If possible, pausing printing will stop the queue momentarily and will give you time to cancel the tasks already in the queue. Press the Windows key, type Control Panel, then press ↵ Enter. Within the Control Panel, you should see an option listed, titled Administrative Tools. Opening this option will allow you to access system preferences and settings. Note that altering too many options within the Administrative Tools program does have the potential to damage your system. Try to stick to the task of stopping printer spooling. Within the Administrative Tools window, you should see an option titled, Services. Double-click this option to open up a list of current services running on your computer. If you have trouble finding this option, try tapping the 's' key while in the Administrative Tools window. Each time you press the 's' key, you will automatically cycle through all the options in the list which start with the letter 's'. Within the Services window, find and right-click on the Print Spooler option. From the dropdown menu, select the Stop option. This will end the spooling service and cancel any documents in the printer queue. If you have trouble finding the Print Spooler option, try tapping the 'p' key to cycle through all options in the list that start with the letter 'p'. In order for the printer to not just start printing out documents once you restart spooling, you will have to cancel any outstanding print jobs. Enter C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS into the File Explorer address bar and press ↵ Enter. You may be asked to Continue as an admin from a pop-up dialog box. Click Continue if prompted. Do not delete the PRINTERS folder, only the entries inside. Right-click the same Print Spooler option and click Start. Your printer should now be ready to accept new print jobs.

If possible, remove her from the environment that is triggering the anxiety attack. When a person is anxious, she believes she is in danger: anxiety is fear out of context. Taking her away from the situation she is currently in will help her feel safe. Sitting down will calm the adrenaline that is rushing through her body, and help take her out of fight or flight mode. If your loved one has been prescribed medication to take during an anxiety attack, offer it now. If you don’t know, ask him what his prescribed dosage is. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the dosage and contraindications of any medication your loved one has been prescribed. It’s also good to know how long ago this medication was prescribed and what directions the doctor has given along with it. Speak in short, simple sentences and in a calming, comforting tone. The important thing is to remind her that she is not in danger, the anxiety she is feeling will pass and that you’re present and ready to be supportive. Reassuring things to say include  "It's going to be okay." "You're doing just fine." "Quiet your mind." "You are safe here." "I'm here for you." Deep breathing alleviates symptoms of anxiety. Tell him to breathe with you. Tell him to inhale through his nose while you count to 5 and exhale through his mouth while you count to 5. Say, "We can take some deep breaths together. Put your hands on your stomach, like this. When we breathe in, we'll feel our stomach rise and fall with our breath. I'll count as we hold it. Ready? In... one... two... three...four...five... out... one... two... three… four… five..." Bringing the focus on present reality will help a person having an anxiety attack realize that they are not in danger. Help her focus on and describe her immediate environment. You can also ask her to name all the furniture in the room, then all the wall decor in the room, etc. You want to help distract her from her internal experience by helping her focus on her external experience. Some of the symptoms of anxiety attacks are...

If possible, salt whatever unpleasant food you have to eat to excess. Once you've added enough, it should only be salt you taste when you have to take a bite. Avoid adding so much, however, that the excessive saltiness becomes just as unpleasant. In theory, you can do this with any spice (sugar included), though salt is usually always at hand and salting to excess rarely draws any attention. Pour a bottle of peppermint extract into a small cap (like you'd find on a 24oz soda bottle). Toss the capful into your mouth. Swish it around as you would mouthwash. Spit out the extract and rinse your mouth with cold water. Your taste should be slightly numb for a number of minutes due to the menthol quality of the peppermint extract.  Spearmint extract will have the same menthol quality as peppermint and is an adequate replacement. If you have no extracts of the mint variety, you can also reach for over-powering tastes such as almond or chocolate extract. Coat your mouth in the same way (using only a capful) and whatever you eat next will take on the flavor of the extract. If the flavors you're trying to avoid are in a liquid, use a straw so that you can bypass your tongue. Aim to have it land at the very back of your tongue so that it may go straight down your throat so as to avoid any contact with the taste buds on your tongue.  This is same logic can be used with food. Push whatever you're eating to the sides of your mouth and chew alongside your cheek so that the food cannot reach your tongue. Try and keep your head tilted back slightly to encourage your food/drink to leave your tongue quickly and continue down your throat. With food or drink you do not want to taste, try eating it beforehand with food you like and following it with more. Try eating it quickly, but be careful not to choke or hurt yourself. The less time you allow whatever taste you're attempting to avoid to mingle with your taste buds, the less vulnerable you'll be to the unpleasant taste.

TL;DR in Russian:

Слегка пересолите еду. Сделайте мятный ополаскиватель. Воспользуйтесь соломинкой. Поставьте рядом что-нибудь вкусное.


If possible, set your tank so that it is near a south-facing window that gets lots of sunshine. Spirulina algae need plenty of light and warmth to grow well. Some spirulina growers use artificial light, but results will be better with natural light. Spirulina growers refer to the “medium” the algae grows in, but this really just means the water in the tank, with the mineral “food” added. Fill your tank with filtered water, and add the mineral mix according to the package instructions.  You can run tap water through a standard faucet filter (such as a Brita or Pur filter), and use this for your tank. If your water is chlorinated, you should de-chlorinate it using supplies found at aquarium supply stores. Ideally, the temperature in your tank should be around 35°C (95 F), but above 38°C (100.4 F) is too warm. Use an aquarium thermometer to make sure your tank will provide the right temperature for your spirulina.  Spirulina can tolerate lower temperatures without dying, but will do best in warm environments. If your tank is too cold, you can warm it with an aquarium heater, which can be found at an aquarium supply or pet store. You should follow the exact instructions that come with your bottle of spirulina starter to be sure, but usually it’s simple to add the starter culture. Generally, you just pour one half to three-fourths of the bottle into the medium in your tank.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте аквариум в теплое светлое место. Подготовьте питательную среду. Проверьте температуру воды. Вылейте стартовую культуру спирулины в аквариум.


If possible, try to arrange to see your friend a time or two each year. Keep in touch over the phone by calling and texting. You can also utilize social media to stay as close as possible to each other. This allows the two of you to remain connected without having to expend unreasonable amounts of time, energy, and money to keep the friendship afloat. Avoid putting unreasonable expectations on your friendship. Talking once a week or once a month might be realistic, while talking every day is likely to end quickly. Whether you have moved to a new location or stayed behind when your friend left, your world has changed. This is an opportunity for exploration and excitement. Go out to places you’ve never been before (this should be easy if you are the one that moved). Try to meet new people in the area, and then tell your old friend about some of the great memories that you’ve made. This should not be done in an attempt to make your friend jealous. Just stay connected with them by talking about the things you do now. Clubs, groups, and other affiliations give you a chance to meet new people that have interests similar to yours. This is a great place to look for potential friendships and have some fun. You can look in your local stores and coffee shops for advertisements and postings about when and where different clubs meet. You might also find the information in your newspaper or online. You can even join online groups if you struggle to find something fun in your area, or just want to start online. There is no need to rush into new friendships, but you should be open to them. Accept an invitation from someone you’ve met recently, or reach out and invite them to something you enjoy. Friendships rarely happen instantly, but taking the first step towards making new friends is crucial for you to keep a healthy frame of mind. If you ignore your need to make new local friends, you might end up demanding too much of your long distance friendship and draining your old friend. This could lead to losing touch completely.

TL;DR in Russian:

Периодически общайтесь со своим бывшим другом. Исследуйте свой новый мир. Вступите в клуб или компанию по интересам. Найдите новых друзей.


If possible, try to locate a design pattern for a propeller that will suit your needs. You will need to know the engine power, prop diameter and RPM's and see if you can find plans for a wooden propeller that is ideal for your specs. You can search for designs online, or try checking out a book at the local library. Some books have sample prop blueprints to get you started. Most propellers have two, three, or four blades. Some large aircraft use propellers with even more blades. The more powerful the engine driving the propellers, the more propellers will be needed to distribute the power evenly. While it is possible to carve a three or four blade propeller, it is best to start by building a 2-blade propeller as it is easier for a beginner to construct. Adding blades adds cost, weight and building time. Similar to the amount of propeller blades, increasing the length of the blades can help to handle a more powerful engine. However, blade length can only be increased so much because the blades still need to clear the ground. Measure the distance between the nose and the ground to get an idea of your blade length limitations. A propeller blade is thick at the hub with a large blade angle and thin at the tip with a low blade angle. Determine the width of the blade and the angle of attack. Propeller blades are fixed to their hub at an angle, just as the thread on a screw makes an angle to the shaft. A propeller blade is like a wing with a twist. The twist of the blade makes the propeller more efficient at pushing air or water. This is because the speed of the propeller blade is much faster at the tip than at the hub.  By twisting the blades, the propeller can maintain the same angle of attack across the length of the blades. To figure out the pitch you can use a prop calc. All well-built wood propellers are better at handling the aircraft vibrations, but you need to use a strong, light wood like maple or birch.  Note the grain of the wood when you select your material. A straight grain that is uniform will help...

