INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Conversing is a very effective way to get to know somebody and to see if they share the same interests as you do. Starting a conversation or just a quick chat will also help you know whether they are into you or not. Just don't push it. Keep it interesting! Talk to them on a regular basis making small talk, but occasionally talk about more serious things or engage in a lengthy conversation. If the conversation naturally deepens and you start to share secrets or dreams, you will bond. Listen a lot, and respond compassionately. Don't make the conversation all about you. Maybe you should go for broke. Consider it, anyway, when the time is right. Tell your crush how you really feel. Lay all your cards on the table at once. Just make sure you two are alone and that you say it as casually as possible. Try to be in the same groups if you go to the same school. Always smile at the crush but not too eagerly. Do it just enough to get them to smile back and walk over to you. Ask for his or her Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook because it's less obvious than asking for a phone number, but you'll have the details. Try to send signals verbally and through body language. These signals of interest will let the crush know (consciously or subconsciously) that you are crushing on them, and they might just catch feelings for you. Give small hints with your body language. This may happen on its own. Watch for signs that your crush is doing this too. Open up to your crush, and don't be afraid to show the person your vulnerable side. You need to let the crush know (wordlessly) that they are special. Laugh a lot. Get a little flirty. Say the person's name. People love hearing their name being said. Compliment the crush. Don't forget to be kind and awesome! Touch your crush in a flirtatious way. Not in a creepy way. Touch the crush's arm. It will show that you like the crush, but it will not make the crush think you want to date them if they do not want to. Just lightly touch their shoulder, or give them a high-five, or even a hug goodbye. Bite your lip, coyly smile when they tease you, run your fingers through your hair (always works), and blink more than usual. These things just happen. Getting someone to notice you is hard, as is keeping their attention. If you want someone to notice you, make eye contact, but not for too long. It's sort of like playing with a small pet and dangling a string in their faces. Pulling the string back and forth keeps their attention. This doesn't mean you stare at the crush constantly. That can give anyone a big creep factor. To make eye contact with a crush, you should glance at them, smile, and then put your head down or look away shyly. This will give the crush a hint that you like them without freaking them out. Eye contact also conveys confidence, which is appealing to most people because it's a way of building intimacy. People who are in love have more eye contact, studies show.

SUMMARY: Strike up a conversation. Send your crush flirtatious signals, and see if they respond. Make eye contact.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look online to find schedules for free walking tours. You can also find audio and written self-guided tours online. Tours are great if you want to learn about the bridge's history or want help identifying iconic sights. Extended platforms span across the bridge's 2 central towers. These are the best spots to take photographs, since the pedestrian walkway's narrow lanes don't offer much room to stop. You'll also find engraved plaques with information about the bridge's history and the sights visible from the promenade. Since it's tough to stop in the narrow walking lanes, the towers' extended platforms are perfect spots to rest. Take rest breaks at the 2 towers if you or anyone in your group might have trouble walking over 1 mile (1.6km) nonstop. If you need to sit, there are benches at the towers and along the route. The bridge spans 1.3 miles (2.1km), and you might work up an appetite on your hike. There are plenty of restaurant options on both sides, so grab a slice of New York-style pizza, savor a glass of wine, or indulge in an ice cream sundae. Before walking back or heading to the subway, take a tour of City Hall, explore the Financial District, or wander north to Chinatown. Other attractions within walking distance include Battery Park, the Freedom Tower's observation deck, and the Woolworth Building, which is one of America's architectural treasures. On the Brooklyn side, check out the eclectic Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighborhoods. They're packed with restaurants, shops, street art, and other vibrant attractions. Brooklyn Bridge Park is the perfect spot to lounge and admire the gorgeous bridge you've just crossed. You could also take a spin on the nearby Jane's Carousel or peruse the many nearby art galleries.

SUMMARY:
Take a guided tour to learn about the bridge's history. Take photographs at the bridge's towers. Rest at the towers if you're crossing with kids or the elderly. Grab a snack, drinks, or a meal when you reach the other side. Check out lower Manhattan if you walked from Brooklyn. Explore Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo if you came from Manhattan.
