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.
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.
Yet, even Hugh Laurie would know...According to the patient care report, the paramedics said that Paul had told them that Lapinski woke up during the procedure, started coughing and was given propofol. When Lapinski stopped breathing, CPR was started and the paramedics were called. After they arrived, according to the report, the paramedics found two pieces of surgical gauze in Lapinski's airway as they tried to intubate him.
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.
fvck that, that story just made me realize im keeping my wisdom teeth. There is so much calculation that goes into the concentration and volume of anesthesia used per patient its mind blowing. Why the hell would you sedate him MORE after coughing... when your air way is restricted you cough as his way. And there was two fvcking pieces of gauze trapped in his airway, really? God there is a reason dentists are failed doctors. Med schools didn't want them so here they are botching up peoples' mouths.Bible_Belt said:Usually, it's a little kid that they kill instead of an adult. Unlike doctors, dentists are allowed to be their own anesthesiologists. Putting someone under, keeping them there, and then bringing them back is no small accomplishment. There's a reason anesthesiologists are so highly paid and also must buy such expensive malpractice insurance. It's not the type of thing someone can master after a weekend seminar, which is about how much training a lot of dentists have with anesthesia.
