Problem: How to pursue romance if you suffer from depression
Make new friends.
If you're intimidated by the idea of asking strangers out or going out on dates with people you don't know well, you can take a more casual approach to dating. Instead of actively looking for someone to date, focus on making lots of friends. OPTIONS:
- Make sure to reach out to people when you do want to date. For example, call up a friend you haven't talked to in a while or make a point of saying hello to them.
- This will give you the opportunity to interact with people in a less stressful way, and it may lead to a romantic relationship. If you need help making new friends, try joining a club or social group.
- Join a dance club or some other social activity, if possible. Also, join a school dance troupe or band.
- Say, " i couldn't stop thinking about you. Do you have a family who'd be willing to hang out with me for a night? " you're more likely to strike up a conversation with people you like if you're comfortable with the idea.

Answer: This will give you the opportunity to interact with people in a less stressful way, and it may lead to a romantic relationship. If you need help making new friends, try joining a club or social group.

Problem: How to check your weight when dieting
Find a good scale.
Invest in a good quality scale. You will want to use the same scale every time you weigh yourself, so find something that works well. OPTIONS:
- You may have difficulty weighing yourself every day, so try to use one with a thicker surface or something that is stronger than your body weight. Bathroom scales, which often use weights between 10 and 30, weigh you gently.
- It should not be one that measures your body mass. Ideally, start with this scale while you're already weighing yourself, or at least it will be a little bit more difficult to see your weight.
- Measure your shoulder height, which should be 3-4 inches (7.6-10.2 cm). Weigh yourself for the same number of pounds per day.
- You can find scales that measure not only your weight but also your body fat, body mass, body water percentages and even your local weather forecast. Find a scale that meets your dieting and budget needs.

Answer: You can find scales that measure not only your weight but also your body fat, body mass, body water percentages and even your local weather forecast. Find a scale that meets your dieting and budget needs.

Problem: How to butterfly a chicken
Place the chicken on your cutting board.
The chicken should be breast-side down, with the backbone facing up.
Cut along both sides of the backbone. OPTIONS:
- Cut along the backbone until you reach the heart. The heart of your chicken is the 1 inch (2.5 cm) rib on both sides of the chicken.
- This should leave the pectoral fin intact, thus giving the chicken a rounded and slightly feathered look. You can either snip the chicken shut, or simply trim its legs.
- Start on one side at the bottom cavity and cut a straight path to the top cavity. Make the same cut on the other side of the backbone.
- Make sure to make a cut no deeper than 4 inches (10 cm). The backbone makes the cut easier and deeper, and prevents bleeding.
Answer: Start on one side at the bottom cavity and cut a straight path to the top cavity. Make the same cut on the other side of the backbone.