If possible, use a container with a lid to keep moths out. Stand the brush upright with the bristles on top to preserve their shape. When storing several brushes in one container, be sure that you can reach the handle of each one without disturbing the bristles of any surrounding brushes. Use more than one container to ensure this if necessary. Seal the container and let the liquid rest overnight. Wait for the paint to settle to the bottom. Then pour the clear liquid on top into a second container. Seal and label both containers. Store them in a safe place out of reach of children or pets. Be aware that paint thinner is flammable, so keep it away from flames, heat sources, and excessive heat.  For future projects, dump your dirty thinner into the container with the paint remnants. Allow them separate and then transfer the clean liquid back into your thinner’s container. Repeat until the container holding the separated paint is full. Contact your local government. Find out if and when they collect hazardous materials such as solvents and paint with curbside pickup. If they will not pick it up, ask where drop-offs are accepted. Do not dispose of such chemicals down a house drain, sewer, or into the ground, since they are toxic. Safflower oil (a cooking oil that is safe to dispose down the sink) makes a great substitute for paint thinner if disposing of hazardous chemicals correctly is too burdensome.

If possible, use the same saucepan you cooked the bagnet in from the recipe below. Place the 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste in the pan, and let it cook for a couple of minutes to release its flavor. Pour in a splash of oil to keep the ingredients from burning. Let them cook until the onions are lightly translucent. Add the three tomatoes in large chunks, the pinch of brown sugar, a dash of pepper, and a dash or two of patis. Stir it around for a few minutes. If you think some of your veggies, such as the eggplant, is too tough, you may need to add it in ahead of the other vegetables. Note that some recipes say to add the pork at the end rather than with the vegetables. Only add enough broth to give the vegetables some moisture. You don't want to cover the vegetables with broth. Cover the pot tightly, and let the stew cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can toss the vegetables by shaking the pot, but leave the lid on. At 15 minutes, check to see if the vegetables are tender. If they are, remove the pot from the stove. Plate the rice with the stew poured over the top.

If possible, wait to clean the outside of your home on a warm, dry day. A windy day will cause overspray, which will come back on you as you clean. If it isn't possible to clean on a warm day, at least wait for a dry to clean the outside of your house. Begin by making sure all doors and windows are closed. Secure them with tape if necessary. Put duct tape and plastic sheeting over outside light fixtures, vents, and electrical outlets. Move lawn furniture away from the home. Cover plants and shrubbery with plastic sheeting. Make sure kids and dogs are inside while you clean if you're using a pressure washer. Inspect your home before you begin cleaning. Look for stains that can be cleaned without the use of a garden hose or pressure washing. For most stains, you can use a scrub brush, water, and regular dishwashing soap. Scrub the stain until it begins to lift. For tougher stains, like mildew, use a solution made out of oxygen bleach, water, and dishwashing liquid. Put a gallon (3.8 L) of water, one-quarter pound (1 L) of oxygen bleach, and a one-eighth cup (29.6 mL) of dishwashing liquid in a bucket. Dip a scrub brush in the bucket and scrub the mildew until it lifts. Be very careful when handling bleach. Make sure to wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and handle it in a well-ventilated area.

If possible, you should begin feeding your cat the same brand of food as it has been eating before coming home with you. This will help assure that it does not get an upset stomach from a sudden change to its diet. Ask the shelter, pet store, or person that had the cat before you about what the cat has been eating. This does not mean that you have to keep feeding the cat this food forever. It just will allow you to gradually switch the cat's diet over the course of a week or two. If you are unsure what brand and type of food to feed your new cat, talk to your veterinarian for suggestions. Your veterinarian should be able to give you some ideas that will fulfill the nutritional needs of your cat.  A good time to ask about food recommendations is when you bring your cat in for a checkup as soon as you get it. Your veterinarian may suggest a specialty food for your cat's specific needs. This may include kitten food, senior food, or food for cats that need to lose weight. Once you pick a brand and type of cat food, compare prices at your local stores and online. The same exact product may be a very different price at different stores.  Remember that if you order cat food online you may need to pay for shipping as well. You can also reduce the cost of cat food by buying in larger quantities. You will get the food cheaper if you buy large packages than you would if you buy small packages.

TL;DR in Russian:

If possible, you should pickle okra within 6 - 12 hours of picking. Select tender, green pods of okra that are 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) long for pickling. Trim the end of the stem off the okra, but leave the okra whole. Make the final okra everything that would you feel comfortable eating. . In a large pot, arrange your canning jars onto a wire rack so that they don't rest on the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with water, so that the jars are completely submerged. Turn the burner on and allow the water to come to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the burner off.  Remove the canning jars with canning tongs and place them on a counter pre-lined with a clean towel. Do this so that the heat difference between the counter and the jars doesn't cause them to crack. Dunk the lids and tops into the near-boiling water and leave them there for 5 minutes before removing and placing on a clean towel.

По возможности, выберите самую свежую бамию. Вымойте и обрежьте бамию. Стерилизуйте банки для консервирования.


If possible, you should try to do your trick it for a stranger or a casual acquaintance, as these people will be more impartial. Whatever the reaction, by gauging your audience, you can better know how to improve your performance. It's easy to forget details, especially after the rush of a performance. Keep a small diary or notebook backstage and jot down the reactions to your performance once you're finished. You should also note any personal critique. Areas where you stumbled should be smoothed with more practice, awkward pauses or other difficulties can be improved by refining or thinking up patter. Make changes according to your notes and rehearse your trick until you are comfortable again. Now you're ready to try your trick in front of another test subject, or maybe even a small test audience. The atmosphere will always be slightly different when you're on the spot doing your magic. You'll have prepared yourself physically and emotionally for your test audience, but now you need to return to your stage, even if it's only a classroom or the break-room of your office.

TL;DR in Russian:

Совершенствуйте свое мастерство перед тестовой аудиторией. Делайте записи после каждого выступления. Пересматривайте свои трюки, обновляйте их и испытывайте новые варианты. Периодически выступайте перед зрителями.


If possible, you will want to backup your data before wiping the computer, as all data will be completely erased. You will need a Windows 7 installation disk or alternative OS (such as Linux, which is free) as the OS will also be wiped and you will need a new one if you wish to use the computer again. You will need to download a program for securely wiping your computer. DBAN is a common program but there are also others, like Active@KillDisk. Be sure to download the program from a reputable source. You will need the program on some kind of storage device from which your computer can load.  This should occur automatically. If it doesn’t, you may need to enable this in your BIOS settings. Start the computer and as it is loading press F10 or F12 (depending on your system and keyboard) to access the Boot menu. From there you can specify to boot from a USB or CD first. Turn the computer off and when you reboot it should start from the specified device. Once the computer boots from the disk, the fastest method to wipe the computer will be to type in “dodshort”. You can also open the interactive mode if you want more options. Hit enter and it will start wiping. Once it is done, reinstall your operating system and your computer should once again be functional. You will only need to restore files from your backup.

TL;DR in Russian:

If possible, you will want to desalt the ham before you cook it. Whenever possible, try to desalt the ham prior to baking, roasting, or reheating. This will ensure you are able to remove as much of the salt as possible. If your ham is too salty, dilution is a great way to remove some of the salty flavor. Take the ham and place it in a container of fresh, cold water. Cover the container with a lid or aluminum foil. Then place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours. This will help reduce the saltiness of the ham.  You can soak a ham for up to 72 hours to remove the saltiness. The longer you soak it, the less salty it will be. If soaking the ham for more than 4 hours, make sure you change the water regularly. Replace the water every 2 hours to reduce bacteria growth. After you soak the ham, rinse it with water. Make sure you use fresh, cold water to rinse the ham. Rinse the ham completely. This will help remove any excess salt from the exterior of the ham. You can cook the ham once it is rinsed. If soaking the ham does not remove the saltiness, you can try boiling it. Cut the ham into large chunks and place the meat in a pot of boiling water. Boil the ham for about ten minutes. This can help leach out any remaining salt.  Taste the ham after you have boiled it for about ten minutes. If it is still too salty, try boiling it for another one or two minutes. Do not boil the ham for longer than necessary to remove the salt. Doing so can result in tough, dried out, or unappetizing ham.

