"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I have really bad lip problems beyond just the basic chapped, chaffed, and dry that responds to balm. I have tried very balm known to man and it doesn't work. They stay dry and irritated and nothing helps them. I've even been to an ENT and dermatologist and they don't know. Dentist doesn't know either. Are there any supplements, herbs, or dietary changes I could try that might improve this? Thanks.
 

"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.

If your ENT and Dermatologists both don't know, I doubt that anyone here would have any clue. After all, we're not the ones who went to college for at least 8 years to learn about skin. They did. :p

Yeah bro sorry, The Bishop is right. If you've been to a dermatoligst and they dont' know then I doubt anyone here will have the answer! The only thing I can suggest is to see another dermatoligist for a second opinion, not all have the same amount of knowledge...

Do you have a cold or any sickness? That might be the reason why... Maybe the balms aren't the ones for you... Try Vasaline or some special products are drug stores that may work for you.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thanks for the feedback on this. I don't have any cold or sickness and I rarely ever get sick anyway. I've tried vaseline and a number of different brands of balm. I even tried a steroidal ointment that the dermatologist gave me but it didn't help at all.

Wait a bit longer and see what happens... Try using vasaline a couple of times for a week and then drink alot of water. There might be no vitamins going to your lips, so if you are eating random meals at random times, i recommend you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Burnt lips

Make sure your lip balm has some sort of SPF rating or use zinc creams <--- there are clear ones available or stay out of the sun.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
