Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
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.![]()
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.
Yeah but taking them out is absolutely disgusting.Dentures are so good these days they look better than real teeth most times.
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.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!
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.Yeah but taking them out is absolutely disgusting.

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."
