"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is my dental health....my teeth are literally decaying left and right. Have had to have several pulled toward the back, which just sucks.

Few things are more intimidating than the sound of that drill and getting a tooth pulled. The people in the old days begore miden dentistry must have really suffered when their teeth went bad.

I'm guessing it's the combo of all the sugar I put in my coffee throughout the day and the binge drinking in the weekends.

Tried oil pulling even, an alternative dental health plan. Not too much luck.
 

"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.

Oil Pulling would take months and year and if you keep drinking it would be ineffective don't you think? When you take a health approach you got to be damn near all in. You can't oil pull then have coffee everyday, or go out and drink.

Eat more grass fed butter, heard brushing your teeth with organic coconut oil is good to, almonds ETC research and give it time...

Don't think I could live without my daily coffee. One thing I'm extremely addicted to.

Other poster...I'm in my lower 30s.

Some people just have teeth that decay easily. I have a stomach chronic issue that is known for affecting the teeth. A few years ago I dropped many thousands of dollars on some new choppers (not dentures) and it was worth it. I took impeccable care of my teeth in early adulthood and still they would go bad one after another.

Sounds like a few nightmares I've had. It's enough to scare me into advanced tooth care.

Going to try and stop drinking and putting so much sugar in my coffee.... That appears to be the biggest culprit, especially the drinking based on what I've read.

Genetics has a say in this as well. I drink a quart+ of coffee a day, snack on mints and other sweets. I just went to the dentist for the first time in 20 years back in January. Yep, I had some plaque that needed removed, but other than that, my teeth are almost perfect, not one cavity. (Damn, I sound like a toothpaste ad here.) Also, some medications can affect your teeth as well.
 

"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.

I love coffee too and see it as a pleasure.

However, I don't drink more than two cups per day and I've practically quit putting sugar into
it. The first time you taste it without sugar..........not so good. But then if you're buying and drinking
really decent coffee, you'll find that you can really appreciate the taste of the coffee. Now if I have decent
coffee, I'd feel as if I'm ruining it by putting sugar into it....
