Q: When you are in a group of people, don't jump into the conversation right away. Wait until you are introduced, then you can join the conversation a little bit at a time. You still don't want to be over exuberant, just talk to one or two people at a time. Make sure your body language doesn't seem closed off. You want to seem open to intimate conversation but not overly interested in every detail of each conversation. This is true for the kinds of activities you undertake as well. Avoid loud parties or large clubs. Being coy means hanging on the sidelines, trying not to be noticed. You want instead to attend small, intimate gatherings. Whether it is at work with your colleagues or with people you don't know, you should keep to yourself. Don't divulge unnecessary information to people at work or tell them about your personal problems. If you are around your closest friends, feel free to talk about how your boyfriend dumped you or the problems you are having house training your new puppy. If you just met someone, however, keep your distance and keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You want to feel out how people are and how they act in order to know what kind of person they are before you try to instigate a friendship. You should also try to avoid over sharing when asked questions. You don't want to divulge information about yourself to random people. Once you get to know someone, then you can start telling them more intimate details about yourself. When you are trying to be coy, you don't want to be the center of attention. This goes for attitude and dress. You shouldn't wear clothes that try to grab the attention of those around you or put you in the center of the action. It is harder to make close friendships if you are constantly surrounded by tons of people. If you try to stick to the sidelines, those people that do notice you will be more likely to be interested in getting to know you for who you are. If you are typically on the outskirts, listen to those around you. Take in the information that others divulge Try to ease into new relationships, listening to what they say in order to get to know them better. Once they become more than just an acquaintance, you can open up around them and limit your coy, shy behavior when they are around.
A: Stay aloof. Be private. Avoid being the center of attention. Listen.

Q: To find an appropriate name, start by listing the character's qualities, from most- to least-dominant. Ideally, your character's name should sound at some level fitting to who they are, so keep this list on hand to help you decide between potential names. Once you have your list of qualities, start doing some research into what historical, mythical, or literary figures have been closely associated with some or all of the character's dominant qualities. Look into not only the history, myths, and literature of your own culture but of others as well. Try to look into cultures that have some form of connection to the characters, places, or events of your story. When you've found an element that relates to your character, take inspiration from that element in naming the character. Try not to be overly obvious. If your inspiration is relatively familiar or well-known, avoid naming your character overtly after whatever historical, mythical, or literary element you've chosen. So, for example, don't name a character modeled after Gandolf "Dolf" or "Randolf" or something equally derivative. Take inspiration from more subtle associations, or create a name that's more inventively tied to its inspiration. For example, you might name your character after a little-known monster from Norse mythology. Or you might use a word from another language that evokes an important quality in the character. But try to avoid commonly recognizable foreign-language words, like "Belle" or "Loco."
A: List your character's qualities. Research those qualities. Make creative references.

Q: This method is intended for plain sterling silver chains that do not contain gems or stones. Ensure the dish or bowl is heat-safe and that it is deep enough to hold a few inches of water. The aluminum foil is essential for the chemical reaction. Alternatively, you can use an aluminum pie plate. Fill a small pot with 1 cup (240ml) of water. Bring it to a rolling boil, then add 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (14 g) of baking soda to the pot. The solution will bubble and froth. Adjust the amounts if necessary so you can completely cover the necklace in bottom of the dish: use 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (14 g) of baking soda per 1 cup (240ml) of water. Take care not to burn yourself when pouring the boiling water into the dish. The amount of time you let it soak depends on how dirty or tarnished the silver is. Watch the change in the necklace itself due to the chemical reaction so you will know when it's clean. Letting the necklace soak longer than this can lead to tarnish, so remove the necklace after 10 minutes. Use tongs or a fork to remove the necklace so you don't burn your hands. You don't need to rinse the necklace, just lay it out on a soft cloth to dry. The dirt and tarnish should be gone and your necklace will look like new!
A: Line a heat-safe dish with aluminum foil and place the necklace on top. Add 1 tbsp (14 g) of baking soda to 1 cup (240ml) of boiling water. Pour the solution over the necklace and let it soak for 2 to 10 minutes. Remove the necklace and let it dry on a soft cloth.

Q: If you want to seduce someone, do not be shy. Take the initiative to make the initial eye contact. This displays confidence, which many people find attractive. People tend to be interested in those who are interested in them. If you're making the effort to meet someone's gaze from across the room, this will intrigue them. Try to make eye contact first rather than waiting to be noticed. Look for cues that another person may be interested in you. Use this an opportunity to make initial eye contact. Cues can be subtle, like someone giving a quick glance in your direction. Women may sometimes run their fingers through their hair to convey attraction. If you're shy, start things off with a couple of brief glances. A double take definitely conveys interest. Try glances at someone briefly, looking away, and then glancing again. This can show a potential partner that you're attracted to them and want their attention. In addition to making direct eye contact, watching someone from the corner of your eyes can be helpful. If you've not yet had an opportunity to start a conversation, simply watch someone from the corner of your eyes for a few minutes. Spend 5 or 10 minutes side eyeing someone you find attractive. Be cool and do make it too obvious. See if this person is looking at you as well. It can help to side eye someone while laughing at something a friend said. Laughter is infectious and can be attractive to someone you're trying to seduce. A warm smile is conveyed by your eyes as well as your mouth. If someone meets your gaze from across the room, smile. A genuine smile can show someone you're friendly and would not mind being approached. Hold a person's gaze for a few moments and then offer a smile. Use your body to convey confidence in addition to your eyes. Matching a confident gaze with a confident helps bolster attraction. Keep your body relaxed and comfortable. Try to avoid tensing muscles. Stand up straight with your shoulders back slightly.
A:
Take the initiative to make eye contact. Start with a couple of brief glances. Watch someone from the corner of your eyes. Smile. Match eye contact with confident body language.
