Q: While the two of you are watching a movie or sitting at a table and working, run your fingers through her hair. The light head touching/hair messing-with will put her into a near meditative state and she will feel romantically closer to you. Gently holding her face when you kiss her will take your everyday kiss and turn it into a romantic moment for the two of you. Do this as your good-bye kiss in the morning or when she walks in the door from work. A public display of affection (PDA) can be something as regular as a hand hold or as extravagant as a kiss timed to fireworks. Cuddle up with her unexpectedly and let her melt into you. Get some oil and offer her a back massage to help her relax from a stressful day. Even if you're not able to give her the best massage she's ever had, she will love that you're trying to help her out.
A: Play with her hair. Cup her face when you kiss her. Unexpectedly show some PDA. Offer her a massage.

Q: A shorter rod length will give you greater leverage after hooking the eel, which is especially important since eels are known to be ferocious fighters. A medium power rod will also protect your rod from snapping during the eel fishing process. Use longer rods if you want to catch longer eels. You can purchase this at a bait, tackle, or outdoors store. Medium-capacity spinning reels work great for catching eels because they allow you reel in quickly without any hesitation. They are commonly used by beginner fishermen as well. When fishing for eels, you need a line that can withstand their tugging and thrashing. Go with 10lb (4.5kg) test line to give you the most secure line, though 6lb (2.7kg) and 8lb (3.6kg) line also works well for eel fishing. Select abrasion-resistant monofilament line for best results. To secure your hook, run your line through your hook, and bring the end of your line towards your hook to make a loop. Twist 5 "S" shapes around your line, and bring the end towards your hook. Push your knot through the first loop you made before the "S" twists. Then, pull your knot to tighten it. You can use hooks no.6 - no.2 if you don't have a no.4 hook. When eel fishing, you want to use a hook about the size of the eel's mouth. A cinch knot ensures your hook will not fall off the line. You want to use a tight, secure knot for eel fishing so they don't snap your line. After you secure your hook to the line, place a split shot around your line, take a pair of pliers, and pinch it into place. Add a few more split shots to your line for additional weight. Split shots help weigh your line to the bottom, which is where eels primarily swim and eat. A split shot is a small weight you crimp onto your line. Eels eat insect larvae, small minnows, dead fish--anything they can find at the bottom. When fishing for eels, nightcrawlers work best. Pierce a large nightcrawler with your hook to attach your bait. Put the worm on your hook, wrap it around, and pierce it 1-2 more times so it stays in place. You can purchase your bait at a tackle shop or find your own! You can also use oily cut-bait and chicken liver to attract eels. To further tempt the eel, leave a bit of your worm dangling from the hook.
A: Select a 611ft (1.83.4m) medium power spinning rod. Pick a medium-capacity spinning reel. Use 610lb (2.74.5kg) test line. Attach a no.4 hook to your line using a cinch knot. Crimp 2-4 split shots onto your line about 1ft (0.30m) above the hook. Use nightcrawlers as your bait and attach 1 to your hook.

Q: When receiving a gift of any kind, you should absolutely tell the giver "thank you" for it. "Thank you" is the best response you can offer no matter what you receive. Expressing thanks demonstrates your desire to accept the gift, compliment, or sentiment while still being humble about it. If simply saying "thanks" feels awkward to you, follow the phrase with a secondary phrase that continues to express gratitude. Try something like, "I appreciate the compliment," or, "That's very thoughtful of you." Your nonverbal response is just as important as your verbal response. At minimum, you should receive the vast majority of gifts with a smile. Smiling indicates happiness, and the point of any gift is to make the receiver happy. Smiling when you receive something allows the giver to know that the gift was appreciated, regardless of whether the smile is shy and polite or huge and enthusiastic. Aside from smiling, you should also do things like maintaining eye contact and leaning in toward the giver. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you should avoid crossing your arms, looking away, or appearing disinterested. If you have a hard time receiving, your natural reaction might be to deflect or reject a gift that is offered to you. Doing so is actually more likely to cause a negative reaction than receiving the gift would cause, however. Put yourself into the giver's shoes and think of how it feels when someone denies a compliment or suspiciously rejects a gift. Most people will either be saddened when they realize the receiver doesn't know his or her own value, or frustrated by the implication that the gift or sentiment was somehow dishonest. It is also possible, of course, to seem conceited when you receive something. Failing to express genuine gratitude may make you appear egotistical, which can also cause a negative response from the giver. Appearing egotistical can usually be avoided as long as you stick to the standard "thank you" script. You should still avoid following your thanks with words of self-promotion, though. For instance, if someone compliments your appearance, avoid replying with, "Thanks; I get that all the time," or, "Thanks; I know." A fair, appropriate way to demonstrate humility when you receive something like a compliment or a reward is to acknowledge others who put you into a position to receive the gift. For instance, if you receive a compliment about a project that was successfully completed as part of a team effort, tell the giver something along the lines of, "The entire team put in a lot of effort, and it wouldn't have been possible without everyone's input. Thank you for acknowledging us." Depending on the situation, it might be socially appropriate to follow up with a more formal thanks or return gift. This principle won't always apply, but following it when convention deems it appropriate can help you feel more comfortable with the gift you received. This is a big issue to consider when receiving gifts for formal occasions, like weddings and baby showers. As you receive the gift in person, a quick "thank you" is appropriate. Later on, you should also follow up with a more formal thank you note acknowledging the gift in greater detail. No matter what the circumstances are, you should never turn the practice of giving into a competition. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same action, and there is no shame in being on either side of that action. This can be especially tempting when receiving compliments. If someone compliments your work, don't return the praise by offering higher praise. For instance, you shouldn't reply with, "Thank you, but you could've done a better job." Even if you believe such a statement, it is best to accept the praise without argument.
A:
Verbalize your gratitude. Receive with open body language. Resist the urge to deny the gift. Don't get carried away. Give credit where credit is due. Follow the appropriate protocol. Avoid competing with the giver.
