Problem: Article: A good relationship will flourish when you have common interests and do things together. You might go snowboarding together or join a language class. Your relationship will last longer when you commit to doing active and interesting things together. Although you and your boyfriend have common interests, you also have your own interests. In a successful relationship, both partners will make an effort to do each other's favorite activities from time to time. A good boyfriend will pay attention to you, not his phone. It's okay to check messages once in a while, but if he is constantly checking sports scores or social media updates from friends, his attention is wandering away from you. A gentle reminder to put away his phone may be warranted, but if you have to constantly remind him, there might be a larger conversation about why he is choosing to ignore you. Make sure you also turn off your phone. He needs to feel like you're paying attention to him too. A good boyfriend will be affectionate with you by being physically close and cuddling. Your physical chemistry is important for long-term happiness, so good sex is definitely important. But it's also important to be affectionate with hand-holding or snuggling while watching a movie.
Summary: Cultivate some common interests. Do each other's favorite activities. Make sure he turns off his phone. Get affectionate with each other.

Problem: Article: You can usually adjust the spring tension in a torque wrench by turning a screw located midway up the wrench's handle with a screwdriver. Hang the 20 pounds (9.1kg) weight from the torque wrench at your first mark and see if it clicks. If it doesn't, tighten the spring by turning the screw clockwise, then lift the weight and lower it again to test it. Repeat this process until the torque wrench clicks using the known weight. Be sure to lift the weight off the wrench and lower it again to test for clicking each time. Listen for a click from the torque wrench as you hang the weight from the marked point on the handle. If you hear one, lift the weight off the handle and set it down again further up the neck, moving toward the head of the wrench. Keep repeating this process until you stop hearing the click. Be sure to lift the weight off and set it down again each time. Do not slide it up the handle. If you don't hear a click from the torque wrench as you place the weight on it, move the weight down the handle of the wrench until you do hear one. Start by moving the weight an inch or so at a time. It's okay to move up and down the handle of the wrench more than once as you look for the point in which it starts to click. Once you find the point in which the handle transitions from clicking to not, mark it on the wrench with your pen. Be sure to mark the point exactly, so you may need to make multiple attempts at identifying where it is by moving the weight up and down the handle. The part of the handle where it begins or stops clicking is called the transition point. Use the measuring tape to find the distance from the square drive to the transition point you identified using the weight. Record that number on a piece of paper and set it aside. A measurement of 26 inches (66cm) will be used for this example, but yours may be different. Be careful not to confuse this number with the figure you recorded in step 2. You may want to test finding the transition point more than once to be sure you have the correct number. If the transition point of the torque wrench with 20 pounds (9.1kg) was at 26 inches (66cm), for instance, multiple that by 20 pounds (9.1kg) to determine the amount of torque actually applied: so 26 inches (66cm) times 20 pounds (9.1kg) equals 520 inch (1,000cm) pounds, or 50 foot (15.2m) pounds (520 divided by 12 inches (30cm)). The equation is the same as before: measurement length times weight, divided by 12. If you are unable to adjust the torque wrench, you can still use it pretty accurately if you adjust the settings you use on the wrench to compensate for the difference. Divide your first measurement by the transition point (in this case, 24 divided by 26, which equals .923). Whenever you need to use the torque wrench, multiply the correct torque by this number. Multiplying your intended torque by the difference will give you the correct setting for your specific torque wrench. This solution can keep you working, but the wrench will still need to be calibrated.
Summary: Adjust the torque wrench using the weight. Move the weights up the handle if you hear a click. Lower the weights if you don't hear a click. Mark the point of transition. Measure from the square drive to the point of transition. Calculate the applied torque. Correct for the difference you identify.

Problem: Article: If you're in a relationship with a player, you're probably not the only woman he's seeing. Making your relationship public will make it easier for his lies to be exposed to both you and the other women, and for that reason, he'll usually reject the idea of being public about it. The way he treats you in public will be one good indication. If he refuses to treat you with any special affection or treats you just as affectionately as other women, it might be his way of keeping your relationship a secret. To that end, he might also avoid spending time with you in certain places if he thinks there's a better chance of being caught there. Check social media accounts, too. If he refuses to be "friends" or "followers" with you, or if he never responds to any public comments you make toward him, it could be a sign that he's trying to hide your relationship. Refusing to update his "relationship status" might be another social media clue. Try to spend time with his friends. Most players won't want you anywhere near their friends, and it won't be because they're afraid of another man stealing you away. If he lets you meet his friends, he takes the risk that someone within the group will slip and reveal information about his true self. If you do meet his friends, watch his behavior around them. Some players will drop their guard and show their true colors when they're hanging around their buddies. Invite him to meet your friends and family. Since a player isn't serious about you, he will usually refuse such offers or make excuses to get out of them at the last minute. Moreover, friends and relatives with a keen eye might be able to spot a player when they see one. A player who agrees to meet your loved ones would have to take the risk of being discovered by someone like that. Ask around about the guy and find out if there are any rumors about him. People in his own social circle might cover for him, but anyone who isn't attached to him won't have a need to do so. Ask your close friends to do their own investigating on your behalf, as well. They probably have a few connections you don't have, and one of those connections might have helpful information. You could even consider talking with the guy's ex-girlfriends, but do so with caution. Some exes will intentionally paint a bad picture as an act of revenge. Additionally, an ex-girlfriend who believes that you "stole" the guy away from her may take out her negative feelings on you. Players lack respect for you, but that's because they lack respect for everyone. It can be difficult to tell when a guy is disrespecting you, but it'll probably be easier to detect disrespect he shows toward others. Pay particular attention to the way he treats and talks about other women. Even disrespect he shows toward female relatives can indicate an overall sense of disrespect toward women in general. Watch how he treats workers at the places you visit, too. Players may relish in the authority they have over these staff members.
Summary:
Take it public. Get to know the friends. Introduce your own family and friends. Ask for opinions. Watch how others are treated.
