When you're hoping to make a new friend, it's important to seem approachable. Smiling at the other person, nodding at them in greeting, and keeping your body language relaxed all send the signal that you're open to a new friendship.  Giving off a positive vibe from the start will make other people more likely to want to get to know you and spend time around you. To keep your body language relaxed, your arms should be unfolded, your shoulders should be back but not stiff, and you might lean back slightly. Imagine opening up your body, rather than folding yourself inwards and being closed off. Make sure your body language isn't coming off as flirtatious if you only want to be friends. The hardest part of making a new friend might just be that first time you talk. When you spot a guy you think would be a good friend, look for opportunities to chat.  Start small. Try just saying, "Hey!" when you pass him in the hall or see him standing with a group of mutual acquaintances, or introduce yourself and offer a handshake. Once you feel comfortable, you can work up to longer conversations. Start with something that both of you are interested in and work your way up to sharing personal details. Once you do get into a conversation, don't just talk about yourself. The whole point is to try to get to know this guy better, so ask him about what he likes, and try to avoid questions that can just be answered, “Yes” or “No.”  Try asking him questions like, “Where do you like to hang out on the weekends?” Other topics you could ask him about include what kind of movies he likes, whether he has any pets (and follow-up questions about the pets if he has any), and what kind of games or sports he likes. Honesty is a valuable trait in any friendship. You want to show your new friend the real you because that's who he's going to be spending time with. If you try to pretend to be something you're not, he'll eventually find out and will probably question whether or not he wants to be friends with you.  For example, if your friend says...

When you're in class, an after-school club, or an organization you or your family belongs to, try looking for people you haven't met before. Sometimes, you may get in a rut and hang out with just the same people all the time. Being open to new people can help you make new friends. Try not to judge other kids by what they look like. You may think someone's not like you just because they look a little different, but that person could easily have a lot in common with you. The best way to get a conversation started is to just say "Hello." You should also include your name and ask what the other person's is.  For instance, you could say, "Hello, my name is Dorothy. What's yours?" You can also use whatever you're doing to help the conversation along. As an example, you could say, "Are you new to pep club?" or "How's lunch today?" That is, if you're at lunch or in a club, ask the person if you can sit with them. Spending time with the person is a good way to get to know them. For example, you could say, "Hi, I noticed you over here, and I realized I've never said hello to you. Do you mind if I sit with you today?" Once you've sat with the person a few times, try meeting up at other times. Maybe you can work on homework with each other in the library, or maybe your parents would be okay with you having the person over some time so you can get to know them better.  When you have someone over, that means you're the host. In other words, you need to make sure your guest is having a good time. Ask the person what he or she wants to do. You can have a few things prepared to do, as well.  You can tell if the person is having a good time by watching to see if she or he laughs and smiles. One way to get to know another person is to ask that person questions. You could ask her what her favorite movie or book is. You can also ask about her family and what other things she likes to do. As you get to know her more, you can make the questions a bit more serious. For example, you could ask him or her what makes him afraid or why...

When you're in love with someone, you'll be invested in the impression they make on friends and family members. See how you feel when your partner meets people close to you. How much do you care whether they like this person?  Your social circle plays a big role in the success of your romantic relationship. Even if you really like someone, if your family or friends do not this creates tension. Therefore, if you're in love you'll be heavily infested in how your partner is perceived by others.  If you find yourself paying close attention to how your friends and family members act around your partner, this is a good sign. It means you're invested in the success of the relationship and you may be in love. Jealousy is actually a healthy component to a romantic relationship. However, how you experience jealousy is important.  Evolutionarily speaking, jealousy makes sense. It means you're suspicious of potential threats which means you're committed to the success of your relationship. If you're in love, you may find yourself getting jealous of your partner's interactions with other people and feel somewhat possessive when you're out in public.  However, jealousy can become toxic if it manifests itself in suspicion. Distrust is a sign you may not really be in love. Do you feel the need to check your partner's text messages and emails? If so, you might want to reevaluate your relationship. When you're in love, you'll find yourself changing. Small things, like your tastes, as well as big matters, like your life priorities, will alter when you're with your partner.  When you're in love, you'll take on new characteristics. You'll find yourself developing different tastes and things like your sense of humor and style may change slightly. You may not feel this difference, however, as it happens somewhat subtly.  Ask people close to you, such as friends and family members, whether they've noticed you changing. Is your personality, tastes, or style at all different than it was when the relationship began? If the answer is...

When you're just beginning, try to be sneaky in a small, barely-noticeable way. If you're in a small space, for instance, if you're riding in a car, you can concentrate on improving your sneakiness without having to take your surroundings into account. Try this sneaking exercise: While sitting in the passenger seat, see if there are any coins in the cup holder. Slowly but surely, (over the course of the car ride) take the coins out one at a time. Be sure the driver is not watching you, and try not to make any noise. Later, try to place all the coins back in the cup holder. This exercise will improve your hand steadiness, your ability to move silently, and your ability to read the body language of people you're sneaking on! When you're confident being sneaky in small, controlled environments, it's time to practice sneaking in larger, more active environments. Every additional person in your surroundings is a variable you'll have to account for - being able to account for other peoples' position and line of vision even when you aren't looking at them using clues like the sound of footsteps, etc. is a vital sneaking skill.  Try this exercise: at a social event, watch someone who has a drink out of the corner of your eye. Wait until their back is turned, and then move the drink to another room. After you have moved the drink, go back and watch them as they try to remember where they put it. Make sure you keep a straight face - don't give away that you had something to do with it. This exercise improves your ability to keep inconspicuous in crowded areas as well as your ability to control your emotions in the face of someone you've duped. For a good test of your ability to move silently, stay awake late at night and try to move around the house silently when everyone's asleep - pick a point in your house to sneak to, then sneak back to your room, going through as many rooms as possible. In the stillness of the night, you'll be able to hear even smallest movements. You want to be able to craft lies, excuses, and...

When you're just coming out of a situation that has caused you heartbreak (like the breakup of a relationship) you're going to need to give yourself time to grieve and to deal with all the emotions that are going to plague you in those first months.  Don't immediately throw yourself into work (or something else that consumes all your time) because you'll just keep pushing away the emotions rather than actually dealing with them and that will make it harder on you in the long run. You are going to have lots of emotional ups and downs. Recovering from heartbreak isn't a straight line of progression upward, but rather a spiral. Just remember as you are going through the same emotional circle, that each time around you're better able to deal with the emotions from the heartbreak and that you are getting better. It's nearly impossible to get over the heartbreak of a relationship ending, but constantly being bombarded with information about your ex is definitely not going to help anything. This means no stalking on Facebook, no texting, no drunken phone calls.  Block your ex on social media so that you won't be tempted to spend hours pouring over their Facebook page and over-analyzing every single thing they post in an attempt to figure out if they regret not being with you and miss you, etc. etc. If you're constantly trying to stay in communication with your ex you're not going to be able to move on, which will make your feelings of heartbreak and unhappiness that much harder and that much harder to bear. You are going to be devastated when you encounter heartbreak. There's no way to avoid that and if you fight those feelings you're going to make it harder to deal with them in the long run.  Try journaling about how you're feeling. This is an especially good thing to do if you're bad at talking with other people about your feelings. Every day, write down how you're feeling about the heartbreak. Gradually, you'll see that you are getting better. You don't need to pretend you're fine when you're really really not....

When you're just learning how to spike, it's important to get the footwork down. Practice enough that you know the volleyball approach well enough to do it in your sleep. Remember to start behind the attack line and move toward the imaginary ball. Focus on mastering a fast, powerful approach. Follow through is essential for a powerful strike, because without it, you're forced to halt your hand's momentum before it has had the chance to really attack the ball at full speed. The key is to follow through without touching the net. Bend your elbow during your follow through so you can keep your arm close to your body instead of reaching into the net. Serious volleyball players do special exercises in order to build up the calves, abs, rotator cuff muscles and other muscles that allow them to jump powerfully into the air. Work with your coach to start an exercise routine that will help you jump higher. Here are a few exercises to try:    Do push ups. You can either start with your hands placed on the ground or on an exercise ball, which also helps your shoulder stability. Do three sets of fifteen pushups each, increasing reps as you gain strength over time.  Do a two-hand overhead ball slam. Use a medicine ball (a heavy volleyball-sized ball). Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, use both hands to swing it up over your head, then slam it down on the ground. This works out your shoulders and arm muscles.

