"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.

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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
 

"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.
