"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Anyone know a good cream to use to remove bags under eyes? Wondering if there's anything that can heal it (like, putting it on before you sleep) instead of just cover it up. Not getting enough sleep lately, and my bags are getting really bad.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well, the only sure way to fix it is getting some 8 hours of sleep or so. Exercise should help out as well. As far as medications, I have no idea. Maybe someone can pass some wisdom in here.

Back when I had two jobs, I had the same problem. It was getting pretty bad cause I started looking like a freakin heroin addict. My gf at the time gave me this tip and it worked pretty well (but try to sleep healthy hours anyway):

Take a table spoon, and run cold water over it for like 2 mins. Close your eye, and place the now cold spoon right over your eye. This causes the blood cells in your eye bags to contract from cold. Repeat with 2nd eye.

Also, don't take warm showers, make sure you eat healthy, and try to exercise as often as you can.

Sounds like that would only help until your skin went back to normal temperature (which wouldnt take very long).

Tried that, but the good effects didn't last for very long. Actually, I looked at my sleeping patterns for the past few weeks, and I've almost been getting 6-7 hours of sleep a day, so it's not that bad. Just that it's at strange hours, like sleeping at 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, and such. Anyone know whether it matters? I asked my derm a while back, and she didn't have a clue.. haha
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

well it could be allergies those with allergies get them. So allergy meds could clear them up.

If its from lack of sleep there are under eye cremes around such as "sudden change under eye"

Another way to help is get a tan and they are less obvious

as gross as this sounds , it actually works:

take a pea size drop of preperation h and rub it on the bag under your eye , then do the next eye. close your eyes and go straight to bed. in the morning wash your face.... the bags are now gone and it feels like you opened your eyes for the first time:D

Go to Bath and Body Works and get "Aromatherapy Spa Soothing Eye Pads" They are white pads with cucumber extract that you press around your eyes and leave them on for 10 minutes. When I took them off the first time, my puffy eyes were totally gone and my face looked noticeably better. I swear by them now and use them every two to four weeks. Of course your mileage may vary.