When you're just starting off, this is a great exercise. You don't want to strain those muscles too much by squeezing them for too long. If five is even too long for you, you can begin by squeezing those muscles for just 2-3 seconds. Ideally, you should always give those pelvic floor muscles a ten-second break before you repeat the exercise. This gives them enough time to relax and to avoid strain. Count to ten before you begin the next repetition. This can be considered one set of Kegels. If you started off by squeezing those muscles for five seconds, then squeeze them for five seconds, relax them for ten, and repeat this exercise ten times. This should be enough Kegels for one time and you should do the same set of ten 3-4 times a day, but no more. You can increase the amount of seconds that you squeeze those muscles each week. There's no need to do them for any longer, or to do more than one set of them per time. Once you've reached the magic number of ten seconds, stick to it, and continue to do one set of 10 10-second squeezes 3-4 times a day. This is another variation on the Kegel. To perform a pull-in kegel, think of your pelvic floor muscles as a vacuum. Tense your buttocks and pull your legs up and in. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then release it. Do this 10 times in a row. It should take about 50 seconds to complete.

When you're just starting out, it's best to stick with what you have available. Purchasing a console or upgrading your computer is a big expense, and it's best to get some experience under your belt so you know how to make the right decision. If you can, play some games on a friend's platform before you make the decision yourself.  A computer (PC) can play a wide variety of games, but playing the latest and fanciest requires expensive hardware upgrades. Desktops are much better for gaming than laptops.  A console (typically an Xbox, PlayStation, or Wii) is a cheaper option if you don't already have a computer, and requires no technical know-how at all to use. You'll have a much more limited selection of games, and every few years you'll need to buy the next generation console if you want to play new games. If you have neither of the above, you can play on a smart phone, tablet, or portable gaming device, or you can play real-world games described at the end of this section. There are many recommended games below, organized by the type of person they appeal to. You probably already have a good idea what sort of experience you like, even if you're not much of a gamer yet, so skim through and start with the recommendation that sounds most appealing to you. A quick online search will often lead you to the developer's website where you can download or order the game, and where you can find out which devices the game can be played on. If you're not sure whether to buy it, search for a demo or a YouTube play through to find out more.  For computer games, download the free software Steam. This is a hugely popular place to buy games, and the constant discount deals and community discussions are a great way to find new recommendations as well. Most of the recommendations below were released in the last few years, and may still be available at brick-and-mortar game shops. These are great for passing the time or taking your mind off stress, and are typically easy to learn. This category is loosely defined, and sometimes...

When you're learning to count in a new language, it can help to learn the numbers in small groups. Practice with the first five numbers until you have the words memorized, then move on to the next five.  One is un (ahn). Two is deux (deuh). Three is trois (twah). Four is quatre (katr). Five is cinq (sank). After you've memorized numbers one through five and can rattle them off the top of your head, you're ready to move on to the next phase. Pay close attention to six, which is spelled the same in French and English but pronounced very differently.  Six is six (seese). Seven is sept (set). Eight is huit (wheet). Nine is neuf (nurf). Ten is dix (deese). Now that you've memorized all the number words, practice counting to ten. Just like in English, most other French numbers are based on these first ten numbers, so you have a good base to learn the rest of the numbers. If you're having a hard time remembering all the number words or putting them in the right order, search online for French counting songs for children. The melody may help you remember, just as you may have used counting songs to help you learn English. " The French word for "zero" can throw you off, because it's spelled almost exactly as it is in English, but is pronounced slightly differently. The accent mark in zéro indicates that the e should be pronounced with a long-a sound: ZAY-roh.

When you're loading creatine, 5 grams is the recommended dosage to start with; unless a doctor has recommended otherwise, 5 grams is a safe bet.  Use the plastic measuring cup that came with the powder to measure it out. If your can of powder didn't come with a measuring tool, measure one heaping teaspoon, which is roughly equivalent to 5 grams. Pour the powder directly into the water and use a spoon to quickly stir it. If you're using a bottle with a cap, you can close the cap and shake it.  If you don't have a container that is exactly quart-sized, measure four cups of water into a large container and mix in the powder. You may find it convenient to buy a quart-sized water bottle with a lid, which you can carry with you for times when you want to take a dose of creatine outside the house. You can also mix creatine with juice or an electrolyte-containing energy drink. As mentioned above, creatine beings to degrade when it is mixed with water, so you must consume it right away to get the maximum benefit from the supplement.  Chase the creatine with more water. It's important to stay well hydrated while you take creatine, so follow it up with another cup or two. Eat and drink as normal. There are no dietary contraindications for creatine, so you may eat a normal meal before or after consuming it. When you're loading creatine, you need a total of 20 grams a day for the first five days. Space out the doses so you have one at breakfast, one at lunch, one at dinner and one before bed. After the initial 5-day load, taper off to a comfortable maintenance routine. You can safely take up to 4 doses a day, but taking 2 or 3 has the same effect once you're in maintenance mode. Since creatine isn't cheap, you might want to cut back the dosage.

When you're looking at one boring length of time, it can seem to stretch on forever. However, when you break your time up into smaller pieces, it may seem to go faster as get through smaller chunks. Of course, you're just doing this in your head, but this little mind game can make it seem like you're getting through school faster.   For instance, you could break up periods into "starting class," "getting information," "taking notes," "getting the homework assignment," and "preparing to leave." You could even write these sections in your notebook and cross them off as you get through them. Alternatively, you could do specified chunks of time, such as the first 15 minutes, the second 15 minutes, and so on. This is very effective when combined with distractions that will make each 15 minute period go by quickly. Write down things that you find annoying or boring about school. Maybe it's certain subjects you don't like. Maybe you just don't like sitting still for so long. Maybe you can't stand not talking for that period of time. Whatever it is, write it down. If you can't sit still for very long, ask your teachers if your class can take short stretch breaks in the middle of class, so you can move more. If you're bored by certain subjects, try to find things that interest you within that subject. For instance, you may hate history, but you may find it more interesting when you read the individual stories of people in that time period, rather than a general overview.  You can't change everything you dislike about school. However, you can change some things. Don't be afraid to talk to your teachers about things that would help you. Some teachers may not be willing to change the class up, but others will want to do everything they can to help you.  If you do approach your teacher with a request, make sure to do it when you're not in class. Try coming after school. You could say something like, "Hi, Mrs. Jones. I came here to ask you to consider a favor. I know the class is already short, but I was wondering if maybe...

When you're looking for a healthy and nutritious baby cereal, the first place you'll need to look is the food label.  This is where you'll get a lot of information on the product and be able to compare to other items in the store.  Start by looking at the ingredient list.  You'll want to know exactly what you're feeding your child (especially if you're worried about allergies or sensitivities).  This is usually found on the back or side of the cereal container. Regardless of what grain you're choosing, go for 100% whole grains.  If the label says white rice or hulled wheat, these are not 100% whole grains.  You will also see the nutrition fact panel on baby cereals.  If your child needs to meet a certain calorie level to improve growth, this is where you'll find out how many calories this cereal contains per serving. Many health professions like pediatricians suggest starting babies on fortified cereals.  These products have certain nutrients added to them to help them be a more nutrient dense food for your child.  Look for cereals that are fortified with iron.  You might find this as a "call-out" on the front of the package.  Double check there is iron on the ingredient list and on the nutrition fact panel.  Babies need about 10 – 11 mg of iron per day.  You may also see cereals that are fortified with DHA or EPA.  These are optional fortifications; however, both of these healthy fats help support the development of your baby's brain and immune system.  DHA is needed for brain, eye, and nervous system development. DHA accumulates in the brain during the first two years of life. The brain grows quickly at this time of life.  Some infant cereals even advertise that they contain probiotics.  Although this is only an optional fortification, some studies show that probiotics may help infants with colic, diarrhea or eczema. Another option that you'll see on store shelves is organic baby cereal.  Decide whether or not you want to feed your child organic or conventional baby cereal.  Organic baby cereals are...

