In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Believe it or not, flirting is scientifically effective. In fact, studies show that the most successful people are not necessarily the most physically attractive, but those who shows their availability through confidence and basic flirting techniques like smiling and eye contact. For men, the most successful flirting techniques are quick glances as well as “space maximization” postures – i.e. sitting with an arm extended across the back of a nearby chair. These moves show interest, but also social confidence. If you genuinely like the girl, let her know it through your behavior. Don't just flirt. Notice her. Notice what she wears. Notice what she says, what she likes and dislikes, and what interests her. In short, listen to her.  You might be surprised how much these small things matter. If she likes you, remembering that your mystery girl loves to watch Gilmour Girls or has a side interest in astrophysics can go along way. Ask her questions. Without being intrusive, show interest in her by asking about her likes and dislikes, her interests, or just how she is doing. Give her a compliment on what she's wearing. Try something simple like, “Wow, is that a new skirt? You look very pretty in it.” This signals two things: you noticed her appearance and approve of it. At a certain point you will need to press the issue to clarify whether or not she is really into you. Ask her out! Yes, this will be stressful, but the worst she can do is turn you down. Then, you will know that she was indeed messing with you.  The response that your invitation gets should give you an answer. A yes is obvious: she likes you! If your mystery girl starts acting weird or stops talking to you, most likely someone else is on her mind and she feels uncomfortable. If she continues your current relationship without any change, on the other hand, it could be that she is simply messing with you. Give her some space to sort things out if she appears hesitant. An evasive reply may mean that she is uncertain – she may be starting to have feelings for you but is not sure. All you can do is give her some time and space. Gracefully accept whatever response you get. It will do no good to continue to pursue her after a clear rejection. She was probably just flirting and didn't consider you dating material.  In case of a rejection, avoid being obnoxious and move on. Resist the temptation to stick it out. She wasn't interested and time will probably not change that. Try to find a girl who is really interested in you. Keep all of the advice here in mind and continuing looking for that special mystery lady.
Summary: Flirt back. Show interest in her. Ask her out. Respect the outcome.

Cooking corn off-the-cob (whether it's from a can or cut from the cob itself) is easy with a microwave. Start by draining the corn of any excess liquid — you want your finished product to be soft, delicious corn kernels, not corn soup. See below for instructions.   Canned corn: Open the can with a can opener until the lid is connected by just a small piece of metal. Tip the can into the sink, keeping the lid on, and let the excess liquid drain. Remove the lid and pour the corn into a strainer, then rinse with water and allow to drain.  Refrigerated corn: Draining is less of an issue here because there will usually be less excess moisture. Toss the corn lightly in a strainer or use a slotted spoon to drain the corn. Season your corn now for a delicious taste as soon as it comes out of the microwave! Salt and pepper give the sweet corn kernels an excellent savory dimension, while butter keeps them moist and gives a smooth texture. You may use as much salt, pepper, and butter as you wish. If you're unsure, adding about one tablespoon of butter for every 12-ounce can of corn (the equivalent of about 1.5 cups of loose corn) and salt and pepper to taste should give great results. Making sure that your corn is in a microwave-safe container, transfer it to the microwave and cook it on "HIGH" or your preferred setting for about three minutes. Stop the microwave and stir every minute or so to ensure the butter and seasonings are combining well. Don't use an airtight cover or lid — you want to keep the moisture in, but if steam builds up in an airtight container, it can cause an explosion. Leave the lid oven a crack to allow excess steam to escape. Carefully remove the corn from the microwave, take the lid off, and check to see that the corn has heated evenly. If so, stir the mixture and serve immediately. If not, feel free to return it to the microwave for a minute or two. If you are cooking a large amount of corn (more than a can or two), be ready to microwave for a little extra time. In general, the more food you microwave at once, the longer it will take to cook.

One-sentence summary -- Drain the corn. Add salt, pepper, and butter. Cover and cook for approximately four minutes. Remove from microwave, stir, and serve.

Problem: Article: Some adhesives, such as "cut-back" adhesives and "mastic," were often mixed with asbestos up until the late 1980s, and are still occasionally used today. These adhesives were most commonly used to bond the floor to tiles or to heating and air ducts, not to carpets, and are often black in color. If you suspect your adhesive contains asbestos, do not use this method, as sanding or scraping the dry adhesive can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air. Refer to the solvent section instead, or hire a professional to remove the asbestos. Chipping and scraping off the old adhesive can be tedious, although not much more so than using a solvent. The main benefit is a lower risk of discoloring the wood or clogging its pores. After using this method, it should be easy to bond a new stain or finish to the wood. However, if there is an existing finish you plan to leave on, or if you plan to cover the floor with a new carpet, the solvent method may save you some time.  Note: renting a wet/dry vacuum from a tool rental service is highly recommended for quick, safe cleanup after the adhesive is removed. If you're lucky, the adhesive will chip right off when you apply pressure with a putty knife. Some areas may take more pressure than others. Only use a plastic putty knife, not metal, to avoid scratching the floor. If the adhesive only comes off in tiny chips, try making it easier to remove with dry ice as described below, or use solvents instead. Pick the widest putty knife you can find to make the task less tedious. If you plan to apply a new stain or finish to the floor, this is your best option for making adhesive removal easier without affecting the wood pores. Place pieces of dry ice in a cookie tray and slide the tray over each section of adhesive before you chip, to make the glue brittle and easier to remove. Always follow these safety precautions before you buy dry ice:  Wear thick gloves while handling dry ice, as the extreme cold can instantly cause painful skin damage. Always store and work with dry ice in a well-ventilated room, and leave immediately if you have trouble breathing. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, and can fill a small space with unbreathable gas. Do not store in an airtight container, which may explode as the dry ice expands into gas. Clean up the chips of adhesive using a wet/dry vacuum if possible, or a broom. Your local government may require you to dispose of them at a waste collection center, rather than adding it to your ordinary trash, since some adhesives contain toxic materials. However, since you did not use any solvents, you may be able to dispose of adhesives normally; contact local waste collection services to find out about local regulations. The floor may need to be sanded to clear up any scuff marks caused by the carpet installation or the glue removal. Use 16 or 24 grit sandpaper, but go slowly to avoid scraping into the wood. Optionally, sand away the old finish in preparation for adding a new stain and/or finish. Sanding away the adhesive itself is not recommended, as the sandpaper will quickly get clogged and need replacing. Heat from the friction may also melt the adhesive, which can be messy.
Summary:
Do not use this method on adhesives containing asbestos. Know the benefits of this method. Use a plastic putty knife to chip off the adhesive. Consider using dry ice. Dispose of the old glue. Sand the floor down (optional).
