"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.

That's it -- one treatment. It's supposed to last indefinitely if you don't stain them. Your mileage may vary. Ask a dentist.

Bro's rule, grrrls drool!
 

"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.

Since I don't have the kind of cash some of you guys have, I tried the Crest White Strips a few weeks ago and am doing the new Colgate brush thingy ($15) right now, you can get both at Walgreens, etc.

It is definetly worth it for the price, it does make your teeth whiter and I'm doing it again so my teeth will be even whiter. Beats paying $600! You'll feel better with whiter teeth and with this new bit of confidence in your look, you'll hopefully be getting more girls.

I went to my dentist, they told me it would cost 600$. Now, i dont have that kind of money. And insurance DOES NOT cover it either. Im left with trying that Crest thing, im going to get it next week and give it a try. I dont drink Cola or smoke either. But when i was younger, i used to only brush my teeth in the morning. Im guessing it was the fact that I only brushed my teeth once a day that stained them a bit.

I suggest going to a dentist and having home bleeching kits made, they are the most effective for the price. The instant laser is more expensive and leaves your teeth more sensitive. The whitners sold in stores are normally acid abrasive and cause tooth damage while whitening. Dentist home bleeching is around 300$, laser around 500-1000$. You can get the same home bleeching kits dentists use with custome mouthpieces at http://www.britewhite.com/. But for me 200$ is worth the dentists professional care and superviosion, YOU ONLY GET ONE SET OF PERMANENT TEETH.