When you're looking for an excuse to start a conversation with a guy, start with something that's going on around you. For example, you can comment on an event flier you see nearby ("Hey, do you live in this neighborhood? I see that there's a farmer's market but I've never been. Is it any good?"). You could also comment on another person, if you see someone doing something nice ("Did you see that? It's a shame you don't see that more often."). If you see that he's wearing something interesting, like a shirt with an event logo or university, you can ask him about it ("Have you actually gone to Burning Man? I've always want to go."). You can also ask him about an item you see him holding, like a book ("Is that book any good? I'm looking to add to my reading list for this summer."). Look at what he's wearing. If he's wearing something nice, he's probably pretty proud of it and paying him a compliment will be a great way to grab his attention. Especially if he's wearing nice shoes. Watches, ties, and cuff links are also often sources of pride. Everyone likes to feel like they have a purpose, so help him feel like your hero in order to break the ice. Ask him if he'll help you reach something nearby. Ask him to hold your place in line while you grab something really quick (run and grab the nearest item around the corner). Ask him for directions. These can be great ways to start a conversation. Catch his eye and let him see you looking at him with a confused expression. Then, go up to him and say something like, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm sure we've met before. I can't remember where but...I didn't want to be rude and make you feel like I was ignoring you." Then do a quick game of trying to figure out where you've met before. (Where do you work? Do you volunteer? etc...)

When you're looking to address an envelope to an entire family, rather than a single individual, you have two options: you can use the family name to represent the entire family, or you can specifically address the envelope to some (or all) of the family members. Let's tackle the first option first. The easiest way to address an envelope to an entire family is simply write "The (Last Name of the Family) Family" as the first line of your address. This method is a good choice for general communications (like friendly letters) but may be unwise for addressing envelopes in which it's important to know who the letter is specifically for (like wedding invitations). For example, if we're writing a letter to Tim and Janet Jones and their children Emma and Peter, we would address the envelope to The Jones Family. As an alternative to the above, it's also acceptable to simply use the plural form of the family's surname as the first line of the envelope's address. In this case, the plural family name is always preceded by the word "The" so that the final result is in the form of "The Smiths", "The Garcias", and so on.  Don't fall into the trap of using apostrophes here. Apostrophes are used to convey possession, not to make a word plural, so you shouldn't use them in the plural form of the family name. Most family names simply need an -s at the end to become plural (e.g. Thompsons, Lincolns). However, family names that end with an "s", "sh", or "x" sound usually need an -es at the end (e.g. Roses, Foxes, Welshes). Following our example above, if we're writing a letter to the Jones family, in addition to using "The Jones Family" as the first line of our address, we can also simply use The Joneses. Regardless of the method you use for the first line of your envelope's address, the rest of the address is written as it would be for any other letter. Under the first line containing the family name, write the street number or PO box, then, on the next line, write the city, state/province, postal code, and so on. If writing...

When you're making your own stickers, the sky is the limit in terms of design. Use whatever drawing materials you want: colored pencils, markers, pastels, crayons, anything. Make sure your drawing utensil is not washable. Draw the sticker designs on a thin piece of paper, such as loose leaf paper or paper from a notepad. Consider these creative options when you're thinking up sticker designs:    Draw a self-portrait, or portraits of your friends or pets. Cut out neat pictures and words from magazines and newspapers. Print out pictures you find online, or pictures you've uploaded to your computer. Print them on thin computer paper, rather than photo paper, for best results. Use sticker sheets you find online with premade stickers you can print out. Make pictures using rubber stamps. Decorate the picture with glitter. This glue is similar to the adhesive on envelope flaps and is safe for kids to use. It will bind the stickers to most surfaces but doesn't include harsh chemicals. To make the glue, mix the following ingredients in a bowl until they are thoroughly combined:  An envelope of plain gelatin 4 tablespoons boiling water 1 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup A few drops of peppermint extract or vanilla, for flavoring.  Use different kinds of extract for fun flavors! Apply different flavors to different kinds of stickers, make stickers for your friends with surprise flavors, or use certain holiday-themed flavors for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or Easter. When you are finished with the glue, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The glue will gel overnight. To liquefy it, place the container in a bowl of hot water.  This glue can also be used to seal envelopes. When you're ready to stick the stickers to various surfaces, simply lick the back, like you would a stamp, and press them down against the surface for a moment. The homemade glue is quite strong, so be careful where you stick them.

When you're meeting someone for the first time, you typically want to follow up a greeting by telling them your name. To do this in Italian, say mi chiamo (mee kee-AH-moh) followed by your name. If you want to ask the other person their name, you might say come ti chiami (informal) or come si chiama (formal). If you've initially said your name first, you can also use e tu (informal) or e lei(formal), both of which mean "and you." After you've learned someone's name, it's polite to say piacere (pee-ah-SHEHR-reh), which means "pleased to meet you." You can also say piacere di consoscerti (informal) or piacere di consocerla (formal). If you're meeting someone around your age and speaking informally, you might say incantato (or incantata if you present as female) instead. It's similar to the English word "enchanted," and is typically intended to be flirtatious. Especially if you're a tourist traveling in Italy, the person you've just met will likely want to know where you're traveling from. To tell someone where you're from, you can say vengo da (VEEN-goh dah) or sono di (SOH-noh dee), followed by the name of your country (or even the city, if your hometown is well-known). To ask where someone is from, you can say di dove sei (informal) or di dov'è (formal). At this point in a conversation, if you only know a few words in Italian, you should let the person you're talking to know that. Then, you can find out if they speak English or another language in which you are fluent. On the other hand, if you want to practice your Italian, you can ask them to continue speaking Italian to you. Some phrases you might use include:  "Parli inglese?" (informal) or "Parla inglese?" (formal): "Do you speak English? "Può parlare più lentamente?": "Please speak more slowly." "Parli un'altra lingua oltre l'italiano?": "Do you speak a language other than Italian?"

When you're moving on from your divorce and starting to feel like your old self again, you should take the time to appreciate your friends and see how much their help and support has meant to you. Take the time to have a heart to heart with your friends, to have a fun night out, or to take a yoga class or go on a hike with your close friends. Your friendships will grow as you feel like you're becoming a more stable person.  Use this time to reconnect with long-lost friends and to see if you can build a friendship again. You can also turn acquaintances into friendships. Don't be afraid to invite your friend crush out for a cup of tea or a movie. Take your divorce as an opportunity to reconnect with your family and to spend more time with your parents, siblings, and your children, if you have any. They'll know that you're struggling and they'll be there in your time of need, and you can rely on your family no matter what. If your loved ones are across the country, plan a trip to see them, or just spend more time talking on the phone with them, emailing, and connecting with your family members when you can. If you have kids, spend more time than ever bonding with them. They'll need you during this difficult time, too, and you can help each other. After a while, you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of being single. You don't have to be accountable for anyone, you don't have to tell anyone (except your children) what you'll be up to that night, and you can make decisions for yourself instead of factoring another person into where you'd like to eat, what movie you'd like to see, and who you'll hang out with that weekend.  Have fun going out, dancing, and flirting. There's no harm in that. If you're single, you can dance with anyone you'd like to dance with, go on a weekend vacation with your girlfriend, or do anything your heart desires. Don't look at being single as a sad state -- instead, enjoy being independent, meeting new people, and just doing you. Once you've put a few months, or even a year or more, behind...