If possible, your doctor will want to identify the cause of your chronic pelvic pain, as the preferable form of treatment is to identify and resolve the underlying cause directly. If no definitive cause can be identified, your doctor will focus on managing your symptoms to get your pain under control. Over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers can reduce levels of pain by interrupting the production of a certain chemical called prostaglandin which controls pain sensations.  Simple painkillers target the affected area to reduce levels of prostaglandins, thus lessening the severity of pain as well. Simple painkillers are commonly purchased over the counter. Dosage for adults is usually 500 mg tablets every four to six hours. An example of simple painkiller is ibuprofen (Advil). Your doctor might prescribe stronger, narcotic painkillers if the simple painkillers are not working to relieve your symptoms.  Your doctor may prescribe hydrocodone (vicodin or norco), or oxycodone (Roxicodone). Dosage may vary depending upon the severity of the pain but normal dosage of oral Tramadol for adults is about 50–100 mg every four to six hours, for instance. So long as you are not trying to get pregnant or have any other conditions that would interfere with birth control, you may find that taking birth control pills can have a significant effect on decreasing chronic pelvic pain. This is particularly true if your pelvic pain is cyclical and linked to a part of your menstrual cycle. Many women have worse pain during ovulation (two weeks into their cycle), and during the menstrual period itself. If you find yourself with these cyclical symptoms, speak to your doctor about birth control or other hormonal treatment options. Chronic pelvic pain that is caused by an infection is commonly treated with antibiotics. Be sure to finish the full course of antibiotics that your doctor prescribes, even if your symptoms begin to feel better, as finishing the full course helps to prevent any recurrent infections or complications down the road. These...

Попробуйте воздействовать на триггерные зоны. Если вы все испробовали, сделайте операцию.


If pride rules you, you probably have difficulty admitting your shortcomings. Take an exercise in vulnerability and start disclosing your imperfections. You may find that others are more attracted to you. Plus, you are in a better position to offer feedback without coming off as haughty.  This doesn’t have to be some big revelation. You can start small. The next time you hear someone else being vulnerable—say someone says “Oh, how I have trouble resisting sweets!”—if you can relate to them, say so. Don’t hold yourself back from developing deeper connections in an effort to appear perfect.  Vulnerability takes courage but will get easier the more you practice. Actively listen. You can learn something from everyone, even people who appear to be beneath you. If you adopt the belief that what you have to say is more valuable than what others have to say, you’ll push others away. This approach will also severely limit your growth options. Even if someone approaches you with a far-out idea, show them the respect of listening. Who knows, perhaps half-way through their spiel, you might start to see the genius of their plan. Whether in your professional or personal life, it pays to share the spotlight. Sometimes, prideful people are hesitant to let others shine. You may think that it will diminish your own achievements. It won’t. Give credit where it’s due. And, when you see something positive in someone else, tell them.  For instance, if you notice that a friend appears to be really good at writing, say so. Say, “Wow, I always thought I was the writer of the bunch, but you got some skills, Terry. This is awesome!” Lifting up others also helps you lift yourself as you develop more fully as a person. Humble people understand that everyone, at some point, needs a hand. Prideful people, however, may attempt to do it all themselves, pretending that they don’t need others. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. In fact, if it reduces suffering and promotes collaboration, it’s a smart thing to do. Take baby steps by...

If prompted, log into the Google account in which you’ve installed Avery Label Merge. If you already have an address list in Sheets, follow along with this method to make sure the format is correct. It’s the first large box near the top-left corner of the page. This creates a new blank spreadsheet. These are the names of the type of data in each column. Avery Label Merge requires a header at the top of each column. For example, if you want your labels to contain a United States resident’s name, address, city, state, and zip code, you may call A1 NAME, B1 STREET, C1 city, D1 state, and E1 zip. To do this, click Untitled document at the top-left corner of the data, then type a name (e.g. Addresses). Google Sheets will save your data automatically.

If reading and writing is important to your understanding of Japanese, it is crucial to spend time studying all four of the Japanese written systems. Hiragana and katakana can be learned in as little as a few weeks, and you can use them to write anything you want in Japanese. Kanji will take much longer to learn, but it is also important. Begin practicing Kanji as well.  A good workbook is a great way to begin practicing your reading and writing. You may also want to try online resources, like Duolingo. A fun option for practicing Japanese is to video-chat with a native speaker. Look for online resources that pair language partners together. If you find someone who is a good fit, begin practicing with them 1-2 times per week. Look into My Language Exchange or The Mixxer to locate an online language partner. Purchase Japanese language flashcards, or make them yourself at home. You can purchase (or make) flashcards for each language system, to study specific phrases, and to memorize grammar fundamentals. Flashcards can be a fun way to strengthen your vocabulary in all three language systems (Hiragana, Kanji, or Katakana).  Try posting the flashcards around your house to label items with their Japanese names. Have a friend quiz you with flashcards to practice your memorization. Use the flashcards to quiz yourself. There are numerous online language programs that can help you to learn and practice Japanese, such as Duolingo, Tofugu, and Japanese 101. Seek out these free resources and make practicing Japanese a daily routine.

If recording to the internal sound card is not possible for whatever reason, there is still a way to capture your computer's audio by using an external device plugged into your computer's output. Connect a stereo sound cable (usually a stereo mini-plug) into the output port of your computer's sound card (the green port), and the input of an external device. These include:  An MP3 recorder. Smart phones like the iPhone or Android. A professional recording system. You can even use a second computer. As with the Hardware Method outlined above, all sounds from your computer will be recorded, including system sounds like beeps, alarms, and alerts. You may wish to disable these before recording.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте выход компьютера. Подключите его. Разрешите запись на внешнем устройстве, и захватите свой звук.

If secure information that only a small number of trusted individuals should know suddenly gets out, there might be some chance that the leak came about as a result of a phone tap, particularly if you have discussed the information over the phone at some point.  This is of particular significance if you are in a position that makes you a valuable person to spy on. For instance, if you have a high-level position in a powerful company with many competitors, you might be in danger of falling victim to the underground information industry.  On the other hand, your reasons for being tapped could also be as simple as going through a messy divorce. Your soon-to-be-ex-spouse might wiretap you if he or she wants to dig up information that could be useful during the divorce proceedings. If you want to test this out, you can do so by confiding a fake piece of information that seems important to someone you know you can trust not to tell. If that piece of information gets out, you know that someone else was listening in. If your home was recently robbed or broken into but nothing of value was taken, that alone should suggest to you that something is odd. Sometimes this can suggest that someone broke into your home for the sake of putting a wiretap on your phone.

TL;DR in Russian:

Стоит начать беспокоиться, когда ваши секреты становятся известны широкому кругу людей. Будьте бдительны, если вы недавно стали жертвой кражи со взломом.


If she agrees to go out with you, you better do it right this time. You're lucky enough to be getting a second chance, and third chances are hard to come by. Make the most of your time together and make sure to treat her right. Here's what to do:  Turn up the romance factor. Bring her flowers and take her to a romantic restaurant. Now, you shouldn't overdo it to the point that she feels uncomfortable. Just add a little bit of the romance that was probably missing before.     Compliment her. Let her know she looks nice when you pick her up, and compliment her throughout the date.     Let her know how much you've missed her. Find one or two moments during the date when you tell her how glad you are to have her in your life.     In the end, be yourself. You can become a better listener, a more attentive person, or just learn to understand her needs, but in the end, you're still you, and you should make sure she likes who you really are. Don't try so hard to show that you've changed that there's nothing left of the old you.    If the date went well, and if there are more dates to follow, you need to make sure the relationship doesn't end for the same reason if you really want to stay with this girl. If she's a keeper, you must remind yourself that you have to continue making her feel special.  Remind yourself what happened the last time, and vow not to do it again. Look at it as starting fresh. You don't have to rehash the old relationship, but work on building something completely new and much better. Relax. Just enjoy being with the girl instead of worrying about not screwing up again all the time.

TL;DR in Russian:

Пригласите ее на свидание. Удержите девушку.


