INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One way to begin your move is to signal that you are indeed interested. Your friend may not realize it, and she may share your feelings and have no idea that you feel the same way. Talk openly about your dating life. Perhaps even ask your friend about hers. You will have to change the way that she sees you, and to show her that you are looking for a relationship. If you have known each other for a while, you should already have some idea of what your friend likes, dislikes, does for fun, and looks for in others. Deepen your interest in her. Ask her about her activities. Does she like tennis? Didn't she know that you do too? Perhaps you could play a match together sometime? Focus on activities that you share with an eye to demonstrating your compatibility. Scientific studies show that flirting signalling interest and availability often trumps physical attractiveness. Start slowly. Smile, make eye contact, joke, perhaps even lightly touch your friend on the arm. But don't come out too strong or too physically. After all, your aim is to signal your interest and at the same time put your friend at ease. Even if you are flirting, always keep your friend's level of comfort in mind. The worst possible thing you can do is to put her off by coming on too strongly. Laughter is usually a good social lubricant; make her laugh and show by your behavior and demeanor that you are a fun person, and that you enjoy her company. Try to be your old lighthearted self - the one that she knows so well - and not let the pressures of the situation make you too serious. After you have weighed the decision, signaled your interest, and tested the waters, it is at last time to take the leap: ask your friend out. Keep in mind that you will have to be upfront about what you are asking so that there is no ambiguity. This is a date, not just a friendly get-together. The best way is to ask her in person. This will let you see her body language and reaction and help you to modify your behavior in turn. You may be more comfortable asking over the phone, by message, or through a third person, and these are all valid options. But keep in mind that face to face contact, however scary, is more personal and friendly.

SUMMARY: Plant the seed. Deepen your interest. Flirt. Make her feel comfortable. Ask for a date.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may be on a diet, but you still need to eat regularly to maintain a healthy metabolism and overall health. Many diet and fitness experts warn against skipping meals while on a diet. You should be eating a minimum of three meals a day, plus a snack or two. Even better, you might prefer to eat five to six small meals daily, which can stimulate your metabolism and keep you from ever getting too hungry. It is important to space out your meals throughout the day. Try to avoid going more than four hours without eating. This will keep your blood sugar and hormones more stable, and you will be less likely to have hunger pangs. A major drop in blood sugar from not eating can cause cravings and an intense desire to eat, which can make it difficult to stick to a diet. Both protein and fiber have been shown to make you feel more satisfied with less food and keep you satisfied longer. Protein and fiber take a longer time to digest compared to other foods (like refined carbohydrates). This helps them to keep satisfied for several hours after your meal. Try to eat a protein bar or shake with at least 20 mg of protein. To make a more satisfying meal, combine protein-based foods with high fiber foods. For example: oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit, greek yogurt and raspberries, vegetable and bean soup, or grilled chicken over a salad. Some foods help keep you feeling satisfied longer. Whole foods, or those that are less processed, typically make you feel satisfied longer. Processed foods are quickly digested and may leave you feeling more hungry compared to whole, unprocessed foods. Candy, chips or other foods high in sugar and fat, but low in nutrition, will leave you feeling hungry sooner than less processed foods. Try to make most of your meals mostly whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Certain types of exercise, such as high-intensity interval training, can suppress your appetite. In addition, studies have shown that regular exercise helps your brain make better decisions throughout your day or week. When you need to deal with food temptations, hunger cravings or emotional eating, regular exercise helps strengthen the executive function of your brain. Cardio is a great exercise to include, but also things like yoga can help people deal with issues in regard to emotional eating. Try to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week, plus 40 minutes of strength training. Mindful eating is a way of eating that may help you deal with your hunger more easily. It helps bring your attention to your food and may help increase your overall satisfaction with your meals. When you're eating, take your time. If you eat too fast you may end up eating too much and feeling like you still want more food. You didn't give your brain enough time to actually enjoy the meal. Force yourself to focus on your meal. What are the tastes? The textures? How does it look? When you force your brain to concentrate on the meal it might make it easier to eat a little less and feel satisfied with less.
Summary: Avoid skipping meals. Eat foods high in fiber and protein. Eat foods that help you maintain energy levels. Exercise regularly. Eat mindfully.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For many children of traditional parents, marrying is only an option the parents will consider once the child's college or career education is complete, and a steady (and respectable) job has been held by the child for at least 1-2 years. Approaching them with the idea of marriage before you graduate can understandably feel like you're endangering their hard work. Waiting, in that case, is best. Belittling them, comparing your behavior to theirs, and otherwise insulting them will not change their mind and is not your role as a respectful and loving child. First, ask your parents how they feel, what they like, what they don't like in the current situation, and what they expect you to do. Be silent until they finish explaining what they think about the situation. "I'd like to hear what you think about all this." Once they finish explaining, they will definitely ask some questions to you (and the girl, if she is present in the room) in terms of how to approach this whole thing, finances, your future, and other general topicsall of which you should try to answer. The temptation to avoid answering their questions might be strong, especially if you find you have not thought through an issue they raise or if you do not yet have an answer you like. You can always return to the conversation, but try to answer fully and be honest about where you struggle with their questions. If their explanation presents another situation that gives a feasible solution for everyone, then take it up. Don't keep your feelings or relationship a secret. Hiding a serious relationship from your family can be quite painful for them and suggest to them that you do not trust or respect them. Wouldn't you feel the same if they had hidden some tremendously important relationship from you? Unless you have a strong reason for not telling them (for example, you have not yet graduated from the college they are paying for), you should be honest with your parents sooner, rather than later.

SUMMARY:
Consider the timing. Don't criticize them. Allow them to tell you what they think and give you advice. Be open.