When you're narrating something (a story, a poem, a joke) you want to make sure that you set the right mood. This means setting up the story's place and time, telling it so that the audience feels like they're there and giving the story immediacy.  Give a little background to the story. What is the setting of it? What is the timing (did it happen in your life? someone else's? is this is a story from long ago?)? All these things can help solidify the narrative in your audience's minds. Tell from the proper point-of-view. Is this your story, did it happen to you? Someone you know? Is it a story people are going to be familiar with (like Cinderella, for example)? Make sure you're telling the story from the right point-of-view. If you're telling a story, especially one that happened to you, rather than narrating from a written story or poem, you want to tell it in present tense. This makes the narrative more immediate for your audience and sucks them into the story more easily. When you're narrating a story, especially one you've come up with yourself or has been related to you, you want to ensure you have a story structure that will interest your audience. People have been telling and narrating stories for thousands of years, so there are a few parameters that can make your story better.  Your story should follow a cause/effect structure, no matter what the story is. This means that something happens and then something else is the effect of the cause, the first thing. Think about it with the word because. "Because of the cause, the effect happened." For example: your comedic story is triggered by you spilling water on the floor. That's the cause, the effect is that you slip on it in the climax of the story. "Because you spilled water on the floor earlier, you slipped on it when you were playing tag." Introduce the conflict early. The conflict and the resolution of the conflict is what keeps your audience interested in the story. Taking too much time introducing it, or veering away from it too often, will reduce...

When you're nervous, it can be tempting to dance around the subject. However, it is important to make your point clear early in the conversation. Otherwise, your parents might grow confused or frustrated.  A good opening line could be, "Do you two have time to talk? I have something important to tell you about my sexuality." You might also choose to wait until you are actually sitting down to talk and say, "I want to let you know that I am gay. I hope that you can support me in being who I am." Coming out is an emotional experience for you. Try to understand that your parents might be feeling emotional, too. For example, if your dad cries, don't immediately take that as a sign of rejection. He's allowed to process emotions, too.  If your mom says she needs time to think, allow her some space. There is a difference between showing empathy and letting people hurt you. If there is any kind of abuse in response to what you've shared (such as insults or verbal abuse), walk away. If you have made arrangements with a supportive friend or family member, go to their house so they can help you through this difficult time. . The best conversations are ones in which everyone contributes and participates. Obviously, you have a lot you want to tell your parents. But remember that they deserve a chance to speak, too. Show that you are willing to listen. Maintain eye contact. You can also avoid defensive postures, such as crossing your arms. In most cases, this will be a very emotional conversation. And remember, it is completely fine to show your emotions. However, remember that you might make more progress if you are able to do so calmly.  Instead of yelling, "Why won't you listen to me!?" try calmly saying, "It makes me feel frustrated when you keep interrupting me." Try taking a deep breath before speaking. It's also fine to take a little time to think about what you want to say next before speaking. This is your news and you want to feel in control of the situation. Remember, your parents do not have the right to...

When you're new to writing ads, it can help to break down other ads and figure out where they went wrong. Find a few bad ads - you'll know they're bad because your first impulse will be to skim right over them - and try to figure out what makes them so ineffective. Is it the headline? The bridge? The tone?  Once you've pinpointed what makes the ad bad, think about how you could make it better. Rewrite the ad to make it more effective. Take a look at effective ads, too, and try to determine what makes them great. When you write your own ad, try to make it sound as natural as you can. Write it as though you're saying it to someone else. People are drawn to natural writing - it speaks to them in a way that overly formal, stilted writing just doesn't.  Don't be too stiff - you want your audience to feel accepted and understood. Don't be too friendly, either - you could come off sounding fake. No matter where your ad is published, you should keep it short and sweet. People don't have time to read an ad that requires more than about 30 seconds of their attention - or less. They're encountering your ad on their way to doing something else, like reading an article or getting off the train or bus they're riding. Your ad should be interesting enough to make a big impression using very few words.  Use short sentences instead of long ones. Longer sentences are difficult to take in in a short period of time. Play with your copy so that you say what you want to say in as few words as possible. It's not necessary to use complete sentences, as long as your message gets across clearly. These days, people want to read reviews and testimonials before buying a product. They aren't usually content to try it out until they're reasonably sure that it has worked for other people. Incorporating a testimonial or two into your ad could be a great way to build trust with your audience right off the bat.  Choose a quote from a well-respected customer, if possible. For example, if you're selling a health product, use a quote from a doctor...

When you're obsessed with someone or something, being in close proximity can make it impossible to think about anything else. The closer you are to your obsession, the harder it will be to stop thinking about it. Putting physical distance between yourself and your obsession will help you gain mental distance, too. It'll be hard at first, but soon you'll feel the obsession's spell start to weaken, bit by bit.  Obsession with a person is a sign of an unhealthy relationship.  You should limit your contact with a person about whom you have developed an unhealthy obsession.  Spend time distracting yourself with other things, finding a way to move on to something else or something greater.  Maybe you're obsessed with a particular pastime, like playing your favorite video game. If that's the case, put the game out of your sight by uninstalling it from your computer or giving your console to a friend to keep for a while until your obsession dies down. Feeding an obsession can give you a little burst of pleasure, so it's really hard to break the habit. Just thinking about the source of your obsession will strengthen its control over you. In order to break the obsession, you've got to starve it. For example, if you're obsessed with a celebrity, stop talking about them with your friends. Stop looking at their Twitter feed, and stop imagining what it'd be like to date them. The more brain space you yield to your obsession, the more it will start to consume.  Cutting off your obsession's sustenance is no easy task. You might find yourself playing mental games, like telling yourself you'll just look at someone's Facebook page one last time before stopping this obsession. But if you want to shed your obsession, you have to cut yourself off right when you want to indulge the most. Sometimes an obsession is so strong that it persists no matter how much you try to starve it. No matter how hard you try to cut yourself off, your thoughts might keep returning to your obsession. If that's the case, don't be hard on yourself—you...

When you're on your period, you're at a higher risk of STDs and pelvic infections. What's more, you're less likely to get pregnant, sure, but it's not impossible. So if you thought this was your ticket to ride, sorry -- you still gotta stay safe. Here are some of your options:   Diaphragms do double-duty as birth control devices and as menstrual cups to inhibit flow. Sometimes, diaphragms can be felt during sex, and removal can be messy. However, they are generally easy to use because your gynecologist will provide a diaphragm fit exactly to your cervical measurements.   Contraceptive sponges are foam devices soaked in spermicide that are inserted into your vagina during sex. They can prevent pregnancy and have the side benefit of absorbing flow, although they don't prevent STDs.   Male condoms will help prevent pregnancy, block STDs, and keep blood from getting on your partner's penis.    Female condoms, which will also keep your partner from coming into contact with blood while enabling more heat and sensation, are also a good form of birth control, although they will provide slightly less protection than male condoms. You can improve the effectiveness of a female condom by putting some spermicide on the closed end before you insert it into your vagina. Wear a menstrual cup for sexual play that doesn't involve intercourse. Wear a softcup for penetrative intercourse.  Avoid wearing regular menstrual cups during penetration. They are not designed to be used that way and will probably leak. However, if you just want to fool around, menstrual cups prevent leaking and allow for mess-free play including oral sex. Skip cups made of rubber because the rubbery smell and the taste of rubber in your vaginal fluid may be unpleasant for your partner. Use a silicone cup instead.  Instead softcups are specifically designed to be used during intercourse. They are shaped like a diaphragm, are very flexible, and available at most drugstores. Keep in mind that while you can have intercourse with a soft cup, it doesn't work as...

