Q: If you want someone to talk to you, you need to have something to talk about. Whether you know the person in "real" life or just from a dating profile page, it's impossible to find a connection if all you've got to say is "hey" or "ur cute."  Don't start conversations with, "hey" or "what up." It doesn't give you anywhere to go. Start with an interesting question or an observation, or a comment. Even if it's small, start with, "Whoa, whoa-whoa. There's no way I can't ask you about your new profile picture. Is that a waterfall? Please dish." Don't start with a line. Innuendo or crude jokes aren't the way to get someone interested. Read the next section for more specific advice for picking conversation topics. People like talking when it's easy. If you want to have a fun, flirty conversation, make it easy for the other person to have it by asking them questions and being a good "listener" to their responses.  Ask lots of follow-up questions. If the waterfall profile picture was in Cancun last summer, ask about the trip. How was it? What was the most ridiculous thing you saw there? Worst thing you ate? Don't pry. Asking questions like, "That sounds so fun! I'd be scared to try sky-diving. How was it?" is one thing. But the answer to "How can you afford to sky-dive when you work in the service industry?" isn't any of your business. It's hard to define flirting exactly. Lots of people just want to look for a connection, some kind of electricity. Often, this has to do with your sense of humor and your playfulness. Let your sense of humor come through. If you think it's funny to reference obscure Wu-Tang Clan songs, or random facts while you're talking, then do it. Be yourself. If someone doesn't think that's funny, they're better off with someone else. Sometimes, gentle teasing can be flirty and electric, or it can make you come off like a jerk. It might be funny to one person to say, "Whoa nice waterfall picture. That looks cold. Plus those plants are wack. Nice try though." To others, not so much. Flirting needs someone to be at the other end of the line or it won't spark. Respond to as many messages as you can when you see them, and show the other person that you enjoy the exchange between the two of you.  "Leaving them waiting" is the rallying cry of people with no dates. If you want to chat online, be there to chat. If you want to ignore people's messages, go do something else. If someone else isn't talking to you, leave them alone. There's no sense in peppering them with a million interesting and well-formed questions that they're going to respond "lol" to. The best flirtatious conversations end with the other person wanting more. You want to leave them thinking about you, and wishing that you'd log back on for more chatting. Before the conversation runs out of steam, it's a good idea to cut it short and leave them thinking about you. Look for a high note that might be difficult to top. If you get someone really laughing, but can't think of anywhere to go beyond that, just end the conversation: "Good talking to you. Gotta feed the dog, though. He's about to eat me." Invest some effort into flirting, but don't expect a lot of return initially until you "click" with the right person. If you can't start a conversation with someone, you can't start a conversation. Flirt around. Have fun. Have lots of conversations, and keep them light. On the other hand, don't give up too easily. Online chats can take some time to get to know someone. As mentioned earlier, keep it lighthearted and stay approachable. If you want to flirt and find a genuine connection with someone, it's important to be yourself, not the self-promoting Facebook version of yourself. It's all too easy to come off as conceited online, the more you talk about yourself and your accomplishments. So don't. Just be you.  Write the same way you talk. You don't need to make yourself "sound smart" or try to use words you wouldn't normally use to flirt. It'll come off as fake and awkward.  On the other hand, self-deprecating humor can sometimes be funny, but it can also sometimes come off as desperate or annoying. It's good to talk about yourself in positive ways.
A: Start the conversation with something interesting. Get the other person talking. Be playful. Respond in a timely way. Be the one who ends the conversation. Be persistent. Stop trying to make yourself look good, and just be yourself.

Q: Take the mattress outside every month or two and leave it out during a warm and sunny day. The sunlight will vaporize the moisture that has accumulated in the mattress. It will also kill any mold build-up. Create a mixture that is half vinegar and half water. Use one cup of white vinegar and one cup of water. Dip a sponge or cloth into the mixture and gently rub it over the air mattress. Rinse with water and allow the mattress to air dry. Create a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and warm water in a bowl or bucket. Wet a sponge with the mixture. Use the sponge to clean the air mattress. Rinse with water and let the mattress air dry when you are finished. You can use any disinfectant, such as Lysol, to kill mold or mildew on your air mattress. Spray the disinfectant over the area where the mold and/or mildew appears. The disinfectant will also kill the spores that could cause mold to grow in the future.
A:
Take the mattress outside. Use vinegar and water to remove mold. Mix isopropyl alcohol and water to remove mildew. Apply a disinfectant.
