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.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.

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...
"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.
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.

"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.
