"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I have worked patrolling outdoors for 11 years. Mostly night shift. My lips would become dry. I put it down to the cold or perhaps dehydration also.
So I started using lypsol. I've been using lypsol for so many years, it's become normal.
I now work dayshift 9-5. A few weeks ago at work i forgot my lypsol. At the end of the day my lips were flaky and dry and sore. So I went 8 hours, only 8 hours without using lypsol and that was the outcome. Concerning.

Just wondering if anybody can advise?
 

"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.

I was using one called burts bees made of bee honey/wax. Seemed really strong and occasionally they make one with spf. Just alone with burts bee's I would recommend. Rather than normal chapstick. Is lypsol typical chapstick?

Yes, lypsol is chapstick.
What I'm aiming for is to reduce the amount I use it A LOT.
Considering what happened after 8 hours it could be a struggle

Well if a different chapstick won't work. Possibly a scarf could do the trick. Depends if your job allows toggle to the uniform tho...

Give Carmex a try. Works extremely well for me when skiing…
 

"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.

Ok, I might try a different chapstick and maybe try hydrating more. Thanks