If she doesn't respond to your texts, it is important to handle the situation appropriately. There are different levels of texting and it's important to remember the proper etiquette for various situations. Remember that if this is the first time you're texting her, you are still basically a stranger to her. So, if she doesn't respond to you, you need to remember that she doesn't owe you anything and avoid sending her aggressive messages that indicate she owes you a response. If this is the first text you've ever sent, wait a couple of days to give her time to respond. If she doesn't respond after two days, she might be having trouble remembering who you are or how she felt about you. Try texting again after two days with something more specific like, "Hey, Tonya. This is Rob - the charming guy from the coffee shop. Still waiting for that first date :)" A message like this lets the girl know that this is your second attempt to contact her, but is still cute and playful.  You could also try calling her if she hasn't responded after two days. If she doesn't answer, leave a voice mail message saying something like this, "Hey, Tonya. It's Rob. I sent you a text, but I wasn't sure if it went through or not. I was just trying to touch base with you and see how you're doing." If she doesn't call you back or respond in a day or so, you should just leave her alone and move on. Remember that sometimes things come up that are more important than texting. Her mom might be in the hospital or her tire might've blown on her car. There are thousands of things that can happen at any given moment that require you to put off texting, no matter how much you might like the person you're talking to.   Text her something concerned like, "Everything alright?" That way she knows that you noticed her lack of response, but you also care about her. If she still doesn't respond, wait a week or so and send a casual text that sends the message that you are a cool guy with a busy schedule too. Say something like, "Hey, Tonya. I just got...

TL;DR in Russian:

Поймите ситуацию. Дайте ей немного времени и напишите вновь. Дайте ей время, если она перестает писать в середине беседы. Знайте, что делать, если она перестает отвечать перед свиданием.


If she frequently sulks when you disagree with her or when you tell her you're unavailable to do something with her, it might be time to get suspicious. If she seems upset when you don’t do her favors that’s a very bad sign. People are allowed to be upset, but they shouldn’t use their emotions to manipulate you.  For example, if she gets upset when you don’t buy her meals or presents constantly, you should consider what her motivations are. Consider whether she is willing to return favors. People in a healthy relationship should be willing to make small sacrifices to support the other person. This doesn't necessarily mean spending money; it's an even better sign if she is willing to change her plans (within reason) to support you at important times. If she tells you that you can’t hang out with other girls because it makes her worried, you should take a step back and assess the situation. It’s one thing for her to express that sometimes she worries about other girls, but it is entirely different to forbid you from hanging out with your female friends. That is considered manipulative and controlling. Hearing her say that she couldn't take it if you left her may seem flattering, but this is still blackmail manipulating you into staying. If she threatens to tell your family or friends about something you did unless you do what she wants, that’s the sign of an unhealthy relationship. If she tells you she is going to go out with their friends every night this week until you clean up the whole house, that is also blackmail. It may be more subtle than those examples, so take an honest look at her behavior. It’s not healthy to constantly feel guilty in a relationship. If she often says things like, “I would never expect you to do something like that” or makes you feel guilty for hanging out with your friends because it makes her too lonely, you should take notice. Your partner should be supportive; she shouldn’t try to make you feel guilty. If you wanted to go to watch a movie one night but she demands you throw a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Вспышки гнева. Остерегайтесь ревности. Опасайтесь шантажа. Не становитесь жертвой чувства вины. Обратите внимание, не заставляет ли девушка вас менять свои планы ради ее планов.


If she gets a perfect score on her math test, be cheerful about it! If she is having a bad day, let her know that you feel her pain and that you want her to feel better. Ask her if there is any way that you can make her feel better. If you know of a surefire way to cheer her up, use it when she's down. Maybe she likes a special kind of fro-yo that's only available two towns south. Maybe she's excited about teddy-bears that they make her laugh. Whatever it is, go the extra mile to help show her what she means to you.    Everyone has something they don't like about the person they love, but if you have too many big things on that list, that's trouble. You need to love her for the things that make her special, for her uniqueness. Tell her so.  If she's insecure about something, for example, you'd have a golden opportunity to make her feel better. Say something like: "I love your freckles. They really highlight your beauty." A simple thing like that could boost her spirits and show her that you like her for the right reasons. Be especially careful about her insecurities. Most girls (and guys, too) are insecure about some aspect of their personality and/or looks. As you get to know her, you'll probably come to know and understand that insecurity more. Don't call attention to it, be forgiving of it, and encourage her to look at all the other traits that make her wonderful. You can actually directly say that. Girls love to be complimented and to know that they are beautiful, but don't overdo it, particularly in a new friendship. Just saying something like, "You look really nice today" will make her happy. As long as you're sincere and mean it. If you are not, they will not trust your opinion on other things. Share interesting things that you're thinking, or stories about people you've come across. You've probably asked a lot of questions about her, but maybe she doesn't know all that much about you. Share the parts of yourself that you're comfortable sharing, and maybe even the parts of yourself you're still scared...

TL;DR in Russian:

Делитесь эмоциями. Любите ее странности. Дайте ей почувствовать себя самой красивой. Развивайте свои навыки общения. Пригласите ее на свидание, если вы еще этого не сделали. Всегда давайте ей понять, что вы любите ее.


If she has a boyfriend, then you can safely assume that she is going to the dance with him. If you're unsure of whether or not she has a date, then don't worry; ask her out anyway! You can try to ask your friends if they know, or even to ask her friends if she has a date, but be aware that this makes it likely that it will get back to her; you may be better off just winging it.  Don't ask a girl to ditch her current date if she already has one. It will be unfair to the other guy and will reflect poorly on you. Make sure you do this early enough that you have higher chances of getting a favorable response. If we're talking about the prom, then you should ask at least a month or two in advance, at the least. If it's a more common school dance, then give it a few weeks to be safe. Get the conversation started by texting her something like "Hey, how's it going?" or "Hey, what are you up to?" Wait until she responds before asking her out, and let the conversation flow naturally. If she doesn't have your number, let her know who you are and how you got her number; you don't want her to be uncomfortable or to ignore the text because she doesn't know who it's coming from. You either do this by sending a straightforward text saying "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" or by first asking her whether or not she has plans for the dance. If she says no, then say something like "I'd love it if you came with me," or "I think it'd be really fun if we went together." If you want to, you can even make a crack about your dancing skills or say something about how she can show you how to rock the dance floor. There's no need to take yourself too seriously here! If she says yes, congratulations! Now you will have to set up a time and place to meet, coordinate outfits if applicable, and decide on transportation. Don't be nervous about it—the hard part is over and now you can just relax and enjoy the ride.  Let her know that you are excited to go with her and that you think it's going to be a great time. This will make her...

TL;DR in Russian:

Если это возможно, узнайте, встречается ли она с кем-нибудь уже или нет. Сначала пошлите ей дружескую СМС. Пригласите ее на дискотеку. Сделайте соответствующие приготовления.


If she hears that you've been absolutely miserable, crying in public, and shouting her name out on street corners, she'll be turned off quicker than you can say, "I miss you!" Instead, you want her to hear -- and see -- that you're having a great time going about your everyday life without her by your side. She'll see you as a dynamic person who has a lot going for him, and will begin to wonder why you're not openly showing signs of missing her more.  Casually hang out at a place where you're both likely to be. Make sure you show up with friends and she sees you laughing and having a good time without overdoing it. If you see her socially, like at a party, don't drop everything you're doing to run up and ask how she's doing. Come up to her eventually -- but let her see that you have a busy social life without her. It's a fact: you will never be able to make your girl want you back if her friends can't stand you. If her friends don't like you because you were too controlling, not caring enough towards them, or just because you were a bad boyfriend, then your job is to make them think that maybe you weren't so bad after all -- and to pass this information on to the girl you want.  If you run in to her friends, make a conscious effort to make small talk without being too obvious about it. If you talk to her friends, don't bring her up immediately. Though you can casually ask how she's doing and really let them see that you're hurting, if you're open to being so vulnerable. After enough time has passed and you've made it back on her radar, you should slowly start to make your way back into her life. It can be as simple as stopping to have a five minute conversation if you run into her, or casually sliding your tray next to hers at lunch, or even texting her if you know that she'll love something that's about to start playing on TV.  Keep it cool. Be sweet to her while making her wonder if you are just looking to be friends. Don't shower her with compliments the second she hangs out with you again. Once you've...

TL;DR in Russian:

Покажите девушке, что у вас все нормально и без нее. Дайте ее друзьям понять, что она нуждается в вас. Когда придет время, медленно приближайтесь к ней. Покажите, как вы изменились. Набивайте себе цену. Удостоверьтесь, что она хочет, чтобы вы вернулись. Признайтесь в своих чувствах.


