Article: If you were close before the guy developed feelings, you probably want to maintain that friendship. However, sometimes guys feel you will eventually come around if they stay friends with you. If you want to remain friends, make it very clear that you only want that. Say something like, "I want to stay friends, but only friends. I don't want you harboring false hope I'm going to come around and see you romantically." If the guy does not seem to be getting the hint, you may have to lessen contact or become more casual friends. At first, the guy may be hurt at the rejection. The two of you may want to reduce contact for a set period of time. This way, he can have time to cope with his feelings of rejection. Being around you too much after being rejected may make it hard for him to move on. Some guys may not take the hint. Even if you think you've been clear, you may find some men still ask you out or flirt with you. If necessary, remind them on occasion. Say something like, "We talked about this. I just want to be friends." If a guy does not leave you alone after you reject him, cut off contact. It's not appropriate to keep badgering someone for a romance if they've made it clear they're not interested. Stop returning texts and phone calls and get rid of him on social media.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be careful about being friends. Lessen contact for a while. Repeat your rejection if necessary. Ignore him if he keeps pressuring you for a romance.

On Mac, you can update your Mac by click System Preferences in the Apple Menu, and then clicking Software Update. On older versions of MacOS, you can update your Mac in the App Store. If your computer has been infected by malware, you may receive a lot of pop-ups and advertisements. Do not download any software advertised through a pop-up, even if it's advertising antivirus or antimalware software. Always download software from trusted websites. If you see new toolbar items, browser extensions, or icons you don't remember installing, your computer may be infected by malware. If your web browser is changing your home page or redirecting you to unexpected pages while browsing the internet, your computer may be infected with malware. Most malware will run tasks in the background that consume a higher percentage of your computer's resources. If your computer is running slow, even without any other programs running, your computer may be infected with malware. Some malware has the ability to temporarily disable the antivirus software and firewalls on your computer without your consent. Check if your antivirus software and firewall software are running. Some malware will corrupt or delete certain files that are required for your computer to run efficiently. If your operating system or certain applications freeze, run slowly, or crash randomly and unexpectedly, you may have malware on your machine. In some cases, malware infections will prevent you from being able to use your mouse, printer, and keyboard, and could even disable certain features. If you are unable to use normal functions on your computer, your computer may be infected with malware. Sometimes malware will corrupt your computer and cause it to display strange or unusual error messages when you try to use or access certain programs. Frequent error messages can indicate that your computer is infected with malware. If you notice strange email messages in your outbox that you did not compose, or posts and direct messages in your social media accounts that you did not personally send, then your system may have been infected with malware.

Article: You can use the base of a cocktail shaker, a highball glass, or any other clear glass. You only need the glass to mix the juice. It is not the glass you will be drinking out of. A bar spoon is a special utensil with a long shaft, specially created for stirring cocktails. Hold the spoon near the top of the twisted section with your thumb and first two fingers. Sink the spoon into your glass, near the side but not touching it. Twirl the shaft, moving both back and forth and up and down. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds. Chill the glass beforehand by keeping it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, or by storing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Go slowly and carefully to avoid spilling any of the drink. Do not shake or stir the soda water, since doing so may cause it to go flat. Instead, allow the liquids to combine lightly and naturally. Soda water is another great way to water down the bitterness of an extremely sour juice.
