Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make time for romance. Make love at least once a week. Make time to talk.

Answer: Though “date night” may sound forced, you and your special someone should aim to have a date night at least once a week, if not more often. You don’t have to call it “date night” if that sounds too cheesy, but you should make a goal to spend some quality time together without anyone else around at least one night a week.  You can do this same thing during date night, such as cooking dinner together and then going to the movies, or spice it up and do something new every time. If you’re staying in, maintain a romantic atmosphere by lighting some candles and playing some soft music.  Whatever you do, make sure you have time to really talk during your special time together.  You won’t be able to talk much if you’re just going to a loud concert together. Learn to say no to others during “date night.” Your girlfriends may be begging you to come out to the bars, but if you’ve scheduled a date night, tell them you can’t make it and make plans for next week. Things will break down if “date night” is the thing you’re always willing to give up. You should always look nice, tell each other how much you love each other, and compliment each other throughout the night. You don’t have to plug this into your calendar, and hopefully you won’t have to, but you should make a conscious effort to make love at least one a week, no matter how tired you feel after work, or how much you have going on that week.  Making love is a way to maintain your intimacy and to grow closer to your partner. You should also spend some time just cuddling and kissing each other, so you don’t feel like you’re just checking “sex” off of your to-do list. Though your schedules may get crazy, you need to make a concerted effort to talk to each other every day, no matter how much work you have to do. You can set aside time to talk during dinner, or to talk over the phone if your loved one is away.  Make a habit of knowing what your loved one’s day was like. Though you don’t have to bore each other with every little detail of your lives, you should become comfortable with each other’s routines. If you’re spending a week apart, set aside at least fifteen minutes a day to catch up and to remind your loved one how much you love and miss him. When you do talk, there should be no distractions. You’re not really talking if you’re also watching the game or checking your phones.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make eye contact when talking. Allow her to speak. Assess your attitude towards girls. Mind your manners.

Answer: When you speak to someone, you make eye contact with them. This shows that you are listening attentively, and that you are focused on the conversation. This rule applies for girls as much as it does for boys. By making eye contact with her, you show her that you respect her. This doesn't mean that you should stare unblinkingly into her eyes. You can allow your gaze to shift about, but try to stay focused on her eyes as much as possible. Listen to what girls have to say and avoid dominating the conversation. Conversation between two people is give and take. After you say something, give her a chance to respond. When she is saying something, wait until she finishes speaking to respond. If you are truly listening, your response will be relevant to what she has said and add substance to the conversation. Try to practice active listening, such as by:  Using neutral statements to show you are paying attention, such as “yes,” “I see,” and uh-huh.” Asking probing questions to keep her talking, such as “What happened next? “How did that make you feel?” and “What are you going to do now?” Restating to ensure you understood what she said, such as by saying, “It sounds like you are saying ____. Is that right?” Basically every culture has some version of “The Golden Rule” that basically says “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” Well, this is applies to girls as well. Using degrading and disrespectful slurs (anything from calling her a “gold digger” to implying that boys are smarter than girls) is not an appropriate way to talk to, or about, girls. Take some time to reflect on your attitude towards girls to help you determine what your biases might be.  For example, do you tend to associate women with certain careers, behaviors, or social roles? Are you skeptical of women in positions of power? Make a list of things that you consider your biases against women.  Do not allow this behavior from other people. If a friend is being disrespectful towards girls, point it out and correct them. Avoid obsessive swearing, passing gas, burping, etc. While it’s best practice to avoid this things around any person, girls tend to be less amused by these behaviors than boys. Accidents happen, for example, a burp slips out after dinner, and that’s okay. Say excuse me and move on.  Try to practice good manners, such as by saying please and thank you, paying attention during conversations, offering help, and opening doors. The point is to avoid being deliberately rude, not to be a robot.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Flirt Look your best whenever you’re around them. Make them jealous by talking about other people you’re interested in. Invite them out for one-on-one time. Hug them and get closer physically. Try a kiss when you’re ready.

Answer: like they’re already attracted to you. Start small, by looking into their eyes when you talk, or lowering your gaze and then looking up at them through your eyelashes. Smile slowly while maintaining eye contact. Play with your hair a little and touch their arm when you talk or laugh. Research suggests that acting and flirting like you already know the person is interested in you is more likely to make them actually have feelings for you. Have confidence and go for it! You don’t have to dress extremely fancy, but make sure your hair looks neat and that your face is fresh and clean. In relaxed situations, wear a cute and comfy tee and some leggings or jeans, and a little makeup if you want. If you’re going to an event the person will be at, step it up a little more. This will create some competition, which might make the person realize they don’t want you spending time with other people. You can also spend a little less time with them to make them miss you. You’ll notice them start to get a bit jealous, which means they’re starting to think of you as someone they could be interested in! Go to a movie or concert, get lunch, or swim at the pool or beach. This is especially important if you’ve only spent time together in a large group. Showing them that you want to hang out with just the 2 of you will tell them you want to get closer. When you ask them, make it obvious that it’s not a date. Say, for example, “You’re the only person I know who will sit through this new horror movie with me. Don’t make me go alone!” Let your legs brush when you’re sitting next to each other. Casually lean against them while you’re watching a movie. Hug them when you say hello and goodbye, and don’t be afraid to linger a little or even kiss them on the cheek. Make an excuse to get closer to see how they react. Say, for example, “It’s so cold out!” Wait to see if they take the opportunity to lend you their jacket or even wrap their arms around you. Move a little closer to them. If it feels natural, lean against their side, or touch their arm or hand. Try touching their face or hair, then smile a little and look at their lips. Lean in and close your eyes, staying calm and relaxed. Do what feels natural to you, and don’t overthink it!  Go somewhere private and quiet where you can focus on each other. Try setting up a movie night on your couch, or going for a walk in the park.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a shady area in your garden. Obtain cress seeds. Sow the cress.

Answer:
Cress grows well in cool, shady areas. If you try to grow it in hot weather, it becomes bitter, and you can’t eat it. Find a shady area of your garden. You don’t want to grow cress in direct sunlight.  You only need 1-2 square feet of garden space to plant cress. Garden cress is also called broadleaf cress. Curly cress and watercress are other forms of the vegetables, which grow in cool weather. Put cress in either full sun or part shade. Part shade is best for cress. Cress will easily grow from seeds. You can also grow cress if you have stem pieces of cress cuttings. You can obtain cress seeds in home improvement and garden stores or online. Plant cress every two weeks if you want to have a continuous harvest. When using soil to grow cress, choose soil pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Plant the cress in early spring as early as you can work soil. Cover the seed lightly with soil or compost. You should plant the cress seeds in your garden early in the spring before the last frost. Cress grows quickly from seeds.  You will be able to harvest the cress 15 to 20 days after sowing the cress. Plant more crops until mid summer. You can also plant the cress yet again in early fall and during winter. Sow cress ¼ inch deep. Sow the seeds thickly in wide rows. Space each row between 18 and 24 inches apart. Try to keep the soil weed free when growing cress. You can plant cress with carrots or radishes. This is called intercropping.
