Q: Often it's as easy as making eye contact and smiling to get a girl to smile back. If it doesn't work, keep trying, and you might get a smile yet. You might even try a sillier smile to see if it might make her laugh. Smiling is a good way to open up a conversation, because it makes both you and her happier. When you smile, it literally changes chemicals in your brain, making you feel happier, and smiles are catching. That means, when someone sees a smile, they want to smile, too, making them happier. Ask questions about her and what she likes. Find things you have in common. By discovering what you both like, she might see you in a different way than before. And she'll smile because it shows that you enjoy talking to her. It also sets you up with ideas of what to do in the future. You can also ask her about how her day/weekend went, how her classes are going, etc. Even if she had a bad day, asking her about it would show that you care. Everyone likes to hear nice things about themselves, and so, a compliment is sure to make her smile. The best compliments are sincere, which means you really mean it. Take a moment to study her, so you can tell her what you really do like about her. You don't have to stick to looks. You can also compliment her brains, her brilliant smile, or her sparkling wit. For example, you could say, "The dress looks good on you!" You could also say, "You know, you're really smart! You always seem to have the right answer in class." Another option is, "You have the best hair! I love how wavy it is." Don't get too carried away. If she looks uncomfortable, then stop.
A: Smile at her. Talk to her. Compliment her.

Q: If there's something you want to learn and would benefit from an instructor or routine, sign up for an online course. Sites like https://www.edx.org/ and https://www.thegreatcourses.com/ have excellent college level classes available to anyone and most of them are free.
A: Take courses online if you want more structure.

Q: Spray a 9in 9in (23cm 23cm) square pan, a 9 by 5 inches (23cm 13cm) loaf pan, or a 9in (23cm) round pan with baking spray and then cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Try to use a metal cake pan since this conducts heat better than glass or ceramic. If you'd like to make plain cupcakes, put muffin liners into 16 to 18 cavities of a muffin tin. Put the cake on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake it for 45 minutes. The cake should become a rich golden color and start to pull away from the edges once it's baked. Since everyone's oven is a little different, it may take your oven more time to bake the cake, so don't worry if it needs up to 15 more minutes. You can also insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake to see if it's done. The tester should come out clean and if it doesn't, bake the cake for a few more minutes before you check it again. If you're making plain cupcakes, check them after 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and wear oven mitts to take the cake out. Set the pan on a wire rack and leave the cake to cool completely before you take it out of the pan. You don't need to worry about the cake sticking to the pan since the parchment is on the bottom.
A: Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and line a 9in (23cm) pan. Bake the plain cake for 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the cake and cool it on a wire rack for 1 hour.

Q: your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176.6 degrees Celsius. Line 27 cupcake tins into each hole. Stir mixture round and round, making sure the ingredients have been blended together. Whisk again, but a bit harder to beat the eggs well. If needed, use a hand blender to give the mix a better stir. This time, you may need a hand blender or even an electric mixer. Start blending on medium speed, mixing round and round to make cupcake batter creamy. Keep blending for about thirty seconds. Add crushed Oreos. Set batter aside. Use an ice cream scoop to pour batter into each tin. You should fill it about halfway up. Bake the cupcakes for about 15-20 minutes or until cupcakes start to puff up and poking a toothpick inside comes out clean.
A:
Preheat Place three muffin or cupcake tin on your cooking space. Whisk all the dry ingredients (except for the smashed Oreos) into a large bowl. While whisking add the oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour boiling water or brewed coffee. Add cupcake batter in cupcake tin. Bake the cupcakes. Set cupcakes aside to cool on a wire rack or plate.
