Summarize the following:
This may feel foreign at first, but give it a go and see just how the conversation opens up dramatically. Here are some thought-provoking questions to inspire more conversation: Given all you have accomplished so far, what do you think has been the most important to you/beneficial to your community? If you could be rich, famous, or influential, which would you choose and why? Is this the best time of your life? If you could only own 10 things, what would they be? If you had to choose only five foods and two drinks for the rest of your life, what would they be? Do you believe people make happiness or stumble across it? What would you do if you could wear an invisibility cloak? Do you believe in free will? What sort of animal do you think you would be if someone could change you into one? Who is your favorite superhero and why? Which five people out of all history would you choose to invite to an intimate dinner party at your house? If you won a few million in the lottery tomorrow, how would you spend it? If you could be famous for a week, what would you be known for? (Or which celebrity would you choose to be?) Do you still believe in Santa? Could you live without the internet? What's your dream vacation? Return to these "winning" conversation tactics time and time again as long as they continue to work for you. Equally, remember the topics that seem to make people feel uncomfortable or bored and avoid these in the future. Dig around into what's going on in the world and try asking your conversation partner his thoughts about the latest big incident in the news (remember though, in most cases it is best to avoid politics). Keep in mind funny new stories that could get you a laugh as well as remind your conversation partner of funny news stories he has read recently. Coming up with good conversation topics is part of what makes for good conversation, but how you convey the topics of conversation that you do come up with matters also. Be sure to get to the point of the topic without meandering about aimlessly. Try to not digress into tangents as you are bringing up a conversation topic or you risk losing your conversation partner's attention!

summary: Spark a new direction with hypotheticals. Keep a note of what gets good responses in your conversations. Read up on current events. Practice conciseness.

Summarize the following:
It doesn't matter how busy you are if you want to have a girlfriend you have to be willing to spend time with her. The relationship can't grow if you're never with her. Even if there are days when you aren't able to figure out a time to be with her, let her know that you wish you were together. If you do this all the time it will bother her, but if she's away on vacation with her family or doing something for work you can let her know you're thinking about her. This will make her feeling wanted. For example, text her and tell her that you miss her. It's not all about how busy you are. Let her know that you're willing to spend time with her anytime, anywhere. Maybe you're only meeting for 30 minutes during lunch, or maybe you can only spend time with her while she's also around her parents. If you really like her and you want her to like you more, being open to anything is important. It will show that you want to be around her no matter what.

summary: Find time in your schedule to be with her. Let her know you're thinking about her even when you aren't together. Be flexible and willing to fit into her schedule.

Summarize the following:
While the elements of the routine stay the same (eat, play, sleep, in that order), the length of the elements and the strategies you might use will vary as your child becomes more aware, interactive, and alert during the day and more conscious of your absence at night. At 6 months old, most babies should not need a nighttime feeding, especially if he/she is eating solid food during the day. When your baby begins to sleep through the night, you can stretch the period of activity to 2 to 2.5 hours of playtime between naps. There will also be times when you may need to be flexible with the schedule, such as vacations or when you need to run errands that take longer than 2 hours. During nap or bedtime, babies of this age often "talk" to themselves or babble, or cry out of tiredness to help themselves fall asleep. It's important that you don't rush to her before she has had a chance to settle in for sleep. Listen to the sound of the cry. The most common signal that she wants to be comforted is your child holding out her hands to you. When you pick her up, hold her in a horizontal position and say soothing words before placing her back in the crib. If she gets more upset, walk away from her crib and avoid eye contact. You may be a distraction. At this age, your baby has become more aware of your absence and may benefit from an item that can help comfort and sooth her to sleep, such as a small, soft blanket or favorite sleep-safe toy. If possible, try to use the same object at every nap and bedtime, and try to keep the toy or blanket in the bed only. This way, the baby will learn to associate the transitional item with sleep and not with playtime, and will be more likely to use it to sooth herself to sleep rather than playing in the bed.
summary: Adjust the routine as your baby grows. Watch for your baby's cues before you pick her up. Introduce a transitional item.