When you're ordering Chinese takeout, it may be tempting to order a few tasty appetizers as well.  Although appetizers can add calories to your overall meal, if chosen wisely, they can actually prevent you from overeating.  Here are your best bets:  Hot and sour soup.  Order a small of this low-calorie soup.  It'll help fill you up and possibly save you extra calories overall. Steamed vegetable dumplings.  Splitting an order of four or six won't push you too far over your calorie limit. Spring rolls.  These non-fried, vegetable-filled rolls are the perfect low-calorie appetizer. Chinese food entrees are known to be high in fat, sugar and sodium.  Stick to these healthier options:  Buddha's delite.  This common dish is filled with steamed vegetables and tofu and leaves out unwanted calories and fat. Chicken and broccoli.  This is another popular dish that is also naturally lower in calories.  Ask for the sauce on the side to help control calories even more. Moo goo gai pan.  Similar to Buddha's delite, this dish is filled with vegetables and steamed chicken.  It's low in calories, fat but high in fiber. Shrimp with lobster sauce.  A tasty seafood dish that's high in protein and moderately low in calories. Sometimes the side dishes of Chinese takeout are the tastiest part; however, they can pack on a significant amount of extra calories.  Limit these:  Fried egg rolls.  These large, deep fried rolls are high in calories and fat. Crab rangoon.  These little deep fried dumplings contain little filling and are mostly deep fried dough. Fried rice.  This side dish is re-fried, refined white rice.  It has a ton of calories and fat. BBQ spare ribs.  Sometimes these are listed as an entree as well, but are incredibly high in saturated fat and calories.

When you're packing a suitcase, you can't afford to take your whole wardrobe, so be judicious. You want to be able to include the most useful and reusable clothes for a short period of time on your trip. Bring only items that you'll be able to wear a few times without needing to worry about washing them, or looking like you're unkempt.  For example, you'll probably want to bring a jacket that is suitable for most weathers instead of bringing one for rain, one for cold weather, and others for various purposes. Bring clothes that can be worn for most occasions. If you can, try to only bring one pair of shoes. Taking extra shoes tends to take up too much space and can cram your suitcase. When in doubt, go with a good pair of sturdy all-purpose shoes. Wherever you're going, and for whatever length of stay, you need enough socks and underwear for each day of your trip. You can always get away with re-wearing a t-shirt if you can't do a wash, so you need to make sure you've got enough underclothes to cover the entire trip. If you're going somewhere long term, it's usually a good idea to bring at least five or seven pair of socks and underwear to keep yourself from having to find laundry facilities more often than every week. You might not need to bring any heavy fleeces for your beach trip, but then again, the Atlantic coast gets awfully cold in winter. What kind of weather are you likely to encounter on your trip? Research the typical weather and bring clothes accordingly. It's always good to have layers, even if you're expecting good weather. You don't want to get caught in unexpected downpours and have no clothes to prepare for it. Packing to go to a wedding is obvious–you're going to need some nice clothes. But what about a family reunion? A vacation? Will it all be shorts and sandals, or will you need something nice for an evening out?

When you're planning to freeze celery, it helps to start with the best stalks. Select those that are crisp and tender because they'll be more likely to freeze well. Avoid stalks that have coarse strings when you're freezing celery. After you've selected the celery stalks that you plan to freeze, clean the stalks thoroughly. Run them under cool water and scrub the surface with a vegetable brush to remove any residue. Rinse them again under cool water, and use a sharp knife to trim the base of each stalk and any strings that might be hanging off the ends. If you notice that any portions of the celery stalks are discolored, trim those away as well. Once the celery stalks are clean, use the knife to cut them to your desired length. If you're not sure what recipes you plan to use the celery for in the future, chopping them into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces is usually a good size for most dishes. It can be difficult to chop celery stalks after they've been frozen, so it's best to take the time to chop them now even if you aren't exactly sure what size is right.

When you're playing defense, you'll wear a leather glove on your non-throwing hand to help you catch thrown or batted balls.  If you purchase a new glove, you will want to "break it in" by removing the stiffness of the new leather. There are several methods of doing this, including baking the glove in an oven with special oil applied, leaving it in the sun, or playing a lot of catch with it. Playing the catcher position in fast-pitch requires a special glove. The gloves of catchers (and first basemen) are called mitts. They are made of heavier construction than the typical softball glove. Softball bats are not all the same. They must be chosen with a player’s size and strength in mind. When you look for a bat, look at three primary factors: the length, the weight, and the style.  To find a bat that is the right length, stand up straight and hold a bat by its knob at the end. If you can hold your arm straight down, and the bat touches the ground, it is the right length for you. If you have to bend your elbow, it is too long. If the bat doesn't touch the ground, it's too short. To find a bat that is the right weight, look at the drop. The drop is the numerical difference between the bat's height (in inches) and its weight (in ounces). The drop will range anywhere from -8 to -12. Lighter bats (near -12), are good for weak or slow batters. Heavier bats (near -8), are best for strong batters. You can also test the suitability of the bat's weight by placing it in your throwing hand and holding it straight out in front of you. If you can easily hold it at arm's length for a full minute or more, it is not too heavy for you. There are two main types of softball bats available, aluminum and composite. Each type is appropriate for both beginners and experienced players, but aluminum bats are more popular. These are also available in single- or double-walled construction. Single-walled are cheaper but slightly less effective than double-walled bats. Composite bats will hit the ball farther, but they can crack easily in...

When you're pregnant, your body produces more blood, increasing the need for more iron. If you are not getting enough iron or other nutrients, you might end up anemic. Having mild anemia when you are pregnant is common. But chronic fatigue may point to severe anemia from low iron or vitamin levels. Many of symptoms of anemia are also common symptoms of a normal pregnancy such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and trouble concentrating. Ask your doctor to do a blood test to see if your fatigue is due to anemia. During pregnancy, you might feel tired, run-down, low, and hopeless. Chronic fatigue can be a symptom of depression. If you feel tired, hopeless, and have lost interest in things you normally enjoy, speak to your doctor or midwife to rule out depression. Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid. Having hypothyroidism can cause complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, and other problems. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists state that 1 in 10 Americans suffer from thyroid disease and over 13 million are undiagnosed. Get your doctor to check you for thyroid problems early in your pregnancy. If you are unsure why you are still so tired, go to the doctor and get tests run. This way you rule out any serious underlying medical conditions.

When you're ready to be happy again, it's a good idea to spend a little time focusing on yourself. Spoil yourself, take care of yourself, and focus on making the changes that you want to make in your life. This will help give you time and opportunity to learn something about yourself and become a better person. You'll always feel bitter if you are left thinking that your suffering had no purpose or that those once happy memories are now spoiled because of how things turned out. Help yourself to future happiness by finding meaning in the things that happened. Look for a lesson to be learned or a knowledge gained. See that your bad experiences are there to make your life better and embrace them for that. A great first step to living your new life is to try something new. This will help you feel the tangible difference between who you were then and who you are now. It will help you see your new strength. Do something you've always wanted to do. Do something adventurous. You can travel, take a new job, or anything else that you feel gives you new experiences. Eventually, you'll want to find yourself a new community. A new place to belong, a new group of friends, maybe even someone new to love if that is what you lost. These new people will also help you do new things and have new experiences to build happy memories of. You can meet new people by taking a class, joining a club, or even joining an online community. You might feel, even if you don't realize it, that if you enjoy yourself "too soon" or you find happiness "too soon", that it diminishes the worth of the thing you lost. But that isn't true. And it keeps you from being happy. Let yourself have a good time and don't feel bad about it. You do deserve to be happy. If you find that you're having trouble getting back to business as usual on your own, and that maybe your sadness might be out of control or unusual: seek help! Don't think that getting professional help means you're weak or broken. Just the same as how you'd see a doctor and take medicine when...

