"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've had this thing on my gum for the last few months. It's sorta a grey/black sack type thing thats a little puffy. I waited until I had my regular check up to see if it was anything serious, I figured the dentist would notice it and tell me. Well, the dentist didnt bat an eye lid.

Last night I was randomly scraping my teeth with my thumbnail when I accidently poked it. It throbbed for a while and bled a tiny bit, and I figured I should phone up the dentist tomorrow [now today] and get it checked out. Surely a gum problem for 4 months should have been seen to right away, and I thought I should stop procrastinating about it.

So I wake up this morning and I cant clench my teeth together, thus I cant really chew anything. No chewing == no semi-/solid food which is just really annoying.

So now I have an emergency appointment with the denist in two hours where I'll be poked and prodded for a good half hour-ish I expect. I'll probably gag/throw up cause I have the worlds most ridiculous gag reflex - making x-rays/ deep probing [oh la la!] of my mouth extremely unplesant and... GRRRR

Anyone had a random infected looking bump at the back of their gums before? I'm really worried now:(
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

I brush twice a day, floss when I feel the need... It's a wisdom tooth thing ;)

On the downside, it's now the biggest it's ever been and I feel like putting my head in a gas oven.
