Ok I'm pretty damn white and I've tried laying out in the sun (live in az) and it's just turning me red. I put on sunscreen and I stay white. Is there anything out there as far as tanning lotions go that can help me? I'm leary to try since I heard they can turn your skin yellow. What's that best product out there? I don't want the fake tan lotion to put on but something that will help get a natural tan.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.
If you're really white, I'd suggest using tanning lotions since they gradually give you a tan. Better wash your palms though, because it'll look weird having tanned palms. lol
Tanning out in the sun is probably gonna (as you say).. Just turn you red! That's why I'd recommend fake tans for you!
I naturally have a bit of a tan, but using these lotions help me keep my skin tone glowing all year long!
The one I use is by Dove. It looks like a lotion bottle but it isn't... I got 2 bottles at costco for a pretty decent price. I heard that spray-on tans are pretty decent nowadays... I'd suggest reading the reviews for the products you see in your local store, over the Internet.
Good luck achieving that tan!
Oh, and I believe they make a tube for your face.. It works better because it won't clog pores and won't leave an oily residue on your face as well...
Unlike most lotion tans, the one by Dove doesn't stink bad!

start slowly, let your skin adapt, take your time.
Start in a tanning salon, easier to control the exposure:
-start with 4mins
-go 3-4 times a week
-add 1minute exposure every session
this will give your skin time to adapt.

No such thing as a Good Tan. Tanning is the body response to UV light damage. Yep, 80% of what we call skin aging is really UV induced photoageing (ie sun damage).
Tanning booths are horrible as these emit very high levels of UVA rays.
UVB rays = burning/tanning rays.
UVA rays = aging rays.
Use one of those self tanners or get a spray tan. In 20 years, you will glad that you did.
Those dihydroxacetone self tanners do work. might want to one get with an spf15.
If MUST get a tan, tan gradually by using a spf 15 product that has broad spectrum UVB/UVA protection. You have to read the labels for broad spectrum protection. Look for parsol 1789 for long wave UV protection, and oxybenzone or mexoryl SX for short wave UVA protection on the label. Also look for octocrylene (UVB blocker) on the label as it stabilizes the parsol 1789.

"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 get sun damage long before that.

I'm pretty damn white also, how would I go about applying a very light natural looking tan?
If you decide that what you want is tan skin (keeping in mind that everything Road Demon said has been proven), there are "safer" ways to do it.
-- Put on sun tan lotion. You can still get tan with sun tan lotion.
-- Don't stay out too long. Staying in the sun for a couple hours will get you red, which may then turn into a tan, which will then peel and your skin will fade. If you go out in the sun for about 40 minutes a day (maybe a little less in AZ), you will get a "deeper" tan that will last longer and not burn.
-- Use tons of moisturizer. Not only will this stop against peeling, but it will help decrease the negative side effects of tanning.

"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 came across that short article a while ago. I had fairly decent results from it, but you have to be consistent.
