Q: If locking lips seems like too much of a commitment, try kissing a girl by giving her a quick peck. Turn your head away from her lips and purse your lips together so that your teeth aren't showing. Lean into her cheek and give her a quick kiss to show some affection. Always get consent first, even for a simple peck on the cheek. While kissing her, if you're confident that you can lift her off of the ground, wrap your arms around her waist and lift her up while keeping your lips against her. This is a classic romantic gesture and will show her that you're really attracted to her and enjoying the kiss. If she resists in any way, don't try to keep lifting her up. Some girls don't like being lifted off of the floor. Once you've gotten used to kissing one another, you can start to make out. While kissing, run the very tip of your tongue over her lower lip a few times. If she opens her mouth a bit more, then she may be interested. Introduce your tongue slowly and once your tongues are touching, move your tongue slowly around her mouth. Don't overdo it with the French kissing if you have a lot of saliva built up in your mouth. Take breaks! It can be hard to breathe if you're mouths are locked in a French kiss for more than 10-20 seconds.
A: Give her a quick peck on the cheek as a simple sign of affection. Lift her off of the ground as you kiss her to be more romantic. Try French kissing after you're comfortable with one another.

Q: If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and unfocused, making a list is the easiest and quickest way to simplify and help you plan an attack. To learn what you need to focus on now and how to put everything else in the background, make a list of the things that are pressing on your mind. Short-term tasks should be things that are urgent. What needs to be done today, or by the end of the week? You decide the time frame, but try to keep it as urgent as possible. Long term goals are also important, but only if you translate them into a list of specific short-term things that you can do. If "Become a doctor" is on your list of long-term goals, and is stressing you out, it's not something that you're going to be able to make happen before lunch. But you can start researching med schools. How you choose to assign importance to the tasks and prioritize them will depend on you and on your list, but there are several ways of going about it and making your job easier. Don't spend too much time tweaking the list, go with your gut instinct and get things in order so you can get started. One way is the A, B, C method, which breaks down tasks by: A: Must-do, very important tasks that must be done today. Example: Finish the report today by the 4:30 deadline. B: A task that may not be immediate, but will become an "A" priority eventually. Example: Get all tax documents together in order to file by next month. C: Tasks of least importance, although needs to be done. Example: Shred duplicate file. Organize according to importance. Identify the most important tasks on your list and put them at the top, ranking them according to how critical the task is to you. So, if you've got to write a term paper today, put away your laundry, and return a RedBox DVD, the tasks should probably be in that order. Organize according to difficulty. For some people, putting the most difficult tasks up front and getting them out of the way is the best way to approach a to-do list, while others prefer to start small and progressively get bigger. It might be easier to focus more on reading a chapter for your history class if you get your math homework out of the way first. Next to each item, it can be helpful to draw up a brief estimate of how much time it'll take you to actually complete it. Again, don't spend a lot of time calculating, or stressing over this detail. You don't even need an actual number, just break each item into a category called "Quick" or "Slow" so you'll know when to assign each task. If you know you won't be able to complete all your history research in the ten minutes you have to get something started, you can put it in the back of your mind and do something else instead with your time. Start the laundry, or write up a thank-you note to someone you've been meaning to get in touch with. That's using your time wisely. After giving some consideration to time and the importance of the tasks, you'll have to put something at the top of the list. Decide what it is that demands your attention right now at this instant and put it there. It might be the most important thing on the list, or the most timely, but whatever it is, it's something that you're going to do and work on until it's finished, or finished-enough for your purposes. Be confident and secure in knowing that you've made a to-do list and you can put it away and ignore it for a while. Once you know what task you're going to complete right now, having the list looming over you will just be distracting and will keep you scattered. Put the list away, in a drawer, or somewhere else you won't be able to see it. Nothing else matters right now but the thing on the top of your list. Desktop stickies are great little reminder tools for a lot of people on their laptops, but consider hiding them when you've really got to focus on something. Don't be stressing about the party you've got to get organized for later if you're writing a term paper. Put the list out of your mind by putting it out of sight. Make a list of things that will not happen right now. Although counter-inuitive, removing tasks from your mental list helps you free yourself to do the things that you really need to do. For example: You will have to work late. Therefore, you cannot make dinner tonight. Your cross country meet conflicts with the yearbook meeting. You can't do both.
A: Write down everything you need to do. Order the list. Estimate how much time you'll need to accomplish each task. Pick the first thing you need to do. Put the list away. Make a "To-Don't" List.

Q: Warm sea salt water can help with pain and it may also help to heal an infection. To make a warm sea salt water rinse, mix about one teaspoon of sea salt with one cup of water. Stir until the salt dissolves in the water. Then, sip enough of the fluid to swish in your mouth and swish for about a minute. Spit out the fluid when you are done. Repeat this process several times throughout the day to help with pain and promote healing. Garlic has been shown to have some powerful antibacterial properties. Try using fresh garlic in a compress for a tooth infection. You can either use fresh, crushed garlic or one teaspoon of dried garlic powder mixed with one teaspoon of water. To make the garlic compress, place the fresh crushed garlic or garlic powder paste into a clean nylon stocking. Gather the garlic into one small section of the nylon stocking so that it forms a small ball or lump. Then, apply the compress to the affected tooth and hold it there for about five minutes. Repeat this process four or five times per day. Some people use apple cider vinegar to help treat infections, so it might help with a tooth infection. Mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with about one cup of water. Then, swish the solution in your mouth for about a minute and spit it out. Repeat this rinse a few times per day. Clove oil may help ease some of the pain caused by an infected tooth. There is also some evidence that using a toothpaste that contains clove oil may be an effective treatment for plaque. To use clove oil, put a few drops on a cotton swab and dab the oil onto the affected tooth. Leave the clove oil on your tooth for about three to five minutes. Then, rinse out your mouth with some salt water. Repeat this treatment four or five times per day.
A:
Rinse with warm sea salt water. Make a garlic compress. Swish with apple cider vinegar. Apply clove oil.
