"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
How do you make cuts heal faster?

"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.

That should be all you really need to put on a cut. Don't pick at it and it should heal fine. Neosporin or whatever you get should work perfectly and help keep it from scaring or getting infected.
I've cut myself a lot in the last few months, sitting in my closet with black metal turned up full blast, hating my parents and my stupid brothers and—er, at work! Each time I did it, I'd squeeze the bastard closed as hard as I could for as long as it took for the bleeding to stop, and then I'd keep as much pressure on it for as long as possible, which usually ended up being something like 3-4 hours. (Don't keep a rubberband around it, just pull the bandage tight enough that you can feel it pull, but not so tight that an extremity starts to tingle.)
Pressure, cleanliness, and lack of picking and fussing with your new cut should have you back in the game in 2-4 days, depending, of course, on how knarly your laceration is.

"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.

Neosporin or another Antibiotic is great for cuts. They will prevent infection.

You can get vitamin E in a bottled oil form.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