When you're ready to connect to your docking station, save all of your current work, put your laptop into sleep or powered-off mode, and close it.  Depending on the type of docking station you're using, it may also be possible to connect your laptop while it's open and running, but if you're using a separate monitor, this can sometimes be distracting. If necessary, expose the docking slot on the back of your laptop. There are two basic kinds of docking stations: horizontal ones that look like a small, squarish block or pad, and slanted ones that look like an elevated book stand. The first type of docking station almost always connects to a slot on the bottom rear of the laptop, so if you're using this sort of docking station, check the back of your laptop to make sure this slot is open. Note that, if you have a book stand-type docking station you may not need to do this. These types of docking stations often have more traditional cable inputs. Next, set the laptop on the docking station, lining up any pegs on the docking station with the appropriate slots on the back of the laptop. See below for more information:  For horizontal "block"-style docking stations, line up the port on the back rear of the laptop with the plug on the docking station. Press down to slide the plug into the port. For "book stand"-type docking stations, simply set your laptop in the stand facing forward. Usually, you there won't be any plugs or ports you need to line up — these types of docking stations mostly use cables. If you're using a docking station that requires a cable to connect to the laptop (or you have a laptop with a port that doesn't match the station's plug), simply connect the cable from the station to the laptop as you would with any sort of peripheral device (like a monitor, keyboard, etc.) Most modern cable-based docking stations use either USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 cables. However, exceptions exist, so check your instruction manual if you're unsure. Once your laptop is connected to your docking station, it should be...

When you're ready to cook the ribs, get the pan ready. Choose a large pan with 2-inch sides that can comfortably hold all of the ribs in a single layer. Stacking the ribs will result in unevenly cooked meat. Cover the pan in a sheet of aluminum foil with the ends hanging off the short sides.  It's important to make sure the pan you use is deep. Ribs produce a lot of juices, and you don't want them to run out of the pan. You can use a glass or metal pan. This will keep the meat moist as it cooks and prevent the bottom of the meat from burning. Pour it directly over the aluminum foil. The arch of the ribs should face up, and the bones should be against the foil. Make sure the ribs aren't overlapping. First bend in the ends of the first sheet of foil, then add a second sheet to form a tent. Scrunch the foil around the handles of the pan to keep it in place. Make sure there are no holes. Keep the ribs covered during this first hour. The ribs are ready for finishing when the meat falls easily from the bone when it is poked with a fork.

When you're ready to lie down in bed, place your neck in or on your neck pillow. Do this in the spot you want to sleep so that you don't have to move out of the proper position, which may increase your risk of neck pain. Make sure that the back of your shoulder(s) and your head are touching the surface on which you're lying. Once you've put your head down on the neck pillow, it's important to see if you are in the proper alignment. This can ensure that you protect your neck and get the most comfortable night's sleep possible.  Make sure your neck pillow is supporting you without your head tilting forward or backward if you are a back sleeper. See if your neck is supported and your nose in line with the center of your body if you are a side sleeper. Keep in mind that both of these will work if you are a combination sleeper. Neck pillows are designed for back, side, and combination sleepers. Most professionals don't recommend sleeping on your stomach because it not only can cause neck pain but also strain your lower back. It takes your neck about 10 to 15 minutes to relax and settle onto your pillow. Before your start thrashing around because you're uncomfortable, stay in one position to see if that's best for you. If not, move into a different position until you find one in which your neck can relax. Remember to give yourself one week of sleeping on a neck pillow to figure out if it is the right one for you. If the pillow still isn't comfortable after a week, consider returning it and/ or getting another option. Most neck pillows have lobes to help keep your neck properly aligned during the night. If you're new to sleeping with a neck pillow, you may find it difficult to sleep on the side with the lobes. For the first few weeks, consider sleeping with the lobes facing downward to help your head and neck adapt to the need sleeping position. Recognize it may take a bit of trial and error to see where on the pillow is most comfortable with the lobes facing downward. Go with whatever provides the most support and...

When you're ready to plant, till the soil about 6 inches (15.2 cm) deep and add a layer (1 cup per 20 feet) of phosphorous fertilizer. However, only do this if your soil is low on phosphorus. Be sure to test your soil first to find out. Using a mixture such as 10-20-10 or 0-20-0 will provide an extra boost for your developing onions. At this point, be sure to remove any weeds that may be present in the garden plot you're planting in. Plant onions so that no more than one inch of soil is placed above the sets or seedlings; if too much of the bulb is buried, the growth of the onion will be reduced and constricted. Space onion sets 4–6 inches (10.2–15.2 cm) apart, and onion seeds 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) apart. As your onions begin to grow, you can transplant them and space them further apart in order to increase their growing size. Place your seeds in the holes you've dug, covering them with ¼ to ½ inch of soil. The sets should be no more than two inches deep. Use your hands or shoes to firmly tamp the soil over the top of the onions; they grow better in firm, rather than loose, soil. Finish up planting by adding a bit of water, and you're set to watch them grow! Transplanted onions require more water than sets or seeds, so give yours a little extra moisture if that's what you planted. Onions are relatively delicate plants, as they have a fragile root system that can easily be damaged or abused by weeds and tugging. Use a hoe to cut off the tops of any weeds that emerge, rather than pulling them out; tugging the weeds could tug out the  roots of the onions, and make growing difficult. Give your onions about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week, and supplement with a nitrogen fertilizer once a month for nutrients. Immediately after planting, add a light layer of mulch between each plant to lock in moisture and block out weeds.  If you want your onions to taste a bit sweeter, give them more water than you normally would. If any of your onions flower, pull them out. These onions have 'bolted' and won't continue to...

When you're saying "goodbye" to someone you know relatively well, you can use "Mach's gut."  Pronounce "Mach's gut" as: mahxs goot  The phrase literally means "do well" ("Mach's" is a conjugated form of "do," and "gut" means "good" or "well"). Translated more loosely, however, the phrase is essentially the equivalent of the English, "Take care!" When you're separating from friends in a fairly casual setting, you can use "Bis bald" to say "see you soon" or "bye for now."  Pronounce "Bis bald" as: biss bahllt  "Bis" is a conunction meaning "until," and "bald" is an adverb meaning "soon," so a fairly direct translation would be "until soon." There are several other phrases that are similar in both construction and meaning:  "Auf bald" (owf bahllt), meaning "onto soon" or "see you soon" "Bis dann" (biss dahn), meaning "until then" "Bis später" (biss speetahr), meaning "until later" " Essentially, this is a polite yet informal way to say "see you later" when speaking with friends and acquaintances.  Pronounce "Wir sehen uns" as: veer zeehn oons  You would leave the phrase at this if you do not know when you'll see each other next, but if you've made plans for your next meeting, it would be better to add "dann" (dahn) to the end of the phrase: "Wir sehen uns dann." This changes the meaning to "see you then." " This means "have a good day" in German, and you can generally use it with loved ones and strangers alike.  Pronounce "Schönen Tag" as: shoon-ehn tahg  You may also hear this spoken as "Schönen Tag noch," (shoon-ehn tahg noc), which is actually the full version of the phrase. Similarly, you can use "Schönes Wochenende" (shoon-eh vahk-ehn-end-ah) if you wish to say "have a good weekend" rather than "have a good day."

When you're selecting herbs, you want to pick very perky bunches and avoid any with lots of wilting leaves, or any sliminess or spotting. Generally, leafy herbs will spoil more quickly, compared to heartier herbs, which can be stored more easily.  Leafy herbs include basil, cilantro, parsley, and mint, and should be stored in water in the fridge. Hearty herbs include sage, rosemary, thyme, and dill. These herbs should be bundled loosely and stored in the fridge, wrapped loosely in paper towel, but not in water. Whether you've bought your herbs in a bunch at the market, or purchased them fresh in a plastic container, it's a good idea to remove the binding and examine them. Remove any wilting, spotted, or slimy stalks, and trim the end of all of the stems.  Dry them thoroughly. Leafy herbs will spoil much more quickly if they're wet. You don't have to trim much, just the very end of the stems. No more than a centimeter or two. Do not remove the leaves from the stems. If you want to dry or freeze your herbs, skip to the next section. Generally, you want to treat fresh herbs the same way you would treat fresh-cut flowers. Put about 1-2 inches of clean filtered water at the bottom of a drinking glass and let your herbs sit with the cut stems submerged. Keep them unbridled and loose. Don't submerge the leaves in water. Just the ends of the stems. Think flowers. Use a loose, open paper towel wrapped around the top of the leaves, and tucked into the glass. This helps to keep the moisture around the herbs, without trapping it against the leaves. It also helps keep the herbs from taking on the smells of your refrigerator. If you don't have a paper towel, a plastic bag can work just as well. These tend to trap moisture against the leaves, making them spoil more quickly, but they can work just fine. Depending on how old your herbs were when you bought them, they should stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. Change out the water every couple of days, and make sure they're not wilting or spoiling.  Remove individual...

