INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You never know when and where a paintball will hit you. Other dangers include burns from sliding in between cover or getting scratched by branches or twigs when playing in the woods. If you are playing a game of speedball, how you look often won't matter. In woodsball, you want to wear darker, earthier tones that help you blend in with the trees, dirt, and leaves surrounding you.

SUMMARY: Cover as much skin as you can. Wear clothes that blend into your surroundings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In the United States, the term "otaku" is usually reserved for people who are hardcore anime or manga fans, but in Japan, "otaku" basically defines anyone who is a hardcore fan of any one interest. Even if the otaku girl in your life is a huge anime fan, it helps to know which series and genres she's most interested in. The Japanese concept of "otaku" is similar to the American idea of a fangirl (or fanboy), geek, or nerd. A person could be an anime otaku or game otaku, but someone could also be something like a train otaku. Anyone who loves something enough to obsess over it can be labeled as an "otaku." The American concept of "otaku" tends to be someone who is obsessed with some part of Japanese pop culture or Asian pop culture in general. Anime, manga, and computer games are the most notable obsessions, but an otaku could also obsess over J-Pop music or Korean dramas. Simply knowing the title of her favorite series isn't enough. If you really want to impress your otaku girl, you should do a little research into her favorites so that you know what they're all about. You don't need to love everything she loves, but you should have a basic enough understanding to follow along with her rants when she starts talking about one of her passions. Another advantage to your research is that you'll learn more about the type of things she loves, rather than knowing only a few examples. Most otaku girls will branch out from their original obsessions and latch onto things related to them. If you learn enough about what interests her, you may eventually be able to introduce her to something else she'd enjoy, which will definitely leave her feeling impressed with you. Take her to places that cater to her passions. Give her gifts that are related to the things she loves. Otaku girls like to be romanced, but standard "cookie cutter" actions only scratch the surface and fail to address her as an individual. Keep in mind that your gifts do not need to be expensive to make an impression. As a general rule, otaku girls tend to enjoy inexpensive merchandise related to their favorite series and characters just as well as expensive merchandise. Something as simple as a Totoro plush toy might be enough to charm a girl who loves Studio Ghibli characters. If traditional romance is your style, you can stick with it, but try putting a twist on things. Take her out for dinner and a movie, but pick an anime movie (for an anime otaku). Similarly, you can buy her jewelry, but look for jewelry connected to one of her favorite franchises. Some otaku girls might be a little embarrassed by their interests, but most don't see any shame in it. Either way, you need to show her that you don't feel embarrassed by her interests. Cutting her down for loving the things she loves is a quick way to make her push you away. Many otaku girls even enjoy the fact that their interests are somewhat obscure. After all, an obscure interest is unique, and people generally like to feel as though they're one-of-a-kind. An otaku girl is still a girl, after all, so you'll need to pamper her with occasional sweet talk. Make your compliments honest and try to be a little creative. As with everything, a compliment that addresses her as a unique individual is better than something stereotypical. Like most women, she'll want to be complimented on her appearance sometimes. Instead of saying something general--"You're really pretty"compliment something specific, like a certain feature"I love the color of your eyes"or a specific accessory"Your glasses perfectly frame your gorgeous eyes." You should also compliment her personality, as well as her appearance. Remark on her intelligence, her cheerfulness, her generosity, or any other positive feature. More specifically, know what sort of things bother her. The otaku girl is a very passionate person overall. Most of her passion is directed at things she loves, but she can be equally passionate about things she hates. Once you know what she hates, do your best to avoid it. For example, if she's picky about grammar and spelling, you probably shouldn't send her texts like, "wanna hang out??? c u l8r!!" Instead, take the time to spell things out and double-check your messages for errors. While some otaku girls can be quite extroverted, most tend to be somewhat introverted. She may not be "shy," per se, but she may not enjoy large crowds or similar settings as much as you do. Relationships require both parties to make compromises, but if you want to work your way into her heart, know when to take her out and when to let her stay in. For those girls who are extroverted, also keep in mind that certain settings may still make her uncomfortable. She might like socializing with close groups of friends, but that doesn't necessarily mean she'll enjoy going to a packed club full of strangers.

SUMMARY: Know her passions. Do your research. Impress her by acknowledging those interests. Do not look down on her or expect her to change. Compliment her. Notice her other quirks. Don't push her too far out of her comfort zone.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you first started this relationship, trust was not immediate. Trust has to be earned over time. It is natural that when trust is broken, it will take some time to repair. Try not to rush the process. Acknowledge that the other person might need time to start trusting you again. State your point. Try saying, "I know that this process might take time. I understand. Take all of the time you need." Try not to dwell on the situation. It's important, but once you have apologized and started taking steps to repair the trust, you don't need to think about the situation constantly. If you are trying to repair a personal relationship, it might feel like a very complicated process. You are likely going to feel a wide range of emotions. Remember that the other person might be emotional, too. It is normal for you to feel guilt, grief, sadness, and frustration. Give yourself permission to feel a wide range of emotions. Acknowledge your emotions and move on. Say to yourself, "Today I'm feeling pretty guilty. But I know I'm taking steps to fix it, so I can't be too hard on myself." Understand that your friend is probably experiencing a wide array of emotions. They might be hurt, angry, or sad. That is normal. When trust has been compromised, it is possible to repair the relationship. However, it is important to understand that the dynamics might change. Be prepared to have a different relationship than before. Maybe you have violated your boss's trust. Be prepared to accept a lower level of responsibility at work for a while. If you have compromised the trust in your romantic relationship, you might not be as close as you were before. Your partner might not trust you with intimate feelings for a while. Perhaps you are dealing with a damaged friendship. You might have to accept the fact that your friendship is more superficial than it was before. If you break someone's trust, there is a good chance that you can make amends. But you should know that the relationship might be damaged beyond repair. Try to mentally prepare for a variety of outcomes. Accept the fact that you might have to move on. If someone doesn't want to be your friend anymore, you can't force them. Try to find something positive in your life to focus on. Make a list of all of the things you have going for you. Spend time with other people. Focus on enhancing the relationships that you still have.

SUMMARY:
Be patient. Acknowledge emotions. Create a new relationship. Prepare for various outcomes.
