Problem: Article: Girls like to feel special, so taking the time to do a few simple old fashioned gestures will go a long way when trying to win a girl's heart. Observe her reactions to your gestures, and make sure she appreciates you going the extra mile. If she wants a more equal relationship, these may seem condescending. Open doors for her when you are with her. Take the time to open the car door for her when you arrive and leave from places. Hold doors open for her and any others around when you enter a building. Offer her your coat on a cold night. This act of chivalry shows her that you care about her by making her comfortable. Meet her friends and family. Ask her if you can introduce yourself to her friends or parents because you want to meet the people she loves. Creating a feeling of safety and security will help a girl trust and open up to you. Simple actions of kindness can help make her feel safe in your arms. Hold her hand when you are walking with her. Having her hand in yours shows her that you are proud to be with her and makes her feel as though you will keep her safe. Stand close to her, or pull her close to you. Standing within a close proximity to her when you are out with friends will ensure her that she is your one and only. Put your arm around her. Try putting your arm around her shoulders when you are watching a movie or hanging out with friends. She will like the feeling of comfort in your arms, and it should make her feel like you're strong. Be there for her when she is feeling down. A girl needs to feel safe and secure emotionally. Listen to her when she talks about a problem, and reassure her that she will be alright. Let her know that you are there for her in any way she needs, and if she needs help solving the problem, you are happy to help. Present yourself as being cultured and respectful by using proper manners when you eat. Chew with your mouth closed, and don't talk while you have food in your mouth. Use your knife to guide food on your fork, not your fingers. Wipe you face and hands with a napkin rather than your clothes. Keep your phone put away during dinner. When you treat people with respect in front of a girl, it shows her that you are going to treat her with the utmost of respect. Show love to your mom or sister in front of the girl to let her see that you understand what real love looks like. Be helpful to elderly ladies by opening doors for them or helping them with their groceries when you are out with a girl. She will see how compassionate you are and know that you'll be this compassionate with her. While a little suspense can make her excited to hear from you, make sure that you don't leave her waiting too long.
Summary: Practice old fashioned gestures. Make her feel safe. Use good table manners. Be respectful to others in front of her. Return phone calls and texts in a timely manner.

Problem: Article: Choosing to not eat certain food groups means changing the way you live. While you can quit that food group "cold turkey," you may find greater success maintaining your new lifestyle if you begin by incorporating one meatless meal a day into your routine, then increasing the number of meatless meals you eat every week. If you cook, try some of your favorite recipes without meat, such as making spaghetti sauce without meat or with a vegetarian meat substitute or making your morning smoothie with almond or soy milk instead of dairy. At your favorite restaurant, try your mainstay without meat: order a bean burrito with grilled vegetables instead of your regular beef and cheese burrito. Alternatives for various food groups can be single or processed plant-based foods: Plant-based meat and poultry alternatives include beans, tofu, tempeh, textured soy protein, and Quorn products, which are made from Mycoprotein. Milk alternatives may be made from soy, rice, coconut, flax, hemp, almonds, and sunflowers. Alternatives for other dairy products, like cheese and sour cream, are made from a combination of plant-based materials. Egg substitutes include commercially-processed products and single foods like silken tofu, flaxseed meal, pureed fruit such as bananas or apples, buttermilk or yogurt, etc. Being a vegetarian doesn't mean eating salad at every meal. Variety makes it not only more likely that you are getting enough nutrients, but also helps you stick to a lifestyle change. Subscribe to a vegetarian cooking magazine or blog. Check out a vegetarian cookbook from the library. Shop at your local farmers' market and ask the vendors for vegetarian recipe recommendations. Visit an ethnic restaurant in your neighborhood that you've never tried and sample some vegetarian dishes. Purchase prepared foods from your local health food store's deli or simply peruse them for inspiration. Researchers agree that healthy diets, whether they are plant-centric or not, consist of preparing more of your own meals so you know what goes into them; avoiding processed food and beverages; drinking enough water; and being mindful of how much you eat and how your food makes you feel.
Summary: Start small and ramp up. Explore and practice substitutions. Avoid boredom in your diet. Follow general scientific guidelines for good health.

Problem: Article: One way to treat CAD is to reduce exposure to environmental allergens. For some dogs, this will mean avoiding cut grass, or staying indoors during peak pollen season. When your Golden Retriever does need to go outside, wipe it down with a wet cloth afterwards to remove the pollen from its fur and skin. Keeping your Golden Retriever inside all the time may make it get antsy and hyper, though, so this method may not be practical for every dog. Pay special attention to wiping off your Golden Retriever's paws. Your dog could lick its paws or touch another part of its body with the paws and trigger an allergic reaction. Reducing exposure can be effective if your vet identified the specific 'culprit' allergen. Without knowing the specific allergen, reducing exposure would be very difficult. If your Golden Retriever is allergic to dust or dust mites, several avoidance strategies are available. For example, dust and vacuum your home frequently (at least once a week). In addition, wash your Golden Retriever's bedding in hot water regularly. Changing your air filters regularly, according to product instructions, will also help keep dust out of the air in your home. Other strategies to reduce exposure to dust and dust mites are: Placing a plastic cover over your dog's bed Using the air conditioner when it's hot outside Keeping your Golden Retriever in non-carpeted rooms, such as the kitchen Keeping your Golden Retriever out of recently vacuumed areas Not giving your Golden Retriever stuffed toys to play with, since they could accumulate dust Mold is another common allergen associated with CAD. If your Golden Retriever is allergic to mold, consider using dehumidifiers, which reduce humidity in the air. Dehumidifiers are available at home supply stores. Also, avoid having houseplants, since the soil of potted plants can get moldy. Keeping your Golden Retriever out of the basement and avoiding dusty pet foods can also reduce mold exposure. If you do have house plants, put activated charcoal on the soil to prevent mold development. Look for activated charcoal at your local gardening store. Clean your dehumidifiers according to the product's instructions. Cleaning them will help them work more effectively.
Summary:
Limit your Golden Retriever's time outside. Minimize exposure to dust and dust mites. Reduce mold levels in your home.
