"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.

Could I put some whitening TOOTPASTE in a mouthpeace ( like in boxing) and keep it in my mouth for an hour to whiten my teeth?
Would that damage my teeth? I don't have the money to do it at the dentist.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Be VERY carefull with whitening, especially the "homemade" version... Those you do at home yourself because those usually tare down the "emalie" ehm dont remember what its called but its the white hard stuff outside on your teeth that make them healthy and hard.... Whiteners destroy that and make your teeth less resistant and strong.

Just buy some Crest White Strips.

Problem solved. :)

And if you REALLY wanted to, I'm willing to bet you could wear them in your mouthpiece (but there are better times to, and I don't know how well they stay on during pummeling).

They work, though.

I dont know about the whole mouthgaurd thing, but a good toothpaste to whiten your teeth is Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, just mix it into a paste.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

crest white strips premium, 7 day treatment, is great. it will take at least a couple of shades off. it's kind of annoying, though, getting those "bottom" strips to work. your gums will likely be sensitive for maybe a month afterwards, but it wasn't a big deal with me.

as far as stripping the enamel off, it doesn't. it's been proven and approved by the FDA. actually its a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution. dental paste is partially HP.

if you want to get absolutely stellar results, get the BrightSmile treatment. it will make your teeth pearly white in 30 minutes. it costs about $500-$700 bucks though. my sister did this and i was stunned.

another alternative is Zoom, which is similar to BrightSmile, but it's a home treatment. you have to make a mold with the kit, then send it in, and they send the goods back to you, and you wear the mouthpiece for about an hour a day for 7 days. this costs $200-$300 bucks. a friend of mine did this, and had great results.

Saw a cosmetic dentist about this who is a leader in cosmetic dentistry and trains other cosmetic dentists around the world.

Basically says many whitening products are resticted by law as to "application" and "potency" of peroxide and whitening agents. Some people have intrinsic colour whereas others its external so when teeth are cleaned its white or not.

Says bleeching trays are the only real way to go white that will be effective and will last.
 

"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.

And how much? Of course he's gonna say that. $500.00? $800.00? (My Ex is a dental Hygenist and she did both. Yeah, the bleeching trays do better. But for the money, the white strips are more economical).

My dental coverage does not cover cosmetic dentistry. I did the white strips. I have a 30 minute drive to work, so every morning for 2 weeks. It's been a month and still white...

Go on Ebay and look up Opalescence. It's a bleaching tray kit that costs like $15. Same exact stuff the dentist uses, same name brand. Only difference is you make your own tray (easy) and it's about $300 cheaper. My friend uses this and she has THE whitest teeth I have ever seen. She uses the 20% gel which is really strong stuff. I am currently using the 15% gel which is still pretty strong (most dentists use 10%). I just started using it, will let you guys know how it goes.
