Is she looking you in the eyes longer than normal or glancing at you when you're not looking? This is usually an indication that someone is attracted to you. See if she makes excuses to talk to you, or tries to get closer to you. In other words, tries to be with you. This most likely means that she's interested Does she seem to get upset when you're around other girls or try to jump into every conversation you have with one? She's probably jealous of the attention that they're getting from you. This is a clear indicator she wants to be more than friends. See if she gets upset, or tenses up when you talk about other girls. Because that makes her nervous that you might have interest in other girls and not her.

Summary: Pay attention to eye contact. Jealous tendencies.

Some rice cookers have a removable bowl or pot, while others must have the rice placed directly in the cooker. Most of the time, rice cookers will come with a measuring "cup" or scoop that can fit 3/4 cup (180 mL). Alternatively, use an ordinary measuring cup. One cup (240 mL) of uncooked rice will generate anywhere from 1 1/2 cups (360 mL) to three cups (720 mL) of cooked rice, depending on variety. Leave enough space for this expansion to prevent the rice cooker from spilling over. Most rice cooker instructions recommend cold water. How much water you add depends on what kind of rice you're cooking and how moist you prefer it. There are often graduated marks on the inside of a rice cooker, indicating how much rice and water should be added, or instructions on the package of rice. Alternatively, use the following suggested amounts depending on your variety of rice, but keep in mind you can always adjust these in future if you prefer your rice more chewy or soft: White, long grain - 1 3/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (420 mL water per 240 mL rice) White, medium grain - 1 1/2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (360 mL water per 240 mL rice) White, short grain - 1 1/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (300 mL water per 240 mL rice) Brown, long grain - 2 1/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (520 mL water per 240 mL rice) Sold as "parboiled" (not half-cooked at home) - 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice For Indian style rices like Basmati or Jasmine, less water is needed as a drier rice is desired, use no more than 1 1/2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. Use only 1 to 1 if you washed the rice previously. It is ok to add bay leaves or cardamom pods directly to the rice cooker to enhance the flavor. This is not required, but some people soak the rice to shorten the cooking time. Soaking may also make the cooked rice stickier. Use the amount of water measured earlier to soak the rice at room temperature, then use this same water for cooking. Some rice cookers simply have an on/off switch. Others have different settings for brown or white rice, or the ability to delay the cooking until a specified time period has passed. You are unlikely to run into problems if you just go with the basic settings, but it's a good idea to figure out what each button or option does if possible.

Summary: Measure the rice with a cup and put it into your cooking pot. Measure the water. Soak the rice for thirty minutes, if desired. Check your rice cooker for special options.

Do some preliminary "homework" by searching the Internet or visiting other stores to find the lowest prices for the item you want. Printing out a counteroffer or writing down the website to show the seller during negotiation demonstrates that you've done your research and are willing to go elsewhere. Make sure you're looking at comparable products. Just because you found a used model for half the price doesn't mean you can get a new one for that amount. If you're considering a house, ask a real estate agent to provide you with a list of comparable listings and sales. Also find out how long the house has been on the market the longer it has, the more willing the owners will be to sell it at a discount. Familiarize yourself with the product's features and how they compare to similar products. The more knowledgeable you are, the better you'll be able to judge the terms of the deal. When negotiating over expensive items, looking your best will garner more respect from the other party. This is especially true if you're negotiating over a house.#Be discreet in your negotiations. If you're purchasing a television or car in a public location, the seller won't want nearby customers to discover they can get a cheaper deal. Keep the volume down and the conversation private to get the best deals. Your earlier research should give you a good idea of how much "wiggle room" you have. Be careful not to undershoot and offend the seller. When shopping for houses, a polite offer is usually 5 to 10% below the listed price. If they don't agree to your offer, you'll need to give them a reason to change their mind. It's difficult to haggle over very expensive items simply by naming prices back and forth. Point out your loyal customer history if you have one, or offer an additional benefit. If you're buying a car, for instance, offer to have the car serviced at their garage if they sell it to you. If you're selling a home, agree to pay for a repair. Discuss any flaws in the product, however minor. A small dent or a feature that doesn't live up to its advertisement can be reasons for a discount. Mention dissatisfaction with some aspect of the product, such as the style or lack of associated product (e.g. a wireless keyboard for a computer). Be careful not to insult the seller, especially if they are the craftsman or designer of the product. Retailers won't have to pay a credit card fee for a cash transaction, and may pass on that discount to you. Warning: This could backfire if you're trying to buy a house. Having enough cash on hand to buy a house can signify to the seller that you're wealthy enough to afford more. Act hesitant until the seller reduces the price to an acceptable level. If the seller won't reach a price you're happy with, try these other tactics: If you're making an offer on a house, send a polite thank you email to their counteroffer, but don't respond with a counteroffer of your own for several days. This gives them time to worry you might not be interested, and to consider lowering the price. Say you have a spouse or family member at home that's limiting your budget. You could even fake a call to them if you have to. If the price is "out of your hands" the seller might concede some ground. If all you can get is a mediocre deal, ask the seller how long they can hold that price for you. Quoting that price at other establishments could cause both them and the original one to lower their price. Reading the fine print on your real estate contract or warranty plan is always a good idea. If the final price or terms are different than you expected, immediately bring it up with the other party. You may need to haggle further.

Summary: Do your research. Dress well. Make a low but reasonable starting offer. Give the other person a reason to change their price. Ask about available coupons, sales, or a cash discount. Continue negotiating until you agree on a price or the seller balks. Keep a close eye on the transaction.
