In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a deep pot that's large enough to accommodate all your pieces of copper wire. Set the pot on the stovetop and set the heat to high.

Use thick gloves when handling hot metal.
Summary: Fill a large pot up with water. Boil the copper wire in water for 10 minutes.

If you and your ex both like the same local coffee shop, they might not be there to see you. However, if your ex never had an interest in art before your breakup but shows up at every art opening, they're probably coming in the hopes of running into you. If you're still following them on social media, scroll through their recent postings to see what's going on in their life. Notice if they seem happy or sad. Additionally, see if they appear to have moved on or might be stuck in the past. For instance, a post like, "Really miss the good times I used to have with a certain someone" or "The last few days have been hard" might mean they're thinking about you. On the other hand, if they're posting pics of them with a new partner, they might be moving on. It's normal for your ex to occasionally react to 1 of your posts. However, your ex might still be interested if they're liking most of your posts or going back to like old posts. Track how often they interact with your social media account to see if they might still care about you. For instance, it might not mean anything if your ex likes a post about you getting a new car. However, they probably still like you if they like every photo you post of yourself. If your ex likes old photos of you together, it's very likely that they still like you. When you run into your ex, watch their reaction to see if it's positive, neutral, or negative. Look at their facial expressions and their body language to help you figure out how they feel. For instance, let's say your ex smiles really big and comes over to say, "Hi! How's it going?" This might be a sign they still like you.

For example, ask them to help you with a homework assignment or ask them to help you host a party for a mutual friend. If your ex is super friendly and helpful, they might do you the favor even if they don't like you. Normally, you give each other back your personal belongings after a break up. If your ex keeps some of your stuff, it might be a sign they still like you. Check to see if you got all of your things back from them. For instance, your ex might keep 1 of your shirts so they can smell your scent. Similarly, they might keep an old DVD of a movie you watched together a lot. If the item is valuable, your ex might just be trying to keep it for its value. As an example, don't let them keep your mp3 player.
