INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first step to setting healthy boundaries is being aware of your own needs in a relationship. Everyone has certain rights going into a relationship or friendship. Identify what your rights are so you can decide whether or not a fake friend is worth your time. What makes you feel comfortable in a relationship? What do you look for when seeking out a friend? Is it shared interests, kindness, compassion? Does this person meet those qualities? Does this person violate your boundaries? Are they not concerned with you and your emotional wellbeing? You may need someone in your life capable of more compassion than a fake friend. It's not always worth it to keep up with a fake friendship. It's okay to walk away if someone's behavior is becoming increasingly troublesome for you. Think about the effect this relationship has had on your self-esteem. Do you feel worse about yourself when you're around this person? Have you internalized some of their criticisms and complaints about you? Do you ever actually want to see this person anymore? You may be hanging out due to a sense of obligation. You may also find yourself feeling tense going into meetings with this person. If this is the case, this may be a fake friendship. If you've determined this friendship is not worth keeping, find a graceful way to end it. You should let this person know directly you no longer want him or her in your life. While it may feel cold, it may be easier to send a text or email. This can be especially helpful if the person in question is stressful to be around. You do not have to be caustic or lay out a list of grievances. A simple email should be sufficient. Try saying something like, "I'm sorry, but I don't think this friendship is really working for either one of us." Keep your emotions in check. Even if you're right to feel you were being treated poorly, blaming can escalate the situation. You want to get out with as clean a break as possible and avoid unnecessary drama and animosity. You may not need to end every fake friendship. If this is someone you have to see on occasion, cutting ties may not be realistic. You may have mutual friends, for example, or you may work together. Simply accept this is not someone you will see frequently one-on-one. Do not invite the person out to hang out with just you, or to attend smaller get-togethers. Keep him or her on the periphery of your life.

SUMMARY: Be aware of yourself and your needs. Decide whether the friendship is worth keeping. Figure out a graceful way to end a toxic friendship. Lessen contact with fake friends without terminating the relationship.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Inspire a girl's confidence in you by giving her your complete attention during a conversation. Make direct eye contact, nod and react while she is talking, and repeat things back to her to convey that you are listening. This will work to make you look charismatic and empathetic to her. For example, if she is telling you about her current project at work, interject with positive comments like, "I can imagine that involves a lot of commitment!" or "It sounds like you have great time management skills!" Women respond to humour and appreciate people who can make them laugh. Laughter may also reduce shyness or defensiveness and make her feel comfortable with you. Tell a joke, do an impression, or share a funny anecdote about yourself to make her feel happy and at ease. Bring up your skills and hobbies in a tactful way to impress her without seeming arrogant. Wait for the conversation to lead there naturally, or ask her about her interests or hidden talents to set up the topic. Interesting talents or pastimes will make you seem more intriguing and dynamic. "For instance, talk about your surfing skills by saying something like, "It's a fun and challenging activity. I've been devoting a lot of time and practice to getting better at it." Create a rapport by looking for connections between the two of you. Shared interests, hobbies, or experiences can forge a bond between people. Ask questions until she reveals an aspect of life that you share, then highlight that mutual connection. For instance, if she mentions a love of zombie movies, express your appreciation for the genre by telling her your own favorite films.

SUMMARY: Give her your full attention. Make her laugh. Talk about your skills without boasting. Establish connections with her.
