"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.

It seems like the traditional dental route where they shoot UV into your mouth for an hour is highly overrated and expensive anyone have any recommendations?
 

"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.

Even the Colgate strips work fine, it’s just h2o2.

I'm using one of those kits on Amazon with the 'UV' light, easy enough and only $20 for about 8 sessions

Huffing white spray paint. Krylon works wonders for this
 

"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.

Use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash every other day. Look for Either 3%, food grade, or anything that says oral antiseptic etc. Just swish around like normal mouthwash for a few minutes. I shouldn’t have to say don’t swallow but that’s hopefully self explanatory. Even a small amount mixed with saliva won’t hurt if swallowed. Make sure it’s HYDROGEN and not benzoil peroxide.

I had used janina whitening in the past it was a good product and gave me 2 shades of whiter tooth in 2 weeks but it was expensive and a small container ( 50mg).

Go to Walmart and buy those teeth whitening strips for $20. You have to use it for 2 weeks (30min each day). You'll get 2 shades brighter. In my opinion it's better than the fake Hollywood white. You can buy another box and use it for another 2 weeks if you feel like it ain't enough.

As for sensitivity, buy Sensodyne (or the Walmart brand) toothpaste. Otherwise, you'll be in pain.


As for using Hydrogen Peroxide 3% ($1 at Walmart) as a mouthwash; I knew a girl who smoked a lot and used as a mouthwash. Her teeth was impressively white. So I guess it works.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

While some people do not believe in the traditional dental route, others swear by it. An hour of UV therapy is much more than just shooting UV beams into your mouth. This treatment usually includes several treatments over weeks or months to achieve desired results.
The benefits associated with this type of therapy include reducing tooth decay and minimizing gum disease susceptibility. Additionally, it can help improve smile attractiveness due to increased brightness and depth on teeth. Many people also find that their oral health has improved after undergoing UV therapy – as part of or all the treatment plans for their teeth-related issues.

Last year I switched from red to white wine and bought the new Oral B i9 toothbrush, that did the trick. Now I don't drink or smoke and brushing twice a day for 4 minutes I've seen a big improvement.

I might get some h2o2 to gargle.

Look for Either 3%, food grade, or anything that says oral antiseptic etc.
Food grade contains more than 35% H2O2 which is very dangerous, just go for 3% and only care about the % otherwise you may come a cropper.

Does this help with sensitivity?
I have no idea, I think it's designed for maximum whitenening over anything. I havent used it yet

Currently on a round of Crest 3D strips, level 12, usually do a cycle of it every four months or so, pretty pleased. A new place that specializes in cosmetic dental just opened across from my office so I may check that out eventually for a more professional whitening.

My dentist made custom trays for me and uses hydrogen peroxide gel. It was about $300 to get the trays made and the initial treatment. I can get refills as needed online pretty cheap.
