In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some contracts are absolutely non-negotiable, such as an End User License Agreement (EULA), or shrink-wrap license agreement, for a product such as iTunes. If you find that a contract is non-negotiable, you must decide whether or not to agree to it as the terms of the contract exist. Other contracts may be negotiable to some extent. In this situation, you should ask the other party whether he or she is willing to negotiate some of the contract terms if you disagree with them. Before you attempt to negotiate a contract, you need to have a specific idea about your desired outcome. For example, if you want to extend an apartment rental lease term, then you should know exactly how long you would like the term extension to be. Before beginning negotiations, you should determine exactly where you or your company stands with respect to each of the negotiable terms. Make a list of non-negotiable contract terms that you absolutely require. If you cannot reach agreement with the other party, these terms are so important to you that they will prevent you from entering into the contract. Make a list of contract terms on which you are willing to compromise or negotiate. These are the terms that, in an ideal world, would be included in a final contract, but you are willing to live without them in order to secure the contract. Make a list of contract terms that are unimportant to you. In other words, you have no preference as to whether these terms are included in the contract or not. Do not share these lists with the other contracting parties. You will use these lists during the negotiation process, but keep them to yourself so that you don't reveal your negotiation strategy with the other parties. Know the lowest or highest point you can accept and still enter into the contract. For example, assume that you are a strawberry farmer and you absolutely must get at least $100.00 for a particular shipment in order to make ends meet. In this case, your bottom line sales price would be $100.00. Gather any facts, figures and documents you may need to back up your negotiation points. Doing so will give you support for your position on each issue that may be persuasive to the other party to the contract. You can share this checklist with the other party prior to beginning the negotiations process. When you negotiate a contract, it helps if both sides agree to this agenda before the negotiation session begins. There may already be a deadline in place that you'll need to follow. For example, if a shipment of strawberries needs to be sold within three days, the sales contract must be finalized within that timeframe. Prepare for the possibility that you and the other party will not be able to agree on terms within the necessary timeframe. For example, you may agree to schedule a mediation after two failed contract negotiation meetings. On the other hand, you may cease negotiating the contract altogether. This technique will help you reach an agreement faster and with less resistance and time-consuming inquiries. While you do not want to provide the other party with your negotiation strategy, you can disclose all of the facts surrounding your contract negotiation requests, provide documentation of any facts or figures you use to support your requests, communicate openly about your interests and be receptive to the other party's counter-presentations. This will promote cooperation and aid both parties' openness to mutually beneficial solutions. Remember that by signing a contract, you are entering into a relationship with another person or company. You do not want to tarnish that relationship with negativity before it even begins.
Summary: Determine what contract provisions are negotiable. Identify your objectives for entering into the contract. Analyze all of the terms to be included in the contract. Determine your "bottom line" for each disputed contract term. Collect documentation to support your position on each disputed contract term. Create a checklist of items to address during negotiations. Set a timeframe within which to reach an agreement on disputed terms. Build trust with the other party. Approach the negotiations with a positive attitude.

Problem: Article: Take care of how you look and smell especially if you are growing up quickly. You may notice that you sweat a lot more or that you smell very bad. These are not attractive qualities so be sure to shower and wear deodorant every day. Also remember to brush your teeth and style your hair. Keeping basic hygiene makes sure that she does not get grossed out. Always stay fresh and clean even when you're not in school because if you run into her friends in the mall and they think that you smell, the rumour will spread quickly back to her. Without even knowing it, you may have already blown your chance. Take deodorant to school with you, if allowed, in your sports kit on P.E. days. While each girl will like her own specific style, take pride in how your dress. Have confidence in your appearance and know what works for you. You want to feel comfortable in your outfits so that it will be one less thing to worry about. This does NOT mean forcing your friends to ask out a girl on your behalf but it can mean using them to help you look better or find out information about her. It also has the added effect of showing that you are a sociable person and fun to be around. If you aren't friends already, introduce yourself when you are working in a group or when you are sitting next to each other. Talk to her in class, but don't be obnoxious. Don't talk to her too much, just say hi when you find yourself around her or wave if you see her around school. Talk to her whenever the opportunity presents itself. Start by simply asking, "How's it going?" Don't be creepy or awkward by lingering at her location without saying something. If you have nothing to say, don't force it. Just greet her and move along. Make sure to make a good impression on them as they are her first line of defense. If she is much more popular than you, or in a different social circle, more effort will be required. Try and talk to that group to get closer to her, and be seen in a different light. A girl is much more likely to go out with you if you have gained her trust and respect on a friendship level. Start slow and chat as acquaintances. Don't be too eager to please her. Leave her intrigued and looking forward to her next encounter with you. Becoming friends can happen by sitting next to her in class, teaming up with her for class projects, interacting with her friends, or getting her number or social media handles to chat. Find a topic that interests you both and chat with her as often as you can. Don't be afraid to ask questions and to change topics so that you can continue the conversation and, more importantly, get to know more about her. Don't try to force a conversation and make things awkward with silence. It's okay to end a conversation if you don't feel like it's flowing in your favour. Try to find common hobbies and interests. For example, you may chat about video games because there are a surprising number of girls that enjoy them as much as boys. Local sports teams are also a great topic to chat about. For example, you can say "Hey, did you catch last night's game?" If she's sad ask "What's wrong" and if she doesn't want to tell you about it then say "We're friends, you know I would understand" Know that you are you're own person and that she should like you for who you are. It's okay to have your own opinion. Disagreeing with her or not liking something that she likes is okay. If she doesn't like you for your opinion then you know it wasn't meant to be, but always respect others and yourself. If your opinion is rude or disrespectful, you may have other problems to address. If you make body jokes, do it in moderation. If you do it too much you will come off as crude and immature. if you do it in moderation you may make her laugh and come off self confident if you joke about yourself. Do not be a disrespectful or a bully. People are allowed to have their own opinion. Make sure that you're able to have an open conversation without turning it into a shouting match or worse. Open doors for her and help her carry her books without her having to ask for it. Girls really love these small sweet gestures of kindness and they will notice it. You don't have to buy her an expensive gift for her birthday to make her happy when you can give her something sentimental like a small key chain of a funny joke you two shared.
