"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.

My right arm got Twanged, laying on my side jacking up my van with a slightly too small hydraulic jack. New rotors. I can't twist off a pickle jar lid. If you tap on the bone on the inside of the elbow, that's the spot. I have stopped working out with weights, just low key Mtn biking. All I know is rest rest rest.. NOT HEALING. Been a month and it seems to want to get better then the slightest wrong activity and it's set back a couple days. Supplements ?
 

"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 had something similar... same area... was so painful I would almost puke trying to hit a golf ball. I actually went against the grain and got theraband flex bars. I started doing the workout for golfers elbow... and it was insanely painful but I actually healed. I think it was forcing more nutrient rich blood into the inflamed tendon.

I recently had tendinitis in my arm and it took 2 months to heal completely. Wearing a forearm brace or tennis elbow brace might help you.
 

"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.

TOPICAL CBD OIL. Sh1t works wonders.

You can also see a Healing Touch or Reiki practitioner if you have the cash.

Have you gone to a doctor to determine what the issue is? Potential cortisone injection might help

Have you gone to a doctor
Thanks for asking. But I'm 3 years away from Medicare/caid. I'm a self employed, single, male, home owner. And I'm white. I will gladly die before writing another outrageous check to the medical industry.

I have decided to not use it until it's healed. I'll make it better & stronger later on.

If it's an injury that requires surgery it may not get better that's the whole point.
 

"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.
