"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.

Any ways to get rid of it faster? I went on a hiking trip and without realizing it got ivy on my hands then on my eyes and nose. Now the whole left side of my face is swollen up pretty bad and my nose is crismon red.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Calemine lotion. Oh, and take baking soda baths...take something like Arm&Hammer baking soda and sprinkle some in a warm bath. That helps with the itching.

I had it REALLY bad 2 years ago, the calemine lotion didn't work all that great and I had to go to the doctor to get some really powerful cream that had stereroids in it I think and it seemed to work, those oatmeal baths also seemed to help a little, they sell them at most stores like WalMart etc.

Went to the eye doctor to make sure that the swelling around my eye wasnt damaging anything and he gave me some steriods and an antibiotic. Then before i went to bed i put some coldsore medicine on the really dry and painful parts and it seems to have reduced it some. Since the coldsore medicine worked im not so sure now that it was Ivy and that it was some sort of infection.
 

"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.