When you're sitting in class, it can be easy to doze off when the teacher is at the front of the room talking and you aren't doing anything with your mind or body to stay engaged. But just like you don’t fall asleep in the middle of a conversation with your friends, so too will participating in the class discussion help you stay awake.  As the teacher speaks, take down notes and formulate questions about the material you're learning. If there's something you can't figure out, put up your hand and ask a question about it. When the teacher poses questions to the class, don’t be afraid to put up your hand and provide an answer. Some teachers will put you on the spot for a while because of any noticeable inattentiveness. Your teacher may not allow this, but if you are permitted, get up and go to the back of the class or to get a drink of water if you feel like you're starting to doze off. Staying active is a huge key to staying awake in class, because it keeps your mind and body alert and focused. If your teacher doesn’t have a policy about this, ask if it’s acceptable to walk around quietly during class. Many teachers would actually prefer that you do this instead of falling asleep during their lectures. In case your teacher doesn’t want you getting up during class time, you can still keep your body active in your chair. Move around in your chair, stretch, and exercise your limbs while staying seated.  If you feel you're nodding off, sit up straight and stretch. Move your head from side to side to make your neck limber, and gently twist sideways from the waist to stretch your back.  Kick your legs in front of your desk and stretch them out, and push your arms out in front of you to stretch them as well. Just like stretching and moving in your chair, fidgeting can also keep your body active, and this will prevent you from getting sleepy. The important thing is to do this quietly, otherwise you may distract other students.  Quietly tap your feet on the floor and your fingers on the desk. Keep your feet planted on...

When you're sure you've nailed down the proper length and angle of the clubs you need, the next step in the customization process is figuring out what kind of flex and grip works best for your particularly style of play. To do this, most custom fitters will want to watch you swing, but you can also provide some of the basic information necessary yourself to figure out what will improve your game the most.  To determine your swing speed, you'll likely need access to an electronic launch monitor and a radar machine available at most high-end pro shops. It'll be difficult to do at home. In general, though, most amateurs fall somewhere in the neighborhood of 80–85 mile (129–137 km)-per-hour swings. In general, people with faster swings prefer stiff shafts on their woods and iron shafts on the irons. People with slower swings are more likely to prefer flex shafts on the woods and graphite shafts on the irons. When you're hitting with your wooden drivers, it's helpful to keep track of your average drive on each different club, which can help to match you with a properly flexed set of drivers. Follow the guidelines below to determine the flex your woods should have.  Less than 180 yards (165 meters), use ladies flex. Between 181 to 200 yards (166 to 183 meters), use senior flex. Between 200 to 235 yards (183 to 215 meters), use regular flex. Between 236 to 275 yards (216 to 251 meters), use stiff flex. More than 275 yards (251 meters), use extra-stiff flex. Determining iron flex will depend on which club you generally use to hit a shot of 150 yards (137 meters). So, in other words, if you were lining up to take a 150 yard shot, which club would you reach for?  If a 4 or 5 iron, ladies flex. If a 5 iron, senior flex. If a 6 iron, soft regular flex. If a 7 iron, regular flex. If a 7 or 8 iron, firm flex. If an 8 iron, stiff flex. If a 9 iron, extra stiff flex. A golf glove should fit snugly without wrinkles or creases, working with the grip on the individual clubs to give you the most secure and comfortable contact...

When you're talking to him, stand or sit close. Really close. He should be able to see down your shirt, smell your perfume, and look deep into your lustful eyes. Get playful and move to sitting in his lap. You'll be sending his hips a direct message about exactly where you want them to be. Once you've moved on to kissing, own that kiss. Show him who's boss. Nibble a little. Be passionate. Give him a little taste of what he can expect. Use touch to show him what you have in mind. A casual caress or even a firm grope can show him you mean business. If he's not taking the hint, tell him exactly what you have in mind. Guys will find that taking that kind of initiative is really sexy. Just say something like, "I'm feeling pretty tense. I think I could use a workout. Do you want to get out of here and help me get a little exercise?"

When you're talking to someone else, let her lead the conversation. This can indicate that you're shy and may make you seem mysterious and more irresistible.  Avoid being totally silent, which may make your conversation partner think something is wrong with you or her. Stutter your way to avoid awkward silences especially with ums or uhs. Still be fairly talkative so you don't end up in weird pauses. Let the other person ask questions or offer longer statements before you respond. Make sure to glance often and directly at your chatting partner.  Consider repeating what the person says in a playful way. For example, “you're a boxer, are you?” Give your conversation partner answers with your eyes, smile, and head gestures. This can make you appear shy—and cute.  Answer funny or flirty questions with a smile and tilting your head to one side. Widen your eyes, look directly at the person, smile, and nod your head if your chatting partner says something that sounds good to you.  Keep your tone light and easy. This might involve raising your voice a bit.  Glance away briefly when you're talking, which can make you seem shy.  Blush on cue if you can. Keeping a little distance between you and your chatting partner can make you seem shy. Don't stand too far away, just enough to keep the conversation going and her interest in you.  Sit close to the person and keep a hand on the table somewhat near to hear. This can indicate you want to touch her during conversation but are too shy to make a move. Touch the person instead of answering questions. Keep the touch quick and superficial. Follow it up with a look or brief answer if need be.

When you're talking to the girl you like, you want to make her feel special. People like it when others take an interest in them and the girl you like is no different. Showing that you care about her thoughts will make her more interested in you, as a result.  Ask her opinion on things, even if it's something silly. For example: say you're wearing a shirt that your friend doesn't like, ask for her opinion on whether the shirt is silly or not. Tell her she's the final judge. It'll make her laugh and feel important. Pay attention to the things that she does and says, so you can ask questions about it. For example, if she mentions going rock climbing, ask her how she got started rock climbing and what she enjoys about it. People like talking about themselves, so before you jump in with stories of your own, ask her another question about what she thinks. In this day and age people have really lost the skill of listening (Really listening) to one another. Real listening is when you take the time to absorb what someone is saying rather than thinking about the next thing you're going to say or what you're going to have for dinner.  For example: even if you're at a loud party, when you're having a conversation with her, maintain eye contact, ask questions and if your mind strays, ask for clarification (you can use the loud party as an excuse: "Sorry, it's really loud in here. Can you repeat what you just said?"). To this end, when you're having a conversation with her, don't fidget with stuff, or keep looking all around the room, or keep checking your phone. She'll feel that you don't really care what she has to say. Laughter is a great way to bond with someone. This doesn't mean that you need to be the class clown (Actually, it will probably work best if you aren't). All this means is that you make her laugh and say a few entertaining things. Now, everyone has a different sense of humor and you know her best, but if you're not sure there are a few things to do that rarely fail.  Gently poke fun at yourself. You...

When you're trying to change your diet and eat more healthfully, planning out your meals can be helpful.  Write out your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options for a week at a time. Note if you'll need to have a day of meal prep set aside to help make meals quicker. For breakfast you might have 1/2 grapefruit with a bowl of oatmeal, or you could have a scrambled egg with sauteed vegetables and low fat cheese. For lunch you could have a large salad with lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, a handful of walnuts, 1/2 avocado, and beans (black or garbanzo). Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top. For dinner you might go for grilled salmon (with a little dill and lemon), a serving of brown rice, and grilled zucchini. If you need a snack, go for protein and a fruit or vegetable. Try a hard-boiled egg and an apple or greek yogurt with blueberries and ground flax seed. Calorie counting, limiting certain food groups or restricting carbs or fat isn't always an easy diet plan to follow or all that natural. Consuming all foods and keeping an eye on portions is an easier and more natural way to help start weight loss.  When you're measuring and monitoring your portion sizes, you will naturally cut out some calories which can help you lose weight. Invest in a food scale, measuring cups or measuring spoons to help keep you on track. You may also want to measure any bowls, cups, or containers you have at home to see how much food they hold. Measuring portions doesn't mean you have to be hungry all the time, if you use strategies to feel more full. Eating the right foods will go a long way towards helping you lose weight and keep it off.  Eating a balanced diet means that you're consuming adequate amounts of each nutrient your body needs to function.  You'll need to consume the recommended servings of each food and food group to help you meet your daily nutrient needs. Measuring your portion sizes can help you manage this. In addition to eating foods from each food group, it's wise to each a large variety of foods...

