Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try a long distance relationship if you can't find gay men in your town. Start a long distance relationship Set ground rules for your long distance relationship. Find personal ways to connect with your LDR boyfriend. Schedule in-person dates when possible.

Answer: A long distance relationship (LDR) is a romantic relationship where both partners live far apart. If you're mainly interested in a gay relationship and have a hard time finding gay men, long distance relationships may be an option. Long distance relationships take work and communication, and they're not right for every situation. Don't be afraid to take a break or end the relationship if it hurts more than it helps you. online. Join an online dating site or app and expand the distance requirements to outside of your town. Message any users who interest you and, if you feel a spark, ask them if they're open to long distance relationships. With time and persistence, you may find someone you want to start an LDR with. You may also connect with and eventually develop a long distance relationship with a member from an LGBTQ group, forum, or chat room. Scruff Venture is a popular dating app for meeting gay men in faraway cities or while traveling. In the beginning of a long-distance relationship, setting clear rules with your boyfriend can eliminate confusion and keep your relationship strong while apart. Ask your LDR boyfriend any of the following questions to establish the relationship: How often should we meet every week, month, or year? Would you be willing to relocate as our relationship grows? How long do we expect the relationship to last? Are we exclusive or can we see other people, too? Do we eventually want to close the distance and, if so, when? Because you can't see your boyfriend in person as often, connecting with them verbally or through text is essential. Send your boyfriend thoughtful texts, schedule webcam dates, and call regularly to keep the passion alive. Sending gifts through the mail is another way to give your long-distance relationship a personal touch. Depending on the distance, try to visit your boyfriend at least once a month or several months. When you're together, make up for lost time by showing each other around your hometowns, meeting friends and family, and appreciating each other's company while you can. Some couples also establish "end dates" for the distance, where both partners move closer to each other, as motivation to make it through difficult or lonely patches in the relationship.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make washing a regular part of your routine. Use a gentle, plant-oil based cleansing product. Use your fingertips to wash your face. Massage the skin gently. Avoid exfoliation. Do not ever pop your pimples.

Answer: Wash your face at least twice a day once when you wake up to clear away oils that accumulate on the skin during sleep, and once before sleep to wash away the day's accumulation. You should also wash your face after periods of heavy sweating, whether you've gone to the gym or just been outside on a warm day. Take a bath at least once a day, and consider taking an extra shower after heavy sweating. Look for a cleanser labeled as "non-comedogenic." This means that the product doesn't promote the formation of comedones (blackheads or whiteheads) or pimples. Many brands such Neutrogena, Cetaphil, and Olay produce non-comedogenic products. There are also many off-brand or store-brand non-comedogenic products. You can also look for non-comedogenic oils to dissolve skin oils and clean the skin. Always read the packaging to be certain. Popular non-comedogenic oils include hemp seed oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, and castor oil. Avoid products that have alcohol in them, as it dries out and damages the skin. The dried, dead skin cells clog the pores, actually making acne worse. If you use a washcloth or sponge to work cleansers into your skin, reconsider that practice. These products are rough against your skin, can irritate it, causing more problems than they solve. Instead, use your fingertips to massage cleansers into your skin. You may be tempted to scrub at your skin during your daily washing, but this is a bad idea. The cause of your acne lies under the skin, and you cannot treat it through scrubbing, which only irritates the skin and worsens surface inflammation. Using your fingertips, gently massage the cleanser into your skin for 10 seconds or less, taking care not to irritate existing acne. Exfoliation can be good for healthy skin, but you shouldn't try to exfoliate acne-covered skin. It can cause both micro-scarring that can't be seen without magnification, and more obvious scarring. It can also pull away skin that's not yet ready to fall off, like pulling off a scab before it's ready. This can lead to scarring and discoloration. Chemical exfoliants detach the dead and dying skin cells, but can be drying and irritating as well. These over-the-counter treatments are different than the dermabrasion performed by dermatologists. A dermatologist uses techniques like laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion under magnification. They direct the treatment towards specific, very small areas, not the entire face. Professional treatments may not cause discoloration. Pimples, pustules, blackheads, and so on may look unattractive, but they're actually working to keep the bacteria in your skin contained. When you pop a zit, the white pus that comes out and touches your skin spreads the very bacteria that causes acne. If you absolutely must get rid of a pimple, see a dermatologist to lance it in a sterile, professional environment. At home, though, it's best to simply let your zit run its course. Popping it might cause acne to flare up, lengthen the healing time, and increase scarring and discoloration. In serious cases, picking or popping a pimple can cause a severe staph infection.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell your friend if you're worried about them. Let your friend know that you are there for them if they need your help. Listen Empathize Tell your friend a story if something similar happened to you. Make suggestions only if your friend asks for your advice.

Answer:
If your friend has been saying or doing concerning things, let them know that you've noticed and that you're worried about them. Avoid getting upset or emotional when you do this as it may cause them to feel worse. Just tell your friend what you are concerned about in a straightforward manner. For example, you might say something like, "John, I've noticed that you stopped coming to game nights and that you are spending most of your time alone. I'm worried about you." Some examples of concerning behavior may include withdrawing, acting sad, self-harming, using drugs, gambling, or having unsafe sex. It's important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk, but letting them know that you're there for them if they need you can help to reassure them. Offer to help them in any way that you can. Try saying something like, "I'm here for you if you ever want to talk," or, "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help." to your friend if they want to talk with you. Give your friend your undivided attention if they want to talk, such as by putting away your phone and shutting off the TV or your computer. Face them and make eye contact with them. While your friend is talking, pay close attention to what they say and nod to show you are hearing them. You can also rephrase what they say now and then to show you're paying attention. For example, you might say something like, "It sounds like you're saying that you haven't felt happy in a while. Is that right?" with your friend to gain insight into what they're feeling. Empathy is a way of understanding other people's feelings by putting yourself into their shoes. Try to imagine how you'd feel if you were going through what your friend has experienced or described. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or all of these things at once. Be sensitive to your friend's emotions as you listen and respond to them. For example, if your friend shares with you that they have been feeling depressed since the death of a family pet, imagine how you might feel if your pet died. If you have had an experience that is similar to your friend's experience, sharing it with them might help them to feel better. However, make sure to share the story in a shortened version so you don't end up turning the spotlight onto yourself. Remember that the point of sharing the story is to help your friend feel validated and less alone in their experience. For example, if your friend shares with you that they are having trouble with schoolwork and worried about failing, you might say something like, "I struggled a lot with math last year and I thought I was going to fail. I had to get tutoring after school a few days per week for a while." Or, if a friend shares with you that they're feeling depressed and don't know what to do about it, you might say, "I felt really lost, too, when I went through a depressive episode a couple of years ago. I don't know if it would help you, but therapy really helped me." Unsolicited advice is not usually received well, so it's best to avoid advising your friend about what they should do. Instead, focus on listening to them and only offer advice if they directly ask you for it. And if you do make a suggestion, make sure to maintain a non-judgmental and somewhat uncertain tone. For example, if your friend asks what they should do about a conflict with another friend, you might say something like, "I don't know if this will help you, but I usually find it's best to talk to someone when I'm having an issue with them."
