Having a chance to see if his treatment of you changes when she is around can go a long way in making sure they are just friends. If your boyfriend suddenly won't show you affection when the three of you are together, there probably is a problem. If they are really just friends, both your boyfriend and his friend should show you respect. If you can hang out with the two of them and not get any bad vibes, chances are, they are just friends and you have nothing to worry about. If you have concerns about her intentions, it might make you feel better to spend some time with them together and with her on your own. Perhaps spending more time with her can help you to see that your concerns were not warranted. When the two of you spend time together, try to view her from your boyfriend's eyes. Does she have a fun personality? Does she tell great jokes? Is she a great listener? Give her the benefit of the doubt and don't immediately look for flaws. If there's nothing more to their relationship, she should have no problem getting to know you better. It's a red flag if she seems jealous because you two have very different roles in his life. If you have trouble accepting their friendship, you may need to check yourself. Passive-aggression can be demonstrated when you are afraid to speak your mind or wary of being honest. You may not listen when your boyfriend talks about his female friend. Or, you may plan his birthday party and "forget" to invite her. Passive aggression may serve your purposes, but it can also destroy your relationship.If you notice yourself doing these things, ask yourself how you can have your thoughts and needs met in a more adaptive way.

You will need a double-sided (coarse and fine grit) synthetic sharpening stone. You will also need a honing steel, which is typically sold in the form of a lightly-grooved, magnetized iron rod. Both of these materials can be found at your local hardware store. Sharpening stones have two sides with different grits. The grit measures how rough the stone is, and thus how severely it sharpens. Higher numbers stand for finer grits meaning the lowest number is the roughest surface. This hand provides the control and keeps the edge down on the stone as you work.

If there have been recent crimes in your area, chances are interest is high. If not, enthusiasm might be low, but remind your friends and neighbors that the majority of crimes in the US are property crimes, and that a Neighborhood Watch is best-suited to combat property crimes. Gather information about recent crime in your area. Speak to other neighbors, inform them of the facts, and ask them about their interest in participating in a Neighborhood Watch. Distribute flyers inviting all neighbors to a Neighborhood Watch meeting at a central gathering point in your area. Assure your neighbors that there are many ways of participating, from being a window watcher to being a block captain. Everyone can help! Ask new members if there are any additional crimes they want to address or feel particularly threatened by. Any Neighborhood Watch, though managed and composed of your community members, will operate with the help and supervision of the police. The Sheriff's Office should assign a Crime Prevention Officer to help train your members and determine if a different or increased Neighborhood Watch structure is necessary. For a Neighborhood Watch to be successful, it is essential that local law enforcement and citizens understand each other. You may be starting your Neighborhood Watch program because you are dissatisfied with local law enforcement, but keep in mind that oftentimes local law enforcement can be concerned with city- or even region-wide crimes. Remind your local law enforcement about your community's needs, and ask them how they can help you.
