Article: Have a few other people read your dedication. Make sure your meaning is clear and that things are spelled correctly. Have your editor read through it. Most dedications are centered on the page. Some, however, might work better to be aligned to the left. For some types of dedications, you might preserve the original formatting. For example, if you are including a poem as your dedication, you should use the original formatting of the poem, rather than making up your own. Let this person know that your book will be dedicated to them. You don't necessarily need to give them a chance to decline the dedication. But giving them a heads-up might be a courteous thing to do. Fans might respond to the dedication hopefully in a positive way and it would be helpful if the person knows about the dedication.

Article: If the wall is dirty, the paint may not stick to it. Wash the wall using a microfiber cloth and a solution made of one part mild dish soap and four parts warm water. Dry the wall afterwards with a clean cloth. Spread a drop cloth, some newspapers, cardboard, or a plastic tarp down on the floor where you will be working. This is to catch any paint drips or spills and protect your floor. You will also want to have all your paints, brushes, tape, and paper towels handy. Put on a painter's smock or some old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you have very sensitive skin, you might want to consider putting on a pair of vinyl or latex gloves, although most acrylic paints are considered to be safe and non-toxic. If you are planning on using stencils for the first time, you might want to practice on a piece of cardboard first. This will allow you to get the feel for your foam roller or stencil brush first.

This will not only give you a similar texture, but it will also give you an idea of how the final colors will look like, This can be the same color as before, or a whole new color.

Article: Are you telling him that you like him because you think it's possible he likes you back? Or are you telling him to try to break up him and his girlfriend? Think about the reason you want to tell him that you like him, and make sure it doesn't have any ill intent. If you're telling him you like him to get it off your chest so you can move on, this is perfectly okay and very reasonable. If you're telling him just to cause drama in his relationship and hope that he dumps his girlfriend for you, your actions aren't going to be coming from a nice place. If you tell the guy that you have feelings for him, it's likely that his girlfriend will find out. Think about how she'll feel if she knows that you like her boyfriend, especially if she's a friend of yours too. If his girlfriend is one of your friends, she might feel betrayed, or it could change your friendship with her negatively. If she doesn't know you, she may encourage her boyfriend not to interact with you anymore now that she knows you like him. If he's clearly flirting with you or making comments that hint that he likes you, this may be contributing to you wanting to tell him about your own feelings. It's okay to want to figure out if he likes you to, but just remember: if he's flirting with you while he has a girlfriend, this doesn't show that he's a very trustworthy person. Consider talking about the fact that you believe he's flirting with you and what his intentions are. Let him know that he should be respectful of his girlfriend's feelings, but also of yours as well. You might say something like, "I feel like you've been flirting with me lately, and it's leaving me a bit confused. Do you actually like me?" Maybe you two are really close friends, and if he finds out that you like him while he has a girlfriend, it might jeopardize your friendship. Think about the consequences of telling him your feelings and decide whether you think it's worth it to tell him that you like him. For example, if you tell him, he might act awkwardly around you or avoid you a little bit more so he doesn't upset his girlfriend. If you're not worried about risking your friendship and just need to tell him to get your feelings off of your chest, go for it. Since he already has a girlfriend, it's very possible that he won't have the same feelings for you that you have for him if you tell him. Think about the worst case scenario so that you feel prepared and won't be taken by surprise. If you do choose to tell him, be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there and telling him how you feel, knowing that admitting your feelings was what was best for you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Figure out your motive for telling him that you like him. Put yourself in his girlfriend's shoes to see how she would feel. Decide if you think he has feelings for you and what this means. Think about whether it's worth risking your friendship over. Prepare yourself mentally for rejection.
