"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.

I have a skin problem; it’s not a disease or anything in that type of area. It acts as an allergy. Basically this is what happens, if I itch or scratch my skin the area that I itched will get some what swollen ( something what you would get if you got hit pretty bad, but with out the black and blue). Also if I would accidentally rub against something then that area could turn red, this happens on the face most of the time. After a period of time it 10 to 15 minutes it would go away with out leaving a single trace. Does any one knows what this is and how can I cure this thing. Here are some pictures so u can get a better idea of this thing.

 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

I'm curious, does this happen anytime ANYTHING touches your skin? Or only certain things?

You could try a cream or ointment with hydrocortizone that will reduce the swelling, itching and redness. They sell them over the counter at most drug stores.

Got a reply from the dermatology forum:

this is dermatographism, an exagerated allergic-type response to particular stimuli, usually scratching or minor trauma to the skin. localized histamine release and the cascade of inflammatory events will elicit clinical papules, wheals, edematous plaques, etc. this can be physically demonsrated even with a linear scratch as you noted. it can be intensely pruritic and certainly interfere with quality of life. as for many of the allergic dermatoses the etiology is unclear, defintely an underlying hypersensitivity. there is no cure per se, however control of the condition is quite common. spontaneous remission is sometimes observed, but it seems to have a chronic relapsing/remitting course similar to many other "skin allergies". oral antihistamines are the mainstay of treatment, the condition is managed similar to chronic urticaria. try some zyrtec 10mg qd-bid to start, there are many other options and different meds but i have found this to be effective in most cases. if i can be of any further help to you just let me know.

"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.

Yep. It sounds like your doctor was right in prescribing you antihistamines - perhaps he just didn't give you a strong enough dosage. I am a little surprised that he never told you what it is he was diagnosing you with at the time of writing the prescription... seems a bit unprofessional.

*edit - I see that you stated he gave you antihistamines and that you said you never took them. Perhaps next time, when he gives you Zyrtec (since Claritin won't be covered by your insurance anymore being that it's OTC now...) you should try taking the medicine your doctor says will help? At least, it would be the smart thing to do.
