INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if the waitress at the restaurant is really good looking, it isn't the best time or place. You can get a lot of mixed signals because she may feel obligated to be nice to a customer, but really wants nothing to do with you. It's best just to avoid any confusion. Go somewhere that suits your personality. Not only are you more likely to get a girl who shares your interests, but you will feel more comfortable approaching or talking to them in a familiar environment. These may seem like places that you can easily find women to talk to, but you have know what you're getting yourself into. Play it smart! Bars have plenty of women, but drinking may be a coping mechanism that men and women alike use for serious issues. It could be a bad breakup, losing a job, or being depressed. Just be conscientious of unhealthy drinking habits. The internet is always a risky proposition to get girls. It takes a while to know whether someone can live up to their social media profile. While work presents many opportunities to communicate with girls, always be cautious when getting involved with a co-worker. If things go bad between the two of you, it could make for an awkward work environment.

SUMMARY: Don't hit on girls who are at work. Find girls at popular places like malls, gyms, coffee shops and bookstores. Be wary when meeting girls at bars, the internet and work.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you've determined that you have a potentially workable idea, you need to learn as much as you can about what the market currently for your product or service is like, if it's changing, and how you can fit into it.You've already done your initial survey of the market, but now you need to dive in deeper. If you're hoping to sell your jam, get out there and talk to vendors and shop-owners about where they get their merchandise and how much business it brings in for them. For example, see if the vendors at the farmers' market are willing to talk to you about their experiencesare they able to make a full-time living selling their goods, or is this a hobby or side business? Perhaps you've identified a number of local shops that are willing to sell locally produced items; you'll want to learn about what their best-selling items are, or if they sell less of particular items at certain times of the year. For example, do they see spikes in sales around the holidays, but a big drop-off in January? You want to try to find out how steady your sales might be. You should be able to find even more detailed information for the demand for your product or service by studying the results of the government's Economic Census, which is conducted every five years. Business owners are asked about their sales, number of employees, business expenses and types of products, among other things. You can find the results of the most recent Economic Census online, and customize your search to learn as much as possible about your area of business, the market for it, and your community in particular. A great way for you to learn as much as possible about what your potential consumers or audience want and need is to interview them and ask them specific questions. For example, see if customers at the farmer's market are willing to complete a survey or be interviewed about their buying habits and preferencesperhaps in exchange for a free sample of your product. Besides interviewing people directly, you can also reach people you think would buy or benefit from your idea by mailing them surveys to complete. If you do this, be sure to include a return envelope with pre-paid postage. Depending upon your audience, you may get better results by conducting telephone or email surveys. You can also direct people to a web-based survey by using social media like Twitter or Facebook. Make sure that whatever methods you choose to learn about your audience's needs and wants, you take the time to compose detailed, specific questions for your survey. For example, if you want to sell your jam, be sure to ask who typically buys jam in the house-hold, and who it is bought for (is it for their kids, for example?). Ask what their favorite flavors are, whether there are other flavors they'd like to try but have never found, and how much they are willing to spend. Ask them as well about what they like about their current brand: the color, the consistency, the company that makes it, etc. It's also important that you try to determine how much of a share your top competitors have, and how long they've held on to that position. This can let you know whether you'll realistically be able to take a significant portion of the market for yourself. For example, if you learn that a local company dominates the jam market and if the results of your interviews and surveys have shown that customers are very loyal to that brand, you may want to consider moving on to your next great idea. If you haven't already, be sure to use the information from the most recent Economic Census. Once you understand how your competitors fit into the market, you should be able to estimate how you'll be able to fit in. You want the results of your feasibility study to outline, with as specific of numbers and percentages as possible, how you'll fit in and how you'll likely grow over time. For example, will you be able to serve the 10% of people who indicated that they would prefer an organic jam option? What will that translate to in terms of how much jam you'll have to produce?
Summary: Learn about the market. Use data from the Economic Census. Survey people directly. Conduct market surveys by other means. Design your surveys carefully. Analyze the competition's claim on the market. Identify your potential share of the market.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don't want to end up watching a horror movie all by yourself. Even though you logically know it isn't real, it can still deeply scare you if your mind gets too involved. If horror movies truly scare you, only watch with friends. Try not to watch with the types of friends who'll use your fear against you later by jumping out of closets and grabbing you from behind. What you can't see or hear can't hurt you. When you can't stand what's on the screen, close your eyes and put your head in your lap and press your hands over your ears. If you want to ensure that you won't open your eyes too soon, have a friend poke you when it's safe to look. Again, do not employ a trickster type who will intentionally poke you right when a violent stabbing is occurring. No one is forcing you to watch the movie (hopefully), so just get up and leave if you hate it. Wait in a well-lit room for the thing to end so you don't have to endure another second. If you hate horror movies so much that you can't stand to watch them, that's nothing to be ashamed of. It just means you're sensitive to pain and violence and have great empathy for your fellow humans. Tell this to your friends if they give you a hard time.

SUMMARY:
Make sure your friends don't leave the room. Cover your eyes and ears when necessary. Have a "safe" signal with a friend. Leave if you really aren't enjoying it.
