"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.

My last girlfriend complained about my dry lips when kissing. So I got Chapstick. Then she said that tasted bad. Yes, she was a bit picky, but we still managed to kiss a lot. Regardless, does anyone have any better alternatives for lip balm for men?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Wear chapstick, and before you kiss, wipe it off. That's what I always did. Had no complaints.

Burts Bees Wax:

Kinda a pepperminty, what girl doesn't like peppermint lips :D
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I agree too. While not a whole lot of people know about it, Burt's Bees is great. It cools your lips every time you put it on and tasted like... (ermm.. I really don't know what it tastes like... feels good though!)

Oh, another thing... I've heard from a few girls that Aveda sells their own type of chapstick... apparently it's better than anything else out there in the whole world (according to them)... only problem is that it costs ~$15 a tube. If I had money to blow, I might try it... how about you let us know how it works out for you?

Thanks, I'll give these a shot.

I'll try each. I'm overseas, so I'll have to order them. For the Aveda, are we talking about the Lip Saver SPF 15? Which of the Burt's do you use, Lifeguard's Choice or regular Beeswax Lip Balm?

Lip-ice arent that good.
Buy a Lip Balm that you squeeze and you can smooth onto your lips, make your lips shine , NOT like a woman but like a model.
Eulactol Lip Balm - Recommended.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My sister just recommended Rosebud Salve, available from Sephora, which she considers the absolute best, or also a lip balm from Kiehl's.
