Article: If you try to be someone else, she probably won't like it. If you are going to get her interested, it's going to be because she sees something deep inside you that intrigues her. Don't copy other kids or mime other fads; be comfortable about who you are and your confidence will reward you. Girls like guys who are unique but confident, who march to the beat of their own drum.  Don't act like you're desperate. Girls like attention, but they dislike guys who are needy and desperate. A large portion of girls are afraid to ask out guys, so show you like her, but don't go overboard. Don't make her your one and only focus, or it will seem too clingy or overbearing. Don't show off. A lot of guys think this is a good thing to do, but it's not the right approach. The problem with showing off is that the girl could think you're too cocky or obsessed with yourself. It's okay to do things you're good at, but don't go out there trying to get her attention. Be casual. Don't stress out about trivial things like "I hope she will like my shirt!" Just play it cool, and be nice to her. Girls like guys who act natural and go with the flow. If you're having trouble keeping your composure around her, think of her as a friend instead of a romantic interest. Don't be awkward. Don't  say things  like " Hey baby " or anything like that. Maybe you think that she likes a certain kind of guy, like rocker or preppy guys. While she may have a preference, it's not worth it to "become" that kind of guy. Better to simply groom yourself, look presentable, and treat your body with care. If you do these things, it won't matter what you look like to her. Your appearance lures her in; your personality makes her stay.  Shower, wash your face, and wash your hair regularly. Shower every day, wash your face twice a day, and wash your hair every other day. If you are starting to have pimples, you can do lots of at home remedies. Put honey on your face, or lemon. Any type of citrus will work. If you touch your face a lot, your face will get oily, and you'll break out. Pay attention to how your hair looks, even if you go for a messier look. Don't overwhelm her with cologne or body spray. Commercials are misleading: most girls want you to be odorless, not smell like a ripe peach or mountain spray. Don't worry about cologne or body spray. If you wash regularly, a simple deodorant will do the trick. Get in shape if you need to. If you need to lose a few pounds, then put in the work: Find some form of exercise that works for you. Swimming, running, or cycling is all good options. Even walking 15 minutes each day is a good start. But whatever you do, don't OVERDO it. She doesn't exactly want the Incredible Hulk as her boyfriend. Start eating healthy. Instead of fatty burgers and sweets, start incorporating a healthy amount of vegetables, fruits, and protein into your diet. Not only will you feel better, you'll start looking better, too. Girls in real life don't like the cocky player you see in the movies and on TV. Or if they do, they quickly realize they can't have a real relationship with him once they get close. A girl who's worth chasing wants a nice guy who respects her. Be kind, be polite, be gentle. These things help relationships grow, and make girls want to be around you more.  Be a gentleman, which means being mature. Don't get gushy with her, and don't crack jokes about her body or others' bodies. Let her see that you're a decent, respectful guy with manners and class. Open the door in front of her and others. Give advice and guidance to those who want it. Only say things about people you'd be comfortable with saying to their face. Stick up for her. If she's put in an uncomfortable situation — a fight or an argument — be there to break up the fight or offer support. Stand up for her if someone says something nasty about her; do this with other people you care about, too. Be generous. Don't think that you're the center of the universe. Be there to offer a helping hand to other people, and word will soon spread that you care about making a difference. Think about volunteering, giving blood, or doing some sort of charity work. The great thing about love is that it makes you want to be a better person. Not just for her sake, but for your own sake, too. Being in love will give you a lot of motivation to take some of your mistakes or flaws and starting working to make them less noticeable or better.  If you have a temper, cool it down. Girls don't like guys who suddenly blow up and cause a scene without warning. Be aware of what sets you off, and try to avoid it. As hard as it is, do the opposite of what you normally do when you get frustrated. Work on your  conversation skills. If you plan on impressing her, you're going to need to have multiple conversations with her. Work on good conversation topics, good questions, interesting/funny stories, and calming your nerves when you're around her. Learn a skill that no one in your class has, then do it when you are around her. Don't be a showoff about it. Pretend that you are showing it to your friends. Some good ideas for skills are magic tricks, juggling, and being able to play an instrument. It really doesn't matter which. It will show your personality in whichever you choose. Pursue some other hobby or interest. The world is really fascinating, and there's a lot to learn. To keep yourself a little distracted, it's a good idea to get involved in extra curricular like engineering, sports or ancient history. When she learns how much you know about your hobby, she'll definitely be impressed.

Article: For the most part, you will have to do small loads with a portable washer. Your machine's instruction manual should have specific instructions regarding how much clothing it can hold. Most machines cannot hold more than 10 pounds.  Place your clothing into the washer. You can separate loads by color and fabric type the same way you would when using a normal washing machine. Liquid detergent tends to work best with portable washing machines. It's a good idea to add some liquid fabric softener, as portable washing machines only do spin cycles. There should be a hose attached to your portable washer. This hose will be screwed onto your kitchen's faucet in order to fill the machine with water to wash the clothing. Hook the hose up to a faucet in your kitchen or bathroom and turn the water on.  Use the water temperature that works best for your clothing type. For example, wash bright clothing in cold water. Some machines may have two different hoses: one to load the water, and the other to drain it afterwards. Refer to your instruction manual to make sure you're plugging the right hose into the kitchen sink. Most machines will have a line inside the washer marking how much water to add. Do not add water above this line as this can interfere with how the machine works and damage your clothing. When you load your clothes and fill the machine, make sure you choose an area with an outlet nearby. You need to plug in the machine for it to work. Once the clothing and water is loaded, you can plug in the machine and start the wash.  Most machines have a timer, where you can decide how long you want to wash your clothes. In general, the dirtier the clothing, the longer your wash cycle should be. There will also be a switch to turn to get the machine to start the wash.  Make sure to plug your machine directly into the wall. Portable washing machines do not work with power adapters or extension cords.
