Problem: Article: If your parents are hesitant about how you want to dress and revealing it to other people, discuss and agree on certain places or occasions you can wear girls' clothing. Find a compromise with your parents, like being able to wear girls' clothes after school but not at school or church. Or decide on special occasions that you can wear female clothes for. Your parents may just need to get used to your new wardrobe in small amounts before they let you wear it all the time, so be patient and agree to let them set some limits at first. Come to an agreement about the clothing your parents will feel comfortable with you wearing. Try more androgynous (gender-neutral) clothing or mixing boys' and girls' clothes together in the same outfit to ease them into the idea of dressing in more girls' clothes. Try asking for or buying boys' jeans and tops in a slimmer and tighter fit for a more feminine look. Or add girls' accessories or a few key clothing items to a typical boys' outfit. Invite your parents to come with you to the mall or stores where you'd like to buy girls' clothing. Offer to let them help you make decisions and be involved in the whole process. If they won't go to the store with you, show them pictures of what you want to buy or the kind of outfit you might like to wear to get their approval beforehand. You might even ask a parent who identifies or dresses as female if you can borrow some of their clothes or get tips on dressing from them. Being more involved in your decision or transition may help them to become more accepting of it. If you want to add makeup, jewelry, and other typically feminine accessories, discuss these with your parents, too. Talk about what they're okay with you buying and wearing. Come up with compromises for these things, too. Maybe your parents will allow you to wear just makeup and not girls' clothes yet. Or you can agree with them on how much makeup you wear and when you can wear it.
Summary: Agree to wear girls' clothes at certain times. Compromise on the type of clothes you can wear. Take them shopping with you. Discuss makeup and accessories.

Problem: Article: If you take medicine for nausea caused by turbulence, take it about an hour before you board and keep it within reach in case you need in during the flight. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly, and ask your doctor about any side effects that might make the flight more difficult for you. As soon as you sit down, find the motion sickness bag and move it somewhere you can access easily in case of emergency. Practice opening it so you'll know how to do it quickly just in case. Nausea can be brought on or aggravated by food you aren't used to. If you know you struggle with in-flight nausea, bring your own food so airline food doesn't make it worse. Avoid spices, dairy, and anything that triggers nausea for you. Some foods like soups or sauces may not be allowed through security. Ask airport staff before you arrive, or consider buying food from the grocery section in airport stores. The dry air inside an airplane can cause dehydration, which is a major contributing factor for nausea. Be sure to drink enough water to stay hydrated--about one regular-size bottle for every three hours of flight will be enough for most people. Caffeine and alcohol can both aggravate nausea, so try to avoid them on your flight. If you do have a coffee or a beer, sip them slowly to avoid upsetting your stomach.
Summary: Take nausea medicine before your flight. Keep the motion sickness bag handy. Bring your own food. Drink lots of water. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Problem: Article: Take your burner grates off of the stove and place them in the sink. Then, fill the sink with hot, soapy water. Let your burner grates soak for several minutes, then clean them off with a wet sponge or dishcloth. Place your burner caps in the water as well and wash them in the hot, soapy water. After all of the crumbs are brushed away, spray your stovetop with a spray bottle filled with a 1:1 water-white vinegar ratio. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then wipe it off with a wet sponge or dishcloth. After wiping off any crumbs and stains from the stovetop, dry off burner grates and caps. Place the grates and caps back in place to reassemble the stove and make it ready for use again. Wipe off the stove knobs and back panel with a wet washcloth to remove any dust or minor stains. If there are larger food stains on your knobs or panels, spray them with the vinegar-water mixture and let it sit for several minutes before wiping them off again.
Summary: Remove your stove's burner grates and clean them separately. Brush any crumbs off of the stovetop with a dry cloth. Put the grates and burner caps back on. Clean the stove knobs and back panels, if needed.

Problem: Article: This is usually a good way to gauge your relationship without the pressure of an intimate date. If you're having a get together with friends or going out to a club, ask her along or have a friend invite her. This way you can see each other in a social setting. Does she spend time with you? Do you have fun together? Trying to fake someone into liking you is a sure-fire way to start a failing relationship. You have to have confidence in who you are. If she doesn't like that, then you would not have made a very happy couple anyway. Feel more confident by focusing less on yourself and more on her. Someone on the outside can give you valuable perspective on her feelings for you, and give some advice on how to proceed. Find a friend you trust and confide in them to see how they see things. Do they think you would make a good couple? Do they think the feelings are mutual? How would they talk to her about your feelings? This can be a "practice round," helping you sort out your feelings. Does she make eye contact, hug or touch you, lean in when you talk, or sit next to you whenever possible? These are all good signs that she may have similar feelings. Closing her body off by folding her arms, avoiding eye-contact, or making excuses not to talk are often signs that she is not interested.
Summary:
Ask her on a "casual date" with other friends or a group of people. Be yourself, even if you are shy. Ask a mutual friend for advice. Note her body language around you.
