INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're dating someone, focus on having fun with them. Enjoy getting to know them, trying new things with them, and sharing things about yourself with them. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself or on the person you're dating. For example, when you're going on the first few dates with someone, ask them questions and show sincere interest in their responses. If you hit it off, you'll be genuinely eager to learn about their childhood or hobbies. Even after falling in love with someone, stay positive and curious. Falling in love just happens, but staying in love is a series of choices. Choose to keep having fun, learning more about each other, and sharing new experiences. Communication is essential, whether you are in a budding relationship or have been married for years. Try to have quality conversations as often as possible. Share your hopes and fears, tell each other funny stories, and check in with each other about the health of your relationship. To promote quality conversations, set aside distraction-free time to talk, such as during or right after dinner. Ask each other open-ended questions, such as "What was the most interesting part of your day?" instead of simple yes or no questions. Tell each other where you see the relationship going and what you hope for the future. As your relationship matures, talk about goals such as marriage, having children, and buying a home. Filling each others' needs is a factor that contributes to falling in love. Sharing goals and helping each other reach them can help you and your partner deepen your bond. Additionally, it's a good idea to make sure you're both on the same page when it comes to life goals. For instance, if you're ready to settle down, you wouldn't want to get too serious with someone who doesn't share your desire to have kids. Getting comfortable with your partner is great, but you don't want to get stuck in a rut. Try new things and visit new places together to deepen your bond. If you feel like your relationship needs a pick-me-up, talk to your partner about adding variety to your routine. Schedule regular date nights and don't just do to the same thing over and over again. You could try a new restaurant or type of cuisine, or explore a new part of your city. Take on an exciting challenge or learn a new skill together. You could go skydiving, hike or go rock climbing, or take a cooking class. Encourage each other to pursue interests outside of your relationship. Give each other space to have individual interests, but act as cheerleaders for each other. For instance, suppose your partner loves long-distance running. You can enjoy plenty of other activities together, but training can be their "thing." Give them their me-time, but cheer them on at races and say things like, "I'm super proud that you beat your best time this week!" As a relationship matures, it's common for partners to feel like they're losing part of themselves. Pursuing goals both independently and together can help you and your partner maintain a long-lasting, loving relationship. Little favors are a great way to show your partner you love them. For instance, leave an "I love you, have a great day!" note before they leave for work, or wash the dishes after they made dinner. Kind actions can actually deepen your feelings of love. If you feel like you've fallen out of love with your spouse or long-term partner, small acts of kindness can help. Take initiative and leave nice notes, bring home a little gift for them, or do a chore they can't stand to do. When they see that you're putting effort into the relationship, they'll follow suit. Address a specific issue or behavior calmly and constructively instead of resort to personal attacks. Disagreements are inevitable in any relationship. Dealing with them appropriately plays a key role in falling and staying in love. For instance, saying, "I feel like a lot of the household responsibilities are falling on me. Could you help out around the house more?" is constructive. "You're lazy and I'm sick of it" is a personal attack. When resolving an argument, avoid holding grudges, bringing up the past, threatening to break up as a knee-jerk response, or making sarcastic comments. If you or your partner need to cool off, avoid just walking away and giving each other the silent treatment. Instead, say something like, "I think we could both use some space to chill out for a while. Let's discuss this when we're both calm." Do your best to let go of the need to control the outcome of the relationship. When it comes to love, you're not always in control, so do your best to be patient. You can't just decide to fall in love with someone or force someone to fall in love with you. If you feel anxious about not being in control, take some deep breaths and tell yourself, "Don't worry, and don't take things so seriously. You like being around this person, and that's all that matters for now. If they don't turn out to be the one, that's okay!" Along the way, you may find people who look great on paper, but things don't go anywhere. There's no way to force yourself to fall in love. If you're dating someone and your feelings just aren't there, treat it as a learning opportunity. Eventually, you'll find someone who's right for you.

SUMMARY: Try to keep a positive, curious mindset. Communicate with your partner openly. Discuss your goals and plans. Share new experiences to keep things fresh. Show interest in each other's individual passions. Do small acts of kindness for each other. Find healthy ways to deal with conflict. Let a relationship develop naturally instead of trying to force it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start by rolling two small balls of clay about the size of a pin head. Press each ball onto the sides of the angel's head, turning them into slight disks. Make them level with the dent, and position them closer to the face than to the back of the head. Use a clay tool, or another blunt-tipped tool, to blend in the front part of the ears towards the angel's face. Do not blend in the back of the ears. Choose some clay for your angel's hair. It can be yellow, brown, black, or even a surprising color, like pink or purple. Roll out your desired clay into a thin sheet. You can use an acrylic tube to do this, or simply press the clay between your fingers to make a "pancake." Use a toothpick to draw streaks into the clay going widthwise. Be sure to cover the top of the head as well. Don't cover the face. Smooth the top of the sheet over the top of the head. If you'd like to, you can add a parting crease with a toothpick. Roll out thin coils of clay, then attach them to the front of the hairline. They can be as long and wispy as you'd like. For a more realistic effect, have all the smaller hair pieces come from the start of the part. Consider adding some streaks to the bangs before you attach them to the head. To make curls: attach tip of coil to head, twist the other end into a coil, then position it using clay tools or a toothpick. To make blunt-cut or straight-across bangs: roll out a thin sheet of clay, then cut it down to a triangle or rectangle shape that will fill in the gap on the forehead. Press it onto the forehead.

SUMMARY:
Add small balls of skin-toned clay for the ears. Blend the front part of the ears in only. Roll some hair-colored clay into a sheet and add streaks into it. Wrap the sheet around the angel's head to make the hair. Add smaller pieces for the bangs.
