"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.
Do you think it's OVER for DentureCels?

"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.

Sorry to hear, what happened? Based on the thread title, if your dentist is recommending teeth pulling and dentures, my advice is get a second opinion!Just had a bad day at the dentist.
Friend of mine was told same by his dentist, he freaked but got a second opinion and that dentist performed several non-invasive procedures and was able to save all his teeth!
Also, try oil-pulling with coconut oil which has several benefits not just related to teeth and gums.
Many people including myself swear by it. Saves me from seeing my dentist for cleanings every six months to once a year or longer.
Good luck, I hate going to the dentist!
"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.

Yeah but taking them out is absolutely disgusting.
One of the reasons US dentists have the highest suicide rate among all professions is from all the guilt they get from swindling people to perform unnecessary operations in order to bill their insurance.
I've heard similar stories to this one. Someone went to a dentist in the US and he wanted immediately to drill for a minor cavity, and he went to Europe and the dentist there said something to the effect of "let's just wait and see."

Knowing what I know now, I would have told any dentist wanting to drill/fill a cavity to only do so if there is enough original tooth to get a crown, including after the worst case scenario of structural failure.