If she is cooking, working on something, or just making her coffee in the morning, come up behind her and hold her. Wrap your arms around her and pull her back against you. Kiss her neck gently, smell her hair, and tell her how beautiful she is. This is a sweet, affectionate way of showing her you want her. The physical aspect of the exchange will stimulate her body, while the kind words and compliments will make her feel wanted and sexy and cared for. Whether it’s holding hands while you walk down the street, or putting your arms around her in bed at night, try to touch her as often as you can. It doesn’t have to be gratuitous in public — just a subtle hand on the small of her back, or running your fingers down her arm gently as you stand in line for coffee.  Touching her often will serve as a constant reminder to her that you want to touch her and be close to her, which will help her feel sexy and wanted. You can get more playful with this if you and her both feel comfortable with it. For example, you might give her a pat on the butt as you walk past her in the house, or put your hand in her back pocket. Instead of only quick pecks on the lips or cheek, take a moment to really kiss her. Kiss her gently and slowly, and spend at least 15 seconds doing so. Both of you will be able to really relax into the intimacy of kissing one another, and you’ll be showing her how much you really enjoy being intimate like that with her by not rushing it. When you kiss her, put your hand on her cheek or the back of her neck, or even into her hair. Get into the moment and lose yourself in it. Use the kissing as a way to show her in a nonverbal way just how much you want her. Don’t rush things like foreplay if you want to make a woman feel sexy. Really take your time making her feel sexy and wanted and building up during intimacy. Rushing right into sex can get boring after a while, and she might feel like sex has become something she gives rather than receives. Take your time and show her that she can still enjoy it and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обнимайте девушку со спины и целуйте в шею. Ненавязчиво касайтесь девушки при каждой возможности. Неспешно целуйте девушку. Не торопитесь во время интимных моментов. Девушке должно быть комфортно без одежды. Включите подходящую музыку. Спросите, какие аспекты можно улучшить.


If she is romantically interested in you, her voice will probably get lower, not higher, and it will sound huskier and more breathy. Researchers theorize that there is a cultural stereotype that women who are interested in a man speak in a way that is more low and seductive. There has been a misconception that women who are romantically interested in a man will make the tone of their voices higher and sweeter. However, if she is trying to send you signals that she likes you, she is probably talking in a deeper and huskier tone. A group of gestures together could show that she feels connected to you. For example, if she is smiling, she has her head titled to the side, and she is holding or touching her face at the same time, this could indicate possible romantic interest in you.  If she is extroverted, she may be more expressive with her gestures and more likely to make these kinds displays with people whom she simply feels connected to. Although laughter itself is not an indicator of romantic interest, what happens when she laughs could be. When men are interested in someone they tend to take up more space and lean forward toward that person while they are laughing. When women are interested, they will position their bodies so that their positive physical traits are being highlighted while they are laughing. Women will sit up straighter or take on postures that make them more attractive or seductive. If you are interested in her, your interest in her could hurt your ability to read her signals correctly. Anticipating signals of attraction from her will make your perceptions more unreliable, so take your time and do not jump to conclusions too quickly.   Take the span of a whole night or a few dates to gauge her feelings for you.  When you are observing her try to be objective, and look at the situation how a person with an outside perspective might see it. Look at how she is acting with other people to check to see if you are assuming too much. For example, if she seems to be giving other people lots of eye...

TL;DR in Russian:

Прислушайтесь к тону ее голоса. Обращайте внимание на группы жестов. Следите за языком ее тела, когда она смеется. Не торопитесь с предположениями. Обращайте внимание на сигналы, которые говорят, что она не заинтересована в вас.


If she is willing to listen, make sure not to be too aggressive, confrontational, or blaming; otherwise she will be less likely to consider changing. Always talk in a calm collected manner, even if she begins to yell, keep your cool. Keep in mind that it is very difficult to change others’ behaviors and ways of thinking, particularly if they are self-absorbed or narcissistic. Think hard about what is motivating your mother to act selfishly. Perhaps your mother is going through hardships of her own and is not meaning to be 'selfish'. If your mother is elderly and is in poor health, she may genuinely need more attention and help; her selfishness may be a necessity of her new station in life. If she was neglected as a child, she may be insecure in her relationships with others and this may be contributing to her selfish, self-absorbed personality.  If you understand where she is coming from, you may change your mind on how selfish she is actually being; or if not, you will at least have some sense on how to confront her when the time comes. For example, if you think she is selfish because she was neglected as a child you may remind her that you also feel neglected and that you two should work together to break the family cycle by improving your relationship, not letting her parents’ and her past determine your shared future. Instead of saying things like “you are selfish,” phrase your complaints more along the lines of “I think that sometimes you act selfishly by doing ____”. This puts the emphasis on specific behaviors and refrains from directly making a character judgment. Judging her character will just put her on the defensive and make her upset; if you isolate her specific actions she will more easily see how she has been acting inappropriately; calling her selfish doesn’t give her anything to work with. Saying things like “You’re selfish” or “You aren’t being a good mother” justly put people on the defensive. If you use “you”-statements with your mother, she is likely to shut down and feel attacked, even...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обсудите с матерью свои переживания. Поймите первопричины материнского эгоизма. Сконцентрируйтесь на поведении матери, а не на ее характере. Используйте в общении местоимение “я”. Избегайте преувеличений. Акцентируйте собственные потребности. Установите барьеры. Говорите убедительно. Предложите обратиться к семейному психологу. Пригрозите дистанцированием. Перечеркните прошлое и двигайтесь дальше.


If she knows that the Warriors are your favorite basketball team and has suddenly started talking to you about them, then she may have picked up a new love for the team just because of you. If she knows you love watching Game of Thrones and suddenly knows everything about the characters, then she may just be trying to impress you with these new interests. If she's never shown an interest in your interests before but suddenly seems to know everything about the things you like, then she probably likes you. If she approaches you and asks a question that you know she can easily get answered by someone else, like how hard the math test was, or what new sport you played in gym class, then she's clearly just looking for an excuse to talk to you. If she asks what you think of a certain teacher or the new kid in school, she's just trying to spend more time with you by asking any question that comes to her mind. If the girl teases you, then it's almost definitely true that she likes you. If she makes fun of you, from laughing at your shoes, giggling at your new outfit, or makes a comment about how messy your locker is, then she's just teasing you because she likes to be around you. Sometimes, her teasing can even get a little mean, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like you. Just remember the golden rule: if she's paying attention to you, she likes you. Teasing is just one way of paying attention. In middle school, teasing and flirting are almost interchangeable. Still, there are some signs that the girl is flirting with you. If she winks at you, even jokingly, she's definitely flirting. If she teases you about your new haircut and maybe even says it's an improvement, then she's flirting with you.  If she acts coy, playful, or just a little bit silly around you, then she's flirting with you. If she makes fun of you for liking another girl, especially when you clearly don't like another girl, then she's just flirting with you. If the girl is suddenly interested in who you like and if you want to ask any girl out, then...

TL;DR in Russian:

Понаблюдайте, заводит ли она разговор на тему ваших общих интересов. Обратите внимание, ищет ли она любой предлог, чтобы поговорить с вами. Обратите внимание, поддразнивает ли она вас. Обратите внимание, заигрывает ли она с вами. Обратите внимание, спрашивает ли она вас, кто вам нравится. Обратите внимание на то, что она пишет вам в сообщениях.


If she makes it clear that she only wants to be your friend, think about if you are okay with accepting that role in her life. If you think staying close to her and watching her possibly date other guys (and maybe even ask your advice about them) would be too painful, it's okay to say so. But if you think you can put your romantic feelings aside, be glad this rad girl wants you in her life and make the most of your friendship.  Don't stick around hoping she might change her mind. It's not fair to either of you if you are secretly hoping she'll fall for you if you do enough nice things for her. You'll be deceiving her and you'll be making yourself miserable. If you are spending all your energy trying to convince her that you're the right person for her, you may be missing out on other girls that would love to date you. You may agonize over why she doesn't like you back, and you may want to ask her to explain it to you, or convince her that she's wrong, or tell her friends to tell her you'd make an amazing couple... but you should probably cool it. If you keep pursuing her when she's not interested, you may start to annoy her or even scare her. You don't need to completely ignore her or be mean. Just take a few steps back and treat her more like an acquaintance. Just like you can't help having a crush on her, she can't force herself to have feelings for you. And while it definitely hurts, it's not the end of the world. It's completely okay to feel upset and sad when something doesn't work out. Luckily, she's not the only girl out there, and it probably won't be long until you meet someone new. Chances are the girl just thought she was treating you like a friend and wasn't trying to lead you on. Try not to hold a grudge and just move forward.

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, сможете ли вы просто быть ее другом. Дайте ей немного пространства. Смиритесь и двигайтесь дальше.


