Problem: Article: While it's never fun to be rejected, you have to take it in stride, especially if you want to stay friends with the girl. Even if she isn't as polite as she could be, be the bigger person and accept the rejection. Just end the conversation with a simple, "Okay, I'll talk to you later," or something like that. When you see her afterwards, just smile and say hi. Don't bring up the rejection again, at least for a while. She made her decision and you'll only pester her if you keep bringing it up. Never insult or threaten her. It's this girl's right to decide who she wants to date, and she doesn't deserve to be insulted because she rejected your advances. Getting rejected always hurts, and it's normal to feel bad about it. Don't try to suppress your feelings of disappointment, but rather allow yourself a few days to get those feelings out. After you go through this grieving process, you can get back to building your confidence. Everyone grieves at their own pace, and it's normal to feel sad for a while. If you can't seem to get over it or are feeling depressed for some time, however, you might be suffering from some psychological issues. Consider talking to a guidance counselor or mental health professional to get the help you need. Things always seem more serious than they really are when they first happen. It might seem like this rejection is a huge deal, but think about it a little more. How much does getting rejected for a date impact your life? Probably not too much. Remember that this rejection doesn't mean anything about you as a person. You're not a bad or undesirable person because one girl didn't accept your advances. All the good qualities you had are still a part of you. Once you realize that, moving on is much easier. Any time you're feeling down, doing nothing just makes it worse. This allows your brain to dwell on the problem. Instead, distract your brain. Watch a movie, go outside and walk or ride your bike, go to the mall with friends; anything you enjoy and that will keep your mind busy. It especially helps to do activities you're good at. This will help rebuild your confidence. For example, if you're great at basketball, go play a pickup game at the park. Your good performance on the court will help help improve your mood and confidence level. If you're still hurt, you won't be able to focus on being a friend. You'll still be wondering why she rejected you, what's wrong with you, etc. This could result in you lashing out or acting angry at her. It's much better to work on getting over the rejection first before moving on, or you could cause unnecessary heartache for yourself.
Summary: Be polite as she rejects you. Allow yourself to be sad for a little while. Put the rejection in perspective. Get your mind off the rejection with other activities. Try to be her friend only after you've gotten over the rejection.

Problem: Article: This statement tracks the sources and uses of cash by the company. Title this page "Statement of Cash Flows" and list the organization's name and the period of time the statement will cover. Similar to the income statement, the statement of cash flows covers a period of time, such as January 1 to December 31. The statement of cash flows begins with a section you should title "Cash Flows from Operating Activities." This section corresponds to the income statement you already prepared. List the operating activities of the organization. This may include items such as cash receipts from sales and cash paid for inventory. Subtotal these items and label the resulting total "Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities." Add a section titled "Cash Flows from Investing Activities." This section corresponds to the balance sheet already prepared. This section relates to cash paid or received from investments in property and equipment, or investments in securities, such as stocks and bonds. Add a subtotal called "Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities." The last section of this page should be titled "Cash Flows from Financing Activities." This section relates to the equity portion of the balance sheet. This section should shows inflows and outflows from securities and debt issued by the organization. Add a subtotal called "Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities." Sum the three categories in the statement of cash flows, and label this number as the "Increase or Decrease in Cash" during the period. You can add the increase or decrease in cash to the cash balance at the beginning of the period. The sum of these two numbers should equal the cash balance shown on your balance sheet. Financial reports often include a section called "Notes to the Financial Statements," which contain significant information about the company. Consider what additional information about the finances of the organization would be most useful to include in the "Notes" and then add this information to your report. The notes might contain information about company history, future plans or industry information. This is your opportunity to explain to investors what the report means and what it shows or doesn't show. It can help potential investors see the company through your eyes. Typically, the notes also include an explanation of accounting practices and procedures used by the company and explanations of balance sheet captions. This section also often includes details about the company's tax situation, pension plans, and stock options.
Summary: Set up your cash flows statement page. Create an operating activities section. Create an investing activities section. Include financing activities. Sum up the categories. Add any important notes or narrative.

Problem: Article: Invite them to chat over a coffee or lunch. Keep the situation casual, so your friend feels comfortable talking to you openly. You can email, call, or text, but people are more likely to fully understand this conversation, if you conduct it face-to-face where they can see your body language and facial expressions. Make sure you're able to meet one-on-one. You don't want to embarrass your friend. Send an email, text, or call and say something like, "Do you have some time to meet and talk this weekend?" If you want to give them a heads up on what the conversation is about, you can say something like, "Can we meet up Friday to talk about that loan I gave you a few months ago?" If you want to make sure your friend is comfortable, let them pick the location. Say something like, "I wanted to talk about that loan I gave you awhile back. Can we meet at your place or somewhere close by to talk about that this week?" In some cases, your friend really may have forgotten about the money owed to you. Start by reminding them about the loan. You can say something like, "I was happy to give you that money last month to help out, but I was hoping you could pay me back before my rent is due." This reminds them that the money was given and acknowledges that the money was a loan, in case they had misinterpreted the loan as a gift. If the gentle reminder doesn't produce an apology and offer of repayment, address the issue head on. Sometimes, phrasing your request for repayment as a question can soften the blow. Try saying something like, "Do you know when you'll be able to pay me back?" Insist on a precise answer to your direct question. Responses like, "I hope to get it back to you in the next few months," are not adequate. If your friend avoids responding or responds vaguely, push them to set a deadline. You can say something like, "I'm understanding the next few months as meaning no later than three months from today. Can we agree to that?" The longer you allow your friend to avoid payment, the less likely you are to have the loan repaid. Additionally, if you end up needing to take legal action, letting the loan go unpaid for significant periods of time beyond the original repayment date indicates to the court that you may not have expected repayment.
Summary:
Set up a meeting in person. Remind them kindly. Be direct. Avoid letting the loan go unpaid.
