Article: The next time you're talking to your crush one-on-one, bite the bullet and tell him you like him. You might be buzzing with anxiety, but you'll feel so much better once you get it off your chest. To make your admission feel more organic, wait for an opportune moment to let the cat out of the bag, like after a bout of laughter or just before you take your leave. Broach the subject gracefully by opening with a line like, "I know we've only known each other for a few weeks, but I've become really attached to you in that time." Smiling or even giggling while making your feelings known will help break the tension and keep things from becoming awkward. Sometimes, it can be hard to work up the courage to tell a guy that you think he hung the moon face-to-face. In this case, a simple text message can make you feel a lot less self-conscious. Lay your cards on the table by saying something like, "Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I really like you," or be coy about your affections by saying something like "You're so funny! How are you still single?!" One advantage of sending a text is that you can read over and revise your message as many times as you want before sending it to make sure your wording is just right. Texting puts a little bit of safe distance between the two of you, which will allow you to express your interest without the fear of rejection getting in the way. Use Emojis to dress up your text and be more clear about your feelings toward him. If you're just too bashful to pour your heart out to him yourself, see if one of your mutual friends would be willing to act as a go-between. Doing so could encourage him to reach out to you first, especially if they're nice enough to put in a good word for you. If the two of you have friends in common, ask them to drop hints on your behalf: "I'm into Adam, but I'm too nervous to tell him. Think you could find out how he feels about me?" Assuming you don't know any of his friends, you may have to get creative. If you see him talking to one of his buddies at a party, you might arrange to run into the same friend later on and say, "Do you know that guy over there? He's super cute." Once you've made your feelings known, it will then be up to him to decide how to respond. Either way, you can rest easy knowing that you were confident and self-possessed enough to be honest with him. That's something to be proud of no matter how things turn out. Be prepared for whatever reaction you get. In the best case scenario, he'll confess that he has a thing for you, too. In the worst case, he'll let you down easy, or he might not know what to say at all.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be up front about how you feel. Send him a text if you're too shy to talk in person. Pass the word along through his friends if you don't know what to say. Leave the ball in his court.

Problem: Article: The easiest way to begin the initiation process is to contact your local Masonic, District or Provincial Lodge which is usually listed in the telephone book or it's probably easier to web search and say you are interested in membership. There are a few other ways to start the process depending in which part of the world you're applying to, it's probably best if you start locally. The process will start from there: Find a Freemason. Many Freemasons proudly display the Masonic symbol on bumper stickers, hats, and clothing or ring. They are happy to talk to people who wish to find out more information. Some jurisdictions require that potential members approach the brotherhood of their own accord, but others allow members to issue invitations. If you have been invited to become a Freemason by a known member, feel free to take the next steps. After your petition has been reviewed, you will be called to the Lodge for an interview with a group of Freemasons who form an Investigative Committee. You will be asked questions concerning your reasons for wanting to become a Freemason, your history, and your character. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about Freemasonry. The Investigative Committee will spend a week or two contacting references with regard to your character and conducting a backward check. Alcoholism, drug abuse, abuse of family, and other issues may be grounds for denial. In some countries, this investigative process can take years. The Lodge's members will vote on whether to accept you. If you are accepted, you will receive an invitation to become a member.
Summary: Contact your local Lodge. Accept an invitation to meet with the Freemasons.

Find someone you feel connected to and who you feel a strong connection with. It's difficult (though not impossible) to start a meaningful conversation with a stranger or acquaintance. It might feel more comfortable to start a meaningful conversation with someone you've known for a while or already have some closeness in your relationship. You might not want to start a meaningful conversation with someone who's often argumentative or focused on always being 'right'. Think about someone you can engage with and share both speaking and listening. A meaningful conversation will often occur within a context that makes it meaningful. While some meaningful conversations can happen spontaneously, others may require some planning. Especially if it's difficult to find time to meet up, choose a date and a time where both you and the other person can be present and fully engaged. For example, don't have the conversation when one or both of you have a time constraint. Avoid busy or stressful days so that each person feels comfortable and not preoccupied or stressed. When talking, you don't want to be interrupted by surrounding noise. You probably also don't want prying ears overhearing your conversation. Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed or interrupted. This might include somebody's home or a private meeting room. For example, a restaurant may not be ideal as you may be interrupted or overheard. Look for a place with minimal distractions. Consider turning off your phone or the television so that it doesn't interrupt your conversation. If your conversations are often scattered, disorganized, or tangential, you can pause to talk a moment to organize your thoughts. This helps keep the conversation on track, and can give you a confidence boost as well! If you know you're going to have a difficult conversation and want to prepare well in advance, you can also try writing down what you want to say to organize your thoughts! Put some effort into starting the conversation, especially if it's a difficult topic. Decide on how you will start the conversation and what words you will say. Whether you enjoy it or not, small talk can help to open a conversation and make people feel more comfortable. Starting a conversation with something deep might be jarring or unexpected, so warm up with some small talk first. When you and the other person appear comfortable, bring up a more substantial topic. For example, ask how the person's day is going or briefly talk about the weather.