If she only sees you around every once in a while, you won’t be on her mind that often. If you want a shot with her, you need to see her regularly  Join her friend group. Ingratiate yourself to her best friends. If her friends hold you in high regard, chances are she will, too. Being part of her friend group ensures that you will be invited to events that she will be attending. Get her phone number. Wait for a natural opportunity to ask for her number. You were having a conversation and it was cut off? Ask for her number so you can continue talking. You’re planning a get-together for your friend group? Perfect reason to make sure you have her number. Make sure she sees that you’re a positive person to have in her life. Do you have a great sense of humor? Are you empathetic and open to talking about your feelings?  Are you particularly creative? Slip these traits into your conversation with her or her friends. She’ll start to see what she’s missing out on. No relationship is perfect, and there are likely things she’d change about her boyfriend if she could.  Casually ask her about her relationship. As she grows to trust you, she’ll share more information with you. If she tells you that her boyfriend never takes the time to hear about her day, don’t tell her that you’d always make time to listen to her if you were in his shoes. Store this information. Another day, make sure you ask her how her day is going and actively listen. If you are hanging out with her friends while she’s not around, pay attention if they are gossiping. They may say something about her relationship that you can use to play up your strengths in contrast to her boyfriend’s weaknesses. You’ve set the stage so that she sees you in good light. You can decide if your move will be verbal or physical. Will you tell her you’re attracted to her or just lean in for the kiss? Wait for a time when the two of you are alone and the mood is light. Though you've been contemplating this for a while, it could be totally out of the blue for her.  If she...

TL;DR in Russian:

Будьте в ее жизни. Проявите ваши лучшие качества. Найдите слабые места в ее теперешних отношениях. Сделайте первый шаг. Будьте готовы к ее реакции. Спросите ее о решении.


If she says no, it's not the end of the world. You'll feel sad but you will find someone else. You don't want to try to force feelings or a relationship between the two of you. You deserve someone who likes you as much as you like her. It's not your fault that she doesn't return your feelings and it's not her fault either: some people just aren't compatible. What you can do though is work on making sure that the next time you develop feelings for a girl, you'll be the best version of yourself that you can be. This is the best way to ensure that the right girl will return your feelings. It's scary but you should try to tell her in person how you feel. Using a text, email, other friend, or other method just makes you seem childish and like you don't really care that much. When we don't take care of our bodies, it tells other people that we don't think we're worth taking care of or liking at all. You're awesome and you should treat yourself like you are! Respect yourself and take care of your body. Wash regularly, wear a deodorant, and wear clean clothes that fit and look good on your body. No one will want to date someone who just does nothing, who is nothing. Show girls that you're a full, interesting person by getting yourself up off the couch and doing things. Do a sport, learn a skill, join some clubs, focus on schoolwork: do whatever makes you happy. You want any girl that hears about you or gets to know you to know you as a good person. Work on your personality if you tend to be self-centered, always be kind to everyone around you, and maybe even do some volunteer work. These kinds of things attract the good kind of girl that you want to date. If you don't have too much else going for you, you can always get a girl's interest by having some cool skills or talents. If you're not already good at something, take the opportunity to learn a new skill! This will help you with girls and be rewarding for you in the long run. This might take some getting to know her or even secretly getting her friends in on your...

TL;DR in Russian:

Пробуйте снова и снова. По возможности говорите с ней лично. Следите за собой. Занимайтесь чем-то в жизни. Помогайте другим. Получите какие-нибудь крутые навыки. Убедитесь, что у нее никого нет.


If she starts wearing perfume and cuter clothes, she tries talking to you more, etc., then she definitely likes you. Tell her she's looking great. Compliment on her appearance. Girls try looking attractive for a reason. It's helpful to reward her effort with compliments, increased attention, or even a date. The next step in your relationship has come: You're pretty sure she likes you, and you want to take the next move. Find a nice, relatively isolated place to ask her (away from friends and distractions). Make sure there's nothing distracting about your appearance. Remember to be confident. Remember, the girl expects you to take the initiative and ask her. You don't have to call it a "date." When you ask her, try to stay casual about it. If she asks you whether you're asking her out on a date, you can say yes, but calling it a date might unnecessarily scare her. Here are some ways to ask her:  "Hey, so that movie we were talking about last week? I got a couple tickets to it, would you want to go together on Friday?" "Hi, so I know the state fair is pretty lame. But my friend has a booth and I'm thinking about going. Would you want to brave it together?" "Hey there. I was thinking about going to the football game when they play [our rivals] on Friday. Do you want to go with me?" Asking her out is an art, not a science. But there's a couple things that you can do to ensure that you give yourself the best chance to impress her and successfully get that date.  Practice your lines beforehand. Try it in a mirror if you have one. Practicing your lines will help you feel more confident when it comes time to actually ask her. Plus, you won't be as likely to stutter or flub your lines. Making sure your question comes out as smoothly as possible is important. Ask her in person, not text. Text is certainly an easier way to ask her out, but it's not nearly as effective. The problem with text is that it's easier for her to say no to you, because she doesn't have to deal with your emotional reaction directly, in person. So...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обращайте внимание на знаки. Пригласите ее на свидание. Хорошо продумайте, как вы будете приглашать ее на свидание. Ожидайте лучшего, но будьте готовы и к худшему. Поведите ее на свидание.


If she tilts her head one way, you should tilt your head the opposite way to avoid bumping noses. Start with a gentle tilt of only a few inches. There are plenty of kissing techniques, but the real trick to a great make out session is to let it escalate slowly. By starting slow, you leave room for the kiss to build. She’ll probably send you signals that she wants you to kiss her more deeply, like leaning closer to you or putting her hands on your arms, shoulders, or face. If you like, you can touch her cheek or her hair as you kiss. The first kiss should be long enough to be intimate, but try stopping after about 10 seconds. Pull back just far enough to look into her eyes and smile. If she’s smiling and seems comfortable, lean in for another kiss. If she seems hesitant or uncomfortable, stop kissing her and ask her if everything is okay. She may have something on her mind that she wants to talk about, or she may not want to continue kissing. Be respectful of whatever she has to say.

TL;DR in Russian:

Немного поверните голову и наклонитесь ближе к ее лицу. Поцелуйте ее мягко, но уверенно. Прервите поцелуй через несколько секунд, а потом поцелуйте ее снова.


If she’s canceling plans with other guys to hang out with you, keep that in mind. If you notice she's not as quick to talk about her latest beau either, chances are she views you as more than a friend and wants to be in a relationship.  This is particularly true if she has talked about other guy crushes in the past, but suddenly changes the subject if you mention them. When she stops viewing you as one of the girls and refuses to share anything about her love life, you can rest assured that the feelings are mutual. In the past, you used to be able to get her take on your love life. Now she seems to blow up at the mere mention of another woman. If this happens, it’s probably safe to assume that she wants to be your only leading lady. She may tease you about past relationships, but if you mention someone you currently like, it may not go over well. Past relationships may be her way of teasing you, but mentioning a recent crush will ensure she won’t be smiling for long. In the past, you were more likely to hang out in a group setting. Now that she keeps asking to spend time alone with you, this may be a clue she’s into you. If you're being consistently invited to places that her past boyfriends accompanied her to, such as weddings or dances, you should probably have a discussion about whether you’re more than friends. If she's a good friend, she will appreciate your honesty. Though it may be awkward at first, you'll ultimately feel relieved once you've been honest.  Tell her how you feel. While it could be awkward and you may feel extremely nervous about revealing your feelings to her, you'll be glad you did it. It's much better to say something than to not say anything at all.  You may notice a look of relief on her face when you share your feelings with her. If she lights up when you tell her about your feelings, it is probable that she feels the same way. Begin the conversation by telling her how much you respect your friendship with her and that you've recently been having feelings that are beyond that of a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обратите внимание, отменяет ли она планы с другими парнями. Следите за признаками гнева, когда говорите о других девушках. Следите за тем, не предлагает ли она провести время вдвоем. Понаблюдайте за ее реакцией, когда будете признаваться, что она вам нравится.


