"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.

My Un-Healable Lip!

Grr... this is bothering me!

It is not always that my lip is dry, but it seems that it always shreds or tears apart and it never seems to fully heal up.

I use some medicated blistex stuff, and I occasionally dunk my lip in water (seriously) to keep it from getting dry.

When the skin grows back it turns pink again, but it never fully comes back before it gets ripped off again (either by picking at it because its cracking, drying, or when it gets gooey and you're forced to pull it off...). Anything I can do to help my lip out? or should I just stop messing with it altogether and just wait a week and see if it works out...?
 

"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.

you might have a vitamin b deficiency and you should take a multi vitamin b stress tablet every day. in two weeks time you will see a difference if that is the problem.

my sons does this and it gets bad in the corners. it gets raw then it scabs up etc. when he takes his vitamins it gets well again.

It could be sun damage. Do you go outside a lot without lip balm? It could also be from dehydration.

Go to a quack's, you bum.
 

"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.
