In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you know your crush well enough and communicate via email or social media, you can ask for her number while talking online. Asking in person works just as well, but requires a bit more self confidence. Bring it up during conversation. Being direct is a good thing, but time your directness to be more effective. Try to let the question appear organic in the conversation. Ask her out. If she is interested on going on a date, then ask for her phone number. If you have a good reason to ask for her number, she is more likely to comply. Use the circumstances in your life to figure out an appropriate excuse. Focus on circumstances the two of you share to make the act more organic. A shared class is a great starting point. If the two of you are in the same group for a project, ask for her number so that you can arrange a meet-up for a project outside of class. Likewise, if you have trouble with a particular topic that your crush excels at, ask your crush if she might be willing to help you with your homework over the phone. Work is another great place to get a phone number organically. Ask for her number if you need someone to check the schedule for you. Alternatively, ask for her number in case she needs a ride to work in the rain. If you feel bold and confident about the possibility that your crush might have similar feelings, you could offer your phone number directly without an excuse. Nothing beats being straight to the point on matters of romance. Stay cool and confident. Make a simple statement: give your phone number and tell your crush to text you if he or she feels like it. If your feelings are mutual, your crush will probably give you her number in exchange. If you and your crush are already flirtatious with each other, you can ask for your crush's number in the midst of flirting. Say something simple like, "I'll give you my number if you give me yours." Keep the mood lighthearted to avoid putting too much pressure or tension on the situation. As before, you should avoid using your crush's number that same night you get it. If you are too zealous about sending the first text or placing the first phone call, you might scare the apple of your eye away. If you used a specific excuse to get your crush's number, your first call or text should be made with that excuse in mind. If you did not have an excuse when you asked, however, you can call or text whenever you have something to say.
Summary: Ask in person or online. Think of a good excuse. Be direct about seeing her. Give it time.

Although not quite as effective as the paper funnel method, this method utilizes the same approach: lure the fruit flies into the trap with a small opening and make it hard for them to exit. The type of bait doesn't matter as much as the quantity; you probably want at least an inch of sweet liquid covering the bottom of the bowl. Here are some suggestions for sweet concoctions that work well as bait: Put a piece of old, skinless fruit, such as an orange or a banana, along with some balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Experiment with a mix of white wine and coriander seeds. This mixture seems to work well. Add a bit of white wine vinegar to make the concoction even more pungent. A mix of honey, sugar, and balsamic vinegar also works in a pinch. Use a large sheet of plastic wrap to completely cover the bowl. Try to get the plastic wrap as taught as possible. Try to keep the holes as small as possible; large holes can let the flies escape back out again. The point is to lure the fruit flies into the bowl and make it extremely hard to get back out. If using a fork makes the holes in the plastic wrap too big, try switching to a sharp toothpick in order to prick small holes in the plastic wrap. Come the next day, you should see fruit flies caught inside the plastic wrap, happily feasting on the bait. If you haven't managed to trap any flies, check to make sure the holes in your plastic wrap aren't too big. It's probably best to take the trap outside before killing the fruit flies so that any escapees don't reinfest your kitchen. Take off the plastic wrap and kill the fruit flies inside by pouring a mixture of warm water and dish soap into the container. The soap works to reduce the surface tension of the water and cause the flies to drown. Wait a minute or two, then discard the contents of the jar. When you're finished flushing the fruit flies, rinse the jar with hot water and reuse it to make a new trap.

Problem: Article: Studies have shown that taking horse chestnut seed extract orally can reduce the symptoms of vein problems like venous insufficiency after 2-16 weeks. Ask your doctor if it is safe to take this supplement. Follow the prescribed dose and contact your doctor if you experience any side effects, such as gastrointestinal distress or dizziness. Buy horse chestnut seed extract at pharmacies, health stores, or online. Vasodilator medications can increase blood flow through the vessels, improving your circulation. Ask your doctor if you can take one of these medicines as part of a vein repair treatment plan. A combination of compression therapy and medicine often proves effective. Nitroglycerin and alprostadil are popular prescription vasodilators. Always take these medications exactly as they are prescribed. Sclerotherapy involves inserting a small needle into varicose veins to inject them with substances like glycerin or hypertonic saline. This will collapse the varicose veins, reducing their physical appearance as well as the discomfort caused by them. Talk to your doctor about this treatment to see if it is right for you. Results can usually be observed 3-6 weeks after the treatment. Your doctor will usually book a follow-up appointment about a month after the sclerotherapy procedure to see if another session is needed. In some cases, varicose veins may return after this treatment. Endovenous thermal ablation is a procedure that uses a laser or high-frequency radio waves to target damaged veins. The heat emitted shuts off the vein from the rest of the circulatory system without collapsing it. Talk to your doctor about this procedure if you want a long-term treatment option with minimal pain or healing time. This treatment leaves the closed off veins in place, resulting in very little bruising or bleeding. Most patients with vein problems do not need surgery to repair them, but the option still exists. If your veins are severely damaged, ask your doctor if surgery may be right for you. Your doctor might suggest: Ligation and stripping, where a vascular surgeon will cuts and ties off your problem veins, or remove them. Micro-incision phlebectomy, where a surgeon will make small incisions or punctures in your veins and remove the problem ones with a phlebectomy hook. Vein bypass, where a piece of healthy vein is transplanted to reroute blood flow around a damaged vein.
Summary:
Speak to your doctor about taking horse chestnut seed extract. Ask your doctor about taking medicine to treat damaged veins. Ask your doctor about sclerotherapy to treat small varicose veins. Talk to your doctor about thermal ablation to close off problem veins. Discuss your surgical options if all else fails.