If she’s fighting with her parents, stressed out about a test, or otherwise has a lot on her plate, she’s not going to be receptive. Set yourself up for success and ask her out when things are less hectic. Maybe you’re having lunch with her or chatting after school or work. If everything seems to be going well and she’s in good spirits, give it a shot! Before you go for it, think of a rough script to help you avoid getting tongue-tied. Try practicing in the mirror or jot down what you want to say to her. You don’t want to come off as robotic or over-rehearsed, but have an idea of what you want to say ahead of time. Get to the point! Sometimes you have to be bold and express exactly what you want. Take a deep breath, do your best to stay cool, and tell her that you like her and would like to go out with her.  For instance, you could say, “I think you're really cool, and it'd be fun to to hang out together more. What do you think about grabbing some food and seeing a movie this weekend?” While you should be honest, don’t go overboard and confess your deep love for her or say you can't live without her. Keep things low-key; just let her know you like her, enjoy spending time with her, and want to get to know her better. If she’s not interested, show her respect and handle rejection gracefully. Tell yourself, “I gave it a shot, and it's okay if she's not right for me. There are plenty of girls out there!” It may feel like she’s the only one for you now, and it's okay to be sad, but remind yourself that these feelings will go away in time.  If you're down in the dumps, try listening to music, exercising, or doing an activity you enjoy. Talking to a friend or relative can also help you blow off steam. Sometimes 2 people just don’t click. That doesn’t say anything about who you are as a person. Maybe she has a particular type, or maybe she just has a lot going on in her life right now. In any case, if the answer is no, do your best to be chill about it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите спокойное время и место для приглашения. Потренируйтесь перед зеркалом. Говорите прямо и открыто, но спокойно и беззаботно. Не принимайте отказ на свой счет.


If simple coping mechanisms prove ineffective in dealing with your feelings of anger and fail to stop you from reacting angrily, your problem may not be something you can fix on your own. A plethora of books and websites provide techniques for controlling your anger, but you may find you need additional, face-to-face assistance when it comes to coping with your anger. Anger management is not a problem from which you alone suffer. There are likely many groups in your area that can provide you with support in dealing with your anger issues. Research and identify the types of groups that you feel will be the most beneficial for you. Sometimes these groups are composed of regular people like yourself who have problems controlling their anger. Others are headed by licensed professionals. Some of the groups are free and open to the public while others are fee-based and exclusive to certain members of the community. Find a group that is right for you. Searching online, consulting with a doctor or asking a friend or colleague who has had similar issues are all great ways to help you identify legitimate anger management resources in your area. Coming together with individuals who suffer from the same anger management problems as you will provide you with tangible methods for coping with your anger. These groups can also provide a safe place for you to express your feelings of anger in a nurturing and understanding environment. Finally, the support of a group can help you devise and stick to an anger management routine or plan. Anger management sessions provide specific techniques or ways of thinking that help you minimize and control your anger. While books and online resources provide general solutions for anger management, these sessions can help you develop and tailor an anger management routine that is specific for your needs. Even after you have seen some improvement in dealing with your anger issues, it is possible to relapse and fall back into to negative patterns of behavior or thinking. That is why it is...

TL;DR in Russian:

Осознайте, что некоторым людям необходима помощь в контроле своего гнева. Найдите в своем районе группы по управлению гневом. Посещайте курсы по управлению гневом. Продолжайте посещать группы поддержки. Выполняйте то, чему вы научились на своих занятиях по управлению гневом. Помогите другим с их проблемами.


If simple moisturizing doesn’t improve your itchy feet, visit your doctor. They can prescribe a steroid cream that can be very effective in improving itchiness. Topical steroids (those you rub on your skin) can also improve redness and many rashes, including very itchy blisters from a condition called pompholyx (an allergic reaction). Most often, itchy feet are caused by a benign condition. Sometimes, however, itchy feet can be a symptom of a more serious problem. If you try self-treatment at home that doesn’t resolve your problem within two weeks, see your doctor. Rarely, itchy feet can be an indication of an underlying condition. Scabies are small mites that burrow into your skin, causing severe itching that’s especially bad at night. Suspect a scabies infection if multiple people in your household have developed similar symptoms of severe itchiness, or if you have small blisters or burrow-marks in your skin. Visit your doctor for medication like 5% Permethrin cream, Lindane, Crotamiton, or Ivermectin.  Look for rashes on other parts of your body – not just your feet. Scabies will also usually show up in the armpits or groin. Wash all the clothing, bedding, and linens in your home in hot, soapy water, then dry on high heat. This can help prevent reinfection.

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте крем с кортикостероидами, который назначит вам врач. Врач должен поставить точный диагноз. Вылечите чесотку.


If small clumps of algae form but do not spread to the rest of the pool, you may have areas of stagnant water. Check that your water jets are functioning properly. They should point into the water at an angle, so the water moves in a spiral pattern. A flocculant or coagulant clumps the algae together, making it possible to vacuum living algae. This may take a hard day of work, but your pool should be clear by the end of it. This is the fastest way to get your pool looking good, but it does not make the water safe to swim in. If algae can multiply, so can viruses and bacteria. Follow this with a chlorine shock treatment to sanitize the pool, and do not swim in the pool until chlorine and pH levels are back to normal. Algaecide will certainly kill your algae, but the side effects and expense may not be worth it. Here are a few factors to weigh when considering this option:  Some algaecide products are not powerful enough to treat an existing bloom, especially if you have black algae as well. Ask a pool store employee for help, or find a product with 30%+ active ingredients. Quaternary ammonia algaecides ("poly quats") are cheap, but cause your water to foam. Many people find this annoying. Copper-based algaecides are more effective, but expensive. They usually stain your pool walls as well. After adding the algaecide, wait at least 24 hours before adding other chemicals.

TL;DR in Russian:

Улучшите циркуляцию воды, чтобы справиться с небольшим количеством водорослей. Соберите водоросли с помощью флокулянта. Обработайте воду альгицидом.


If so, clean the keys with great caution. Although removing the yellowing will make your piano look better, it may destroy the piano's value. If you're unsure, consult an expert before treating the keys in any way. Ivory keys and plastic keys require different kinds of care. Ivory can absorb moisture and chemicals, which can discolor and damage it. While cleaning your ivory keys, you'll want to avoid getting oil or dirt from your hands on them.  White gloves are best because colored gloves could transfer color to the keys.

TL;DR in Russian:

Узнайте возраст фортепиано. Не используйте мыло и химические средства. Наденьте белые перчатки, желательно из хлопка.


If soda has spilled inside your car’s plastic cup holders, buy a cleaner specify formulated for the plastic insides of your car. Spray this cleaner into the cup holders, then scrub at the soda stain with a toothbrush. After scrubbing, stuff paper towels or a clean rag into the cup holder and wipe away the cleaner and stain.  If you can’t find a car cleaner, use an all-purpose cleaning spray, a 1/1 solution of white vinegar and water, or soapy water.  If the stain is particularly large or old, you may have to repeat this process several times to completely remove the stain. Use baby wipes or cleaning wipes to spot clean the inside of sticky cup holders. This is a good step to take if you have already done an initial cleaning but are left with individual trouble spots in your cup holders. To clean, rub the baby wipe or cleaning wipe on the stain until it has been rubbed away. If you have spilled your soda onto the plastic sidings of the car or the car door, use ammonia-free glass cleaner to remove the stain. Spray a few sprays of the glass cleaner onto a clean rag or paper towel, then wipe away the stain. Don’t use glass cleaner with ammonia, as this can bleach the plastic.

TL;DR in Russian:

Очистите подстаканники с помощью чистящего спрея и зубной щетки. Очистите подстаканники детскими салфетками. Очистите пластиковую обшивку салона средством для чистки стекла.


If someone asks or tells you to do something, you have the choice to say yes, no, or maybe. You don’t have to say yes, even if you feel like you do. When someone asks you something, take a moment and remember that how you respond is your choice. For example, if someone asks you to stay late on a project, tell yourself, “I have the choice to say yes and stay or to go home and say no.” " If you tend to always say “yes” to things even when you don’t want to or when situations cause you stress, start saying “no.” It might take some practice, but let people know when you can’t do what they want. There’s no need to make excuses or talk your way out of it. A simple “no” or “no thank you” will do.  Start small by finding something small to say "no" to and say it firmly. For example, if your partner asks you to walk the dog yet you are exhausted, say, “No. I’d like you to walk the dog tonight, please.” You can also do some role play with a friend to get used to saying “no.” Have your friend ask you to do things, and then respond “no” to each of their requests. Make sure to pay attention to how you feel each time you say “no.” If a flat “no” seems harsh to you, be assertive while also being empathetic. Show your understanding for the person and their needs, yet also be firm in saying that you cannot help them. For example, say, “I know how much you want a nice birthday cake for the party and how much that means to you. I’d love to provide one, but I’m unable to do that at the moment.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Помните, что у вас есть выбор. Научитесь правильно говорить «нет». Будьте настойчивым и чутким.


