"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.

Anyone have experience with this? I have a dentist appointment soon to get them professionally whitened as its only $250 but I'm wondering if that's overkill. My teeth aren't yellow or anything but they definitely need whitening.

I have heard many consumer products are just as effective such as crest 3d whitestrips and crest prohealth hd toothpaste, but I'm skeptical I guess. I've also heard using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide works great too.

What are your experiences? I don't really want to **** around with products that take weeks or months of consistent use to work.
 

"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.

Cant really tell much about prices, what I can tell you is that usually the dentist takes a shape of your mouth to produce a bite then gives you some gel to put inside the bite and you have to keep it for few hours at home.

Sometimes they do something right in their facility with some device they have but thats more expensive.

Do you know which treatment you will get?

I'm not sure, I assumed it was some sort of bleaching treatment since they mentioned it took over an hour.

I don't care that much about prices as much as I do about efficiency in the long term. I'd happily go to the dentist every year or two over using products that require almost daily use indefinitely.

Call your dentist and ask about the treatment, say that you may have some dinners or will have to drink coffee for few days once he will tell you that its all good, makes precise questions about the process pretending to be curious.

While in person you can be more straight forward, at the phone people think they can elude questions.
