One way to begin your move is to signal that you are indeed interested. Your friend may not realize it, and she may share your feelings and have no idea that you feel the same way. Talk openly about your dating life. Perhaps even ask your friend about hers. You will have to change the way that she sees you, and to show her that you are looking for a relationship. If you have known each other for a while, you should already have some idea of what your friend likes, dislikes, does for fun, and looks for in others. Deepen your interest in her. Ask her about her activities. Does she like tennis? Didn't she know that you do too? Perhaps you could play a match together sometime? Focus on activities that you share with an eye to demonstrating your compatibility. Scientific studies show that flirting signalling interest and availability often trumps physical attractiveness. Start slowly. Smile, make eye contact, joke, perhaps even lightly touch your friend on the arm. But don't come out too strong or too physically. After all, your aim is to signal your interest and at the same time put your friend at ease. Even if you are flirting, always keep your friend's level of comfort in mind. The worst possible thing you can do is to put her off by coming on too strongly. Laughter is usually a good social lubricant; make her laugh and show by your behavior and demeanor that you are a fun person, and that you enjoy her company. Try to be your old lighthearted self - the one that she knows so well - and not let the pressures of the situation make you too serious. After you have weighed the decision, signaled your interest, and tested the waters, it is at last time to take the leap: ask your friend out. Keep in mind that you will have to be upfront about what you are asking so that there is no ambiguity. This is a date, not just a friendly get-together. The best way is to ask her in person. This will let you see her body language and reaction and help you to modify your behavior in turn. You may be more comfortable asking over the phone, by message, or through a third person, and these are all valid options. But keep in mind that face to face contact, however scary, is more personal and friendly.

Summary: Plant the seed. Deepen your interest. Flirt. Make her feel comfortable. Ask for a date.

When the two friends you are setting up meet for the first time, make them feel comfortable. Talking about how they'd make a great couple when they've only just met could make them both uncomfortable. Additionally, making a quick introduction and then walking away might leave them both feeling awkward with nothing to say to one another. Likewise, avoid putting them in a situation in which they are the only two single people at a gathering. When first introducing them, let them get to know each other a bit before pushing them together as a couple. When one friend approaches while you're talking to the other friend, introduce them by name. Then try saying something like, "You know, Mia enjoys gardening and has a green thumb just like you Joe." Now your two newly introduced friends can strike up a conversation about their shared interest in gardening. A great way to get your two friends to spend some time around each other is to invite them to a casual gathering. With you there, you can help focus the conversation on a topic you know is of interest to both of them. Plus, you can keep the conversation going in moments of awkward silence so that neither of them feels overly uncomfortable. Invite your two friends out for appetizers or drinks. Organize a weekend cookout or host a small party at your place and invite both friends. Plan a mutually liked activity, such as hiking or mini golf, and invite both of your friends to join you. If you are in a relationship, suggest a double date with you and your partner accompanied by the two friends you wish to set up. No matter how much you think your two friends would make a great match, if one or both of them are not interested in going on a date, then don't push it. They might not hit it off immediately, but perhaps they will down the road. Pushing things too much in the beginning could sabotage any possibility of them making a connection in the future. Likewise, pushing your two friends into a dating situation they just aren't interested in might damage their friendship with you.

Summary: Be subtle when introducing the two friends. Arrange a casual meeting. Avoid forcing a love match.

Take a hose and wet the ground directly around the tree until the soil is damp. This will soften the ground and make digging the tree out easier. It also reduces stress for the tree and keeps some soil attached to its roots. Using a shovel, dig up the topsoil from the roots nearest to the trunk. Continue digging up the topsoil until you reach the approximate length of the tree's root ball. The root ball is the sphere of roots that you will replant in another location. As a general rule, there should be 1012 inches (2530cm) of root ball for every 1 inch (2.5cm) of the tree's diameter. Keep the spade faced away from the tree as you dig. Shape the roots in a circle that will become the tree's root ball. Cut away any large roots that go beyond your mark with pruning shears. If you're planning on transplanting the tree you need to be careful not to remove too many roots. A general rule is for every inch in diameter of the trunk, there needs to be 10"-12" of root ball. Lift the root ball up with your shovel and have another person work a square of burlap beneath the roots. Set the root ball back down and lift it out of the ground by the burlap. Keep the burlap tied around the root ball until you're ready to replant it. Burlap is important because it is biodegradable. It keeps the roots safe and together until you're ready to plant the tree and then decomposes into the soil afterward.

Summary: Water the soil surrounding the tree the day before you remove it. Remove the topsoil surrounding the top roots. Dig the roots out with a spade. Dig underneath the root ball and pull it out of the ground.

Heat the oil until its surface begins to shimmer and the skillet is hot. Use tongs to remove them from the marinade and place them on the skillet. Reserve the marinade in its container. Sear on one side for 30 seconds. Flip the steaks and sear for another 30 seconds. It should be large enough to hold all of the steaks with no overlap. Try to distribute it evenly over the steaks. Add extra salt and pepper to taste. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and serve.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Sear the steaks on both sides. Transfer the steaks to a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the steaks. Bake the steaks for 30 minutes.
