"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.

So never had this happen to me before. Dating this girl with super sensitive skin.

My stubble is wrecking her face. My facial hair suits me, I love it.

I asked her about her face because it looked sore she said it's irritated, made some excuse and played it off like no big deal.

Then admitted and me prodding her it's my facial hair but kissing me is so worth it.

I like here and want to see where it goes. I'm not prepared for her to surrender because of my facial hair.

Need advice how to soften it up?

Don't want to go clean shaven. I suppose if we end up probably together I would probably cut it off rather than see her in pain.

Want to explore options at the moment.


It's only stubble. I don't really put anything on it. Only mosturiser when I do my face.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have the same problem and it's happened with a few different women. Literally have to shave right before they come over.

I have sandpaper like stubble within a few hours of shaving...like I get 5 O'clock shadow at 11am haha

When I was younger, I worked in the restaurants and my Vice President who was a stickler for clean shaven faces on guys made me get razors to bring to work to shave in the bathroom halfway through my shift(no lie). Although I only did it when he was there which was like once a quarter

Nothing you can do other than try and shave as close as possible as to when you see her.

I'm going to try some oil and different products first to see if I can soften it up.
