"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've been trying to get rid of my acne for some time now, and I've been thinking of trying something new. Proactiv seems to work, but it has to be used religiously and takes too long in my opinion. Plus, its expensive.

Any body have any luck with anything else?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

This stuff works wonders. I never had bad acne, but I've had the occasional spot and this stuff exterminates the fvckers.

If you use it regulary, then also use moisturiser. As homo as that sounds, it prevents your skin looking too dry.

What about "Exposed'? Anybody ever heard about that?

Keep it coming keep it coming
 

"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.

Hi.
I used to have quite alot of acne and i know how badly this affects your confidence. I found it really hard to maintain eyecontact with girls especially if they were close. I decided to do something about it. I went to a dermatologist and he recommended that I should take a roaccutane cure. This was expensive but cleared up everything like magic! There was some side-effects though. Dry skin, and chopped lips etc, but it was all worth it.

I now use antibiotics just to ensure that my face is clear all the time, which it is now. I believe that nice skin is essential to having good confidence.

Good luck!

I think it was about 1000$ for 7 months of treatment, but the government (in Norways atleast) covered 2/3's of the cost. I personally think it was worth it and would have done it again, but I'm not familiar with how the system works in other countries..

If you don't have very severe acne, antibiotics may help you alot. I use tetracyklin now and that keeps everything in check + it's pretty cheap. 15 bucks for 1,5 months or so..I also use differin on the blemishes. Works great.

Roaccutane is supposed to be permenent though, whilst antibiotics only keeps it in check while you use it. It may come back. It also depends on wether or not your acne is genetic or if it's just caused by hormons...
