"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Do you think it's OVER for DentureCels?

"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.

Just had a bad day at the dentist. :(
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!

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!

No, it's a tooth that can't be saved nor replaced by an implant. :( And I'm already missing a bunch - I'm almost back to a set of baby teeth.
 

"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.

Dentures are so good these days they look better than real teeth most times.
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.
