Being nice is a great way to make a boy feel more comfortable around you. Keep your compliments genuine and specific, and say them with a smile so he knows that you aren’t teasing him. Sometimes, it’s better to give compliments when you’re hanging out alone, to keep other people from making fun.  For example, if you’re both into sports, you can say something like “I like your Lebron James jersey, did you watch the game last night?” If you’re working on a school project together, let him know that you admire his intelligence by saying something like “That’s a great idea, I would’ve never thought of that!” Focus on asking questions that require an explanation, not just a “yes” or a “no.” If you know you have a common interest, like music or sports, ask him questions to lead him into a conversation. Let him do the talking while you listen and throw in some comments here and there.  This is the best way to get to know a guy to see if you could actually like him beyond just a crush. Letting him talk will show him that you’re interested in getting to know him better and that you’re a good listener. Think about how you act around your girlfriends and how easily you can talk to them. Try to act the same way around the boy that you like by talking about things you both are interested in, like music, sports, or movies. Share your opinions and thoughts freely so he can get to know the real you. If a guy seems less interested after you start talking to him, don’t worry about it. That just means that he’s not a good fit for you. Body language and touching are a great way to communicate to a guy that you like him without outwardly saying something. Sit close to him so that your knees are touching, and reach out to touch his arm or leg when he says something funny. This can signal to a guy that you’re interested in him as more than just a friend. Avoid doing anything too overt, like grabbing his hand out of nowhere. This can scare him or make him think that you have the wrong impression about your relationship. Smaller gestures are better for figuring out how he feels. It might seem simple, but guys are surprised when girls are confident enough to show interest in a public way, like on social media. Even a quick text to let him know that you saw something that made you think of him can ensure that you’re on his mind, too!  Sending a text can even start a whole conversation that can bring you closer together and give you something to talk about in person. Keep your texts light and flirty until you’re able to hang out with him and see how he’s feeling. Be careful not to bombard him with notifications by sending multiple text messages in a row or liking more than 2 posts at a time. When responding to texts, send 1-2 messages as your response and then wait for him to answer. Boys can sometimes act different when they’re alone with you. Ask him to partner with you for a project or even just talk to him between classes. This will give you time to see how he feels about you when no one is around, and gives him the opportunity to ask you out. Most guys won’t ask out a girl in front their friends because they’ll be embarrassed if you say no in front of everyone. Alone time gives him a chance to talk to you without all of the pressure.

Article: Magazines usually have a theme or topic for all of their content. A good theme is general enough for you to write plenty on but specific enough that it caters to a specific audience. Some themes have more magazines than others, and you may want to break out into your own niche. As you come up with your theme, ask yourself:  Is this an art or literary journal? A lifestyle journal? Is it about a certain hobby or fashion? Will I be reporting news or trends? Do other magazines cover this topic? How could I uniquely present this topic? What makes my idea different? What kinds of articles could I write for this magazine? You should determine what kind of person will be reading your magazine. By focusing on your audience, you will refine your magazine towards a specific niche. Try to determine the following:  Who would be interested in this topic? Am I marketing to a specific gender, age, religion, cultural background, or sexual orientation? Would people in certain industries or careers be more attracted to this type of magazine? What kinds of concerns does this audience have? How would this audience relate to my magazine? How often would I publish this magazine? Monthly? Weekly? Every two weeks? Once you know what your theme is, it is good to do some research on it. You may already know the basics, but you should know what people expect of a magazine like yours. Research can help you generate ideas, and it will help you understand what to avoid in your niche.  What are the most recent trends, fads, gadgets, apps, and fashions that relate to my topic? What kinds of articles do people need or want? What kind of tone do I need to set for this topic? Is it a highly technical subject? Can I use humor? Does it require high academic language or casual writing? The best kind of research you can do is to look at magazines that are similar to what you to do. While you should not steal their content, you can look for inspiration. These magazine can show you what does and does not work in a print medium. You can also find out if your idea has been done before or if the market is already saturated with that type of magazine. You can also contact the editors of these magazines to find out what printers they use, what their costs are, and how they sell advertisements. Write out a sentence or two that outlines what you want the purpose of your magazine to be. This statement should include who the targeted audience is and why they should read your magazine. For example, if you wanted to make a lifestyle magazine for young women interested in knitting, your mission statement could be: “This magazine seeks to explore the world of knitting for women 20-30 years old by fostering networks of creativity and offering the latest product reviews, fun and unique patterns, and monthly knitting contests.” The title should relate to your theme. It should be fun, catchy, and memorable. Good titles tend to be one to three words. It should clearly express what your magazine is about.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a topic. Identify your target audience. Research your topic. Study similar magazines. Define your mission statement. Think of a title.