When you're trying to get a man in the mood after initial introductions, try playing a game together. Go to a tennis court and play a round. Play a card or board game. Try competitive video games. Competition can spike testosterone levels in both men and women, leading to higher sexual arousal. Pomegranate juice has been shown to boost men's sex drives in a few studies. If you're interested in seducing a man, try offering him a cocktail using pomegranate juice. If he doesn't drink, offer him plain pomegranate juice as a beverage. If you're trying to set a romantic or sexual scene, consider a new hairstyle. Men might not notice right away that you've changed your hair, but they will notice you're looking more put together. This can be attractive.  Much like planning an outfit, pick something you feel good about rather than catering explicitly to a man's interests. While a guy might say he prefers long, layered hair, if you feel sexiest with a short bob that will be conveyed in how you act with your new style.  Talk to a hair stylist about what style and color would be most flattering for you. Talk to one another about sexual fantasies. These do not have to be fantasies you intend to engage in, but just sharing secret desires can enhance both of your sex drives.  Talk about scenes from movies or television shows you found arousing. You can even try watching some of these films together to get you both in the mood. A fun game to play can be "Never Have I Ever," but a sexy version. In this game, you both take turns say something sexual you've never done but have always been curious about. This can be a fun predecessor to physical contact.

When you're trying to maintain a relationship, don't expect the other person to be someone they are not. While it's possible for the members of a couple to compromise on a variety of important issues and even change minor aspects of themselves for their partner, at their cores, most people are the same person for the long haul. Avoid having any sorts of illusions about your partner or assigning them qualities that they lack. Similarly, don't expect a partner to change a major part of who they are to appease you. For example, it's OK to ask your partner (politely, of course) to start taking the garbage out sometimes — this is a reasonable place to look for compromise. However, it's not OK to expect your partner to suddenly decide to want kids if they don't already — this is a deeply personal decision that can't reasonably be undone. Just as you shouldn't try to conceal or change any major part of your partner, it's important to do the same yourself. When dating, it may be tempting to appease someone you like by manipulating the truth about your past or present situation. However, this not only leads to personal guilt, but also poses the risk of problems down the road. When the other person inevitably learns the truth, the level of trust in the relationship can seriously suffer. For example, while it's perfectly OK to dress a little fancier than you normally would for your first few dates, you wouldn't want to pretend that you're agnostic when you actually are quite religious just to make your date happy. Misleading your partner about yourself — either by lying or omitting information about yourself — is an act of deception that, for many people, can be difficult to recover from. What's the best way to find out if you can spend long amounts of time with someone else? Try to do it! To know if a relationship will work in the long-term, it's very important to spend lots of time in the other person's company (ideally in a wide range of environments). If you can stand to be around someone for days, weeks, or months...

When you're trying to woo Mr. Right, you want to show him that you're Ms.-soon-to-be-Mrs. Right. One of the best ways to do this is to show that you are a good person. Show him respect but also, importantly, show respect to others as well. We can tell a lot about a person by how they treat others and if you're kind to the people you don't have to be kind to, that's a good sign. Mr. Right wants someone who thinks they're worth loving and respecting, so show him you think you're worthwhile by respecting yourself. Don't speak poorly of yourself, speak up for yourself in interpersonal situations, wear clothing that isn't demeaning (too big, too small, to revealing, etc), and practice good hygiene, a healthy diet, and reasonable exercise regimen. Mr. Right isn't really Mr. Right if he doesn't fall for who you are as a person. No matter what, being yourself is the most important thing. If a guy doesn't like you the way you are, he isn't worth the time of day. Let your true passions show through, celebrate your positives and embrace your faults as a person. You should never try to be someone that you're not, since this in unhealthy for you and your relationships. A passionate, enthusiastic person is very attractive to just about everyone so engage yourself in pursuing your passions. Do the things that you want to do and get out there to try new things you've always wanted to pick up. Mr. Right will think that this passion is sexy. Guys find clear communication to be one of the most important skills in a relationship, so show him that you're the safe bet by communicating clearly and often. This is also important because it lets you solve problems in your relationship before they become too big to fix, making your relationship more stable and enjoyable for both of you. You know the game: you tease him, make him think you're interested, and then act cold or oblivious right after. You carefully meter out when you call him and how much time he can spend with you to make him want more. This is very manipulative behavior...

When you're used to being in a leadership role, it can be excruciating to step aside and wait for someone else to step up, and even more torturous to watch them fumble at a task that you can accomplish so quickly and easily. But what's the rush? Will it really be the end of the world if things don't go as smoothly as planned? Relax. Take a deep breath. Wait. You'll find that if you just have patience, everything will get done without you having to fight for it.  If others sense that you're being impatient, they'll be much more likely to rush and not to get the job done as well as you'd like. There's a difference between applying gentle pressure and stressing people out. Give people manageable deadlines that they can work with instead of asking for everything to be done in a ridiculously short time frame. Sometimes we're bossy because we want things done right, and there's nothing wrong with striving for a job well done. However, there's more than one way to achieve a good result, and just because your way is the most efficient to get from Point A to Point B doesn't mean it's the best way. By assuming your way is the best way, you lock out the creativity of others, and you also chip away at morale. Perfectionism can actually impede excellence, because it creates a fear of making mistakes, and the possibility of making mistakes is essential for good work.  If you're really having a hard time doing this, tell yourself that being a perfectionist is actually imperfect. Perfectionism is a paradox that prevents you from doing your best work. Say to yourself "Life isn't perfect and that's okay." Many bossy people focus their attention on incompetence, and they fail to notice potential and progress. Try to be more alert to people's individual talents. Give positive feedback. Positive feedback is psychologically fulfilling and will motivate people far more than nitpicking about their performance.  If you notice that a person is doing well and are impressed with the work that person is putting in, then you should praise...

When you're waiting for your turn to speak at the podium, calm, quiet relaxation will probably be the last thing on your mind. However, knowing how to calm your nerves ahead of time can make an otherwise stressful speech a relative breeze. Below are just a few patented techniques to help minimize problems caused by a case of the jitters during your speech:  Rapid heartbeat: Breathe deeply and slowly. Concentrate on someone in the room you're comfortable around, like a friend or family member. Start delivering the words of your speech — you'll naturally relax once you start talking. Racing, panicked thoughts:  Take deep breaths. Look out into the audience and see the humor in their blank, expressionless faces. Alternatively, imagine that the members of the audience are somehow unimportant or laughable (e.g., that they're all in their underwear, etc.) Dry mouth: Bring a bottle of water with you onstage to drink as you need it. Consider also chewing gum before (but not during) your speech. Mimicking the process of eating can have a calming effect on the emotions. In addition, it can stimulate saliva production, preventing a dry mouth. Trembling: Breathe deeply and slowly. If necessary, try slowly tensing and releasing the muscles in the trembling body part to work out the excess energy from your adrenaline high. Above all, relax. You've prepared, so you have no reason to worry about how the speech will turn out. Worrying will only make it harder to deliver the great speech that you're perfectly capable of giving. Even people who otherwise have no tics or neuroses sometimes develop strange repetitive behaviors when put under pressure in public. The best cure for nearly any sort of tic is to relax with the techniques listed above. However, in addition, making a mental list of common speech-giving tics ahead of time can allow you to catch them if you notice them appear while you're delivering your speech. Below are just a few of the most common problems you'll probably want to avoid:   Hurrying or rushing through...
