In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After you are comfortable with the girl and developed your friendship, try to initiate flirting with her to see if she's interested. Lean in while you're talking to her while maintaining eye contact and smiling. Playfully tease her or make and make her laugh so you can bond with one another. As you flirt, she may mimic your movements and lean closer to you as well to show that she likes you. Don't tease too much since you may come across as insensitive. If the girl doesn't seem responsive to flirting or she doesn't flirt back, she may not be interested in a relationship. You can also flirt over text if you aren't together in person. If you flirt over text, be sure to flirt with her while you're together or else you may send her mixed signals. Tell the girl things you like about her appearance and her personality to show that you're paying attention to her. Mention what you admire about her, like her attitude or how she maintains herself, to make the girl more likely to enjoy spending time with you. Be genuine with your compliments so she doesn't feel like you're being dishonest with her. For example, you may say something like, "Your hair looks really nice," or "I love that dress. Is it new?" If you want to compliment her personality, you may say something like, "I really admire your sense of humor," or "You're the most determined person I know, and I appreciate that about you." Start by leaning in closer while you're talking or by sitting closer to her. Gauge her interest in you touching her by casually bumping your hand into her arm or asking if she wants a hug. Don't touch her inappropriately and be respectful to her if she doesn't respond how you want. If she's comfortable around you and wants to pursue a relationship, then she may try to touch you as well. If you still don't know if she's interested in you touching her, then ask her directly to show that you respect her. If you've spent time together and you want to know what she thinks of you, open up and let her know how you're feeling. Be honest with her and tell her what's on your mind. Once you express your feelings for the girl, ask her how she feels to gauge her interest. Listen to her intently and respect any decision she makes. For example, you may say something like, "I've really enjoyed spending time together and getting to know you. You're funny, smart, and driven, and I'm starting to have feelings for you." Don't feel rushed to ask the girl if she's interested in you. Take time to develop your friendship first so you're comfortable around one another. If she says she doesn't feel the same, say that it's okay and ask if you can remain friends. Rejection is bound to happen at some point in your life, so learning how to handle it can help you feel more confident. If she expresses interest in you as well, ask her if she wants to go out on a date to spend more time together. Look for fun events you can attend together, restaurants you can try, or movies you want to see. Spend the time on your date getting to know her on a more personal level. Flirt and compliment her throughout the date to show that you're serious about the relationship. If she says no to the date, don't get upset and tell her that it's okay. Respect her decision and don't try to pursue her if she doesn't want you to.
Summary: Try flirting with her to see how she responds to it. Give compliments to show that you're interested in her. Touch her if she's comfortable with it. Tell the girl how you feel about her so she knows that you're interested. Ask the girl out on a date if you have mutual feelings for each other.

Using a toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner grates that were soaking in the sink. Most of the grime will wipe away fairly easy since they have been soaking for several minutes. Set the clean burners off to the side. Using the same toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner caps. Set them off to the side with the burners. With fresh, warm water, thoroughly rinse the burner grates and caps. Be sure rinse away all of the soapy residue. If the burners still aren't clean after using dish soap, try a heavy-duty degreaser instead. Set the burner grates and caps on a mat to air dry. If you want the pieces to dry quickly, wipe them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Once the parts are completely dry, place them back on the stovetop in their proper positions. Your stove is now ready for use once again.

Problem: Article: For the most traditional flavor, use salty country ham. Black-eyed peas can technically be prepared using nothing more than salt and water. The taste of the beans can be rather dull on their own, however, and it is more traditional to prepare them with pork and certain vegetables. Smoked ham steak makes a good choice when cooking black-eyed peas using the alternative slow cooker method. A ham bone works, as well. Use a sweetened ham, like a honey-baked ham, if you want a sweeter taste. Bacon or pancetta are also popular choices to use when preparing black-eyed peas. The vegetables should be chopped into small pieces with a sharp kitchen knife. Give the onions a rough chop until the pieces are roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) in size. Use a tangier variety, like a white onion or yellow onion, for a heartier taste. Use a sweet onion variety, like a Vidalia onion, for a milder, sweeter taste. You could also use 1/4 cup (120 ml) dried minced onion flakes instead of the whole onions to save time. Dice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) chunks, saving the juice. To save time, you can also use a 12-oz (375 ml) can of diced tomatoes. For a spicier twist, select a can a diced tomatoes with chopped green chili peppers. Place the garlic on your cutting board with the broad, dull side of the knife blade held against it. Carefully yet forcefully smack the knife down to break open the garlic and remove the skin. The garlic can be used this way, or you can also mince the garlic into fine pieces with a knife. Alternatively, you can use 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) of garlic powder, instead. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook for 4 minutes or until the edges begin to crisp up, stirring frequently. This step is only optional. You can prepare the beans without crisping up the pork first.
Summary:
Select the best type of ham. Chop the vegetables. Heat up the ham in oil.
