"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.

My teeth really aren't very white and I want to change that. I brush my teeth twice a day and have been an extremely good brusher for at least 4 years or so, but I guess I did too much damage when I was young. I use a toothpaste with a "whitening" formula, but I don't notice it doing anything....what can I do to whiten my teeth?

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.

Crest and other toothpaste companies sell whitening strips that you stick to your teeth for a certain period of time. The strips can temporarily give your teeth a cleaner look. However, from what I have heard, you have to keep using the strips regularly to maintain the whiteness.

You should do a search. There was thread on this exact topic within the last month or so which covered things pretty extensively. It should help.