If someone dislikes you, there are often times you can overlook it and go on with your life. Sometimes, however, a person's negative feelings for you might affect your grades, your job, or your ability to meet and get along with other people. In these situations, it might be time to confront the person who dislikes you:  If the person is discriminating against you or treating you unfairly and is in a position of power over you (such as a teacher, boss, or parent), you may decide that it is time to talk to the person or take legal action. If the person is spreading rumors, hurting your reputation, or making your life difficult, you may need to talk to them to find out if there is a way to convince them to stop. If the person is sabotaging your relationships, you may need to confront them as well as the people he or she has interfered with. For example, if you have a father-in-law who does not like you, he may be causing other people to dislike you, possibly even including your own spouse. If the person who dislikes you is abusing you in any way, including physically, sexually, emotionally, or psychologically, it is time to get help. It is normal for people to dislike other people, but it is never ok for dislike to turn into mistreatment or abuse. This might be awkward, but sometimes the only way to know what is going on or why someone has a problem with you is to have an open conversation with her. If you can't figure out why you are disliked and you've tried asking a friend for help, consider confronting the person directly.  Try to frame your discussion using "I-phrases." "I-phrases" focus on the speaker's feelings instead of presuming to know what the other person is feeling. Using "I-phrases" helps to keep the other person from becoming defensive. That means instead of saying "Why don't you like me?" keep the focus on your own feelings and say something like "I feel like there is some tension between us. Is there anything I have done or anything I can do to help?" Listen to what the person says, and try to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Решите, когда вам стоит поговорить с человеком. Задайте человеку прямой вопрос. Извинитесь и загладьте свою вину. Обратитесь в вышестоящие органы. Научитесь отпускать ситуации.


If someone interrupts you during a trick, or tries to shout out answers of guesses to how the trick is done, they want to appear cooler than you. There are several ways to deal with this type of heckler, and you should decide which to use depending on your personal preferences and the exact situation. Here's the method which requires the least adjustment to your act: Ignore them until they get bored. If they aren't getting attention, they may give up. If they persist, address remarks to the audience, not the heckler. Use indirect remarks such as "Does anyone hear a bird calling?" An audience member may be motivated to help kick the heckler out, without you having to interrupt your performance. If you need a volunteer, call them up. If you don't, try to keep a quick conversation going while drawing audience attention back to yourself. Make comments like "I can see you're clever, which is why I'm going to reward you with your very own bent spoon." It may look great when you see a professional entertainer insult a heckler, but it takes experience and confidence to do it properly. As an amateur, only resort to this as a last resort, or if the show is going to end soon anyway.  Keep the crowd on your side by not escalating the confrontation until the heckler does. When you have a crowd on your side, you have a lot more leeway in what you can say to someone, but it's still a good idea to keep your insults silly and joking. Pretend to read them off the underside of your prop, or find another way to make it still look like part of the performance. Some people will focus on your hands no matter what, trying to figure out how the trick is done. The best defense against this is to perform tricks you know extremely well, that you're confident you can do even under scrutiny. If someone does notice something and reveals it to the rest of the audience, quickly perform a more spectacular trick with the same prop to regain their awe. If a volunteer starts examining a prop thoroughly, or moving out of position during a trick,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Игнорируйте людей, которые пытаются отвлечь внимание толпы. Если это не сработает, включите их в выступление таким образом, чтобы не прекращать его. Оскорбляйте или смущайте их только в крайнем случае. Выполняйте ваши лучшие трюки для того, чтобы обмануть людей, которые следят за вашими руками. Держите любопытных членов аудитории под контролем. Подберите правильного добровольца. Если ничего не помогает, то соберитесь и идите дальше.


If someone is asking for your opinion it means they value you. Use that knowledge to produce a genuine smile. This will make the sting of disapproval seem less personal. This gives you an opportunity to hear their point of view. It also gives you time to carefully word your comments. This will also give you a measurement of how much they like, or dislike the outfit or style. They may even discuss their own reservations. Assume that the person under the outfit is beautiful. The outfit or style is just hiding that fact. Try to critique the outfit or style apart from any negative characteristics of the person. Appeal to any mutually-agreed-upon standard of dress to back up your opinion if you can. For example, use business dress standards if a new haircut, tattoo, or nail polish could cause them trouble at work. Use goodness of fit to highlight how the outfit would look better if it were better tailored. Expressing any disagreement may prompt self-deprecating statements (e.g., "I'm just too fat for this outfit..."). Do not agree with them. Even if you believe they are correct, some things do not need to be said. Be honest with yourself--you aren't trying to hurt their feelings, right?  In situations like this, you might want to disagree outright with the negative statement. "You aren't fat, this dress just fails to highlight how beautiful you are." Unfortunately, if you fail to disagree with a negative statement the speaker may take that as an admission of your agreement. Be quick to disagree when you know this to be true. This allows you to be productive in two ways. First you offer alternatives for them to try. Second it provides avenues for you to shower them with complements. This shows them you value them in spite of the negative feedback you just offered. At this stage, always be sure to include references to their positive characteristics. Although you avoided referencing personal characteristics before, highlight positive aspects now.

TL;DR in Russian:

Искренне улыбайтесь, чтобы выразить свое уважение. Спросите человека, что ему нравится в его одежде или образе в целом. Комментируйте сам образ, а не человека. Не поддерживайте негативные высказывания человека в свой адрес. Предложите другие варианты.


If someone is bothering you and you want them to stop, there's a super simple way of handling it: tell them stuff that you have new. If someone is getting in your face with antagonizing or bullying behavior, put your hand out like a crossing guard in the "stop" motion. Take a deep breath. In a calm, even voice, say something like, "Stop! I need you to stop right now."  If telling a bully to stop doesn't get them out of your face, continue repeating the phrase. If they fail to get a rise out of you, most bullies won't be entertained enough to keep on with it. After failing enough times to provoke you, most bullies might just leave you alone.  If a bully escalates things after you tell them to stop, it's not inappropriate to tell someone, a teacher, parent, or a superior in the office. Get someone else on your side. The best way to defeat any enemy is to get them out of your life completely. Avoid enemies as much as possible to disarm them and steal their ability to offend, torment, and irritate you. If you're struggling with a bully, use your observational skills to steer clear of their haunts and spend time in other places. Don't give them the opportunity to antagonize you. If you've got to see your enemy on a regular basis, like at work or school, and you're forced to interact with them, your job will be tougher, but not impossible. The best way to avoid these enemies is to avoid listening to them. Put in earbuds when your enemy's spouting off in the school, so you won't have to listen to it, or show up right before the bell rings in class and sit on the opposite side of the classroom. It'll be like they're not even there. When your enemy confronts you, the best tactic is to turn into the ice man. Play it cool. Real cool. Don't get upset, or try to argue back when your enemy launches into their irritating, bullying behavior. Just look at them like you would an irritating swarm of ants, or your cat's puke. A minor inconvenience. Emotional reactions are like water for the plants of enemies. Withhold it and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Скажите врагу перестать противодействовать вам. Избегайте врага как можно больше. Будьте хладнокровны. Избавьтесь от своего врага. Найдите безопасность в группе. Продвигайтесь дальше. Пустите врагу пыль в глаза.


If someone is clearly only using you for sex, you should not keep reaching out to them. If more of a relationship was going to develop, it would have by now. Once you realize you're not getting what you want from a situation, stop contacting the person in question.  Do not see the person at social events, text him, or call him. If you feel the temptation to reach out to him, do something for yourself or hang out with another friend. You might make an agreement with another friend that whenever you feel tempted to contact him, you contact your friend instead. In some cases, it's not possible to completely cut someone off. If you work or go to school with the guy, for example, you may need to see him. If this is the case, keep interactions short and to the point. Do not engage in small talk. If a guy is using  you for sex, he may text or call late at night. You may get a text message at 1 AM, for example, asking if you're still awake. This is a sign the guy wants to come over for sex. Do not answer these texts. It will only prolong the situation, resulting in you getting hurt more. Start simply ignoring this kind of contact.  If the guy keeps sending these types of texts after you've ignored them for a while, text him something like, "I don't want this kind of relationship anymore. Please stop texting me." When someone is used to a certain behavior and getting a certain reward and this suddenly stops working, they will often try harder for a time before giving up. Stand firm. They will eventually move on. The social media connection can be difficult to sever. Oftentimes, we hang on to past lovers via things like Facebook and Twitter; however, research indicates checking up on someone online will only prolong your anguish. Block or delete him on social media profiles, or at least unfollow him.  Sometimes, it's very tempting to check an ex's social media; however, doing so will not result in you feeling better, so do your best to not indulge in the practice. Each time you are tempted to click on his profile,...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не пытайтесь связаться с ним. Не отвечайте на поздние сообщения и звонки. Не общайтесь в социальных сетях.
