In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Even though keno is a fast paced game, winning can be slow and takes patience. You don’t want to sit down in a lounge and blow all of your money in two or three rounds. Most lounges will let you place bets as low as $1, so you should do this at first. Get into the groove of the game, see if the lounge is paying out well, and then increase your bets. Keno is not generally a game in which you win large sums, but if you bet smart you may be able to win small amounts over a number of rounds which will build up your overall winnings. It is possible to get lucky and win a lot at once, just not likely. If you play often, this should include an overall budget for a month, for each day that you’ll play, and for bets on each round. If you are just playing for one sitting, a budget for that day is still a smart idea.You don’t want to play with more money than you actually have. And you don’t want to lose more than you started with.   Keno is gambling, and gambling typically is a losing proposition in terms of odds. Some people win, but lots of people lose first. Be smart about how much money you can afford to play with. This is important for each individual time you sit down to play. You don’t want to bet all of your money in the first couple rounds, so it is often better to play conservatively over a longer period of time. This is a complicated suggestion, and not all Keno players agree on this, but if you play less numbers, you’ll win a higher percentage of money if you do in fact win. If you play four numbers and win three, it is better than winning eight numbers out of ten.  Some Keno games will require you to pick a certain amount of numbers, which is why it’s important to know house rules. Overall, it is good to pick less numbers. This is basically a balancing act, as you will probably never win if you only pick one number, but it’s hard to get a large payout if you pick 15 numbers.
Summary: Bet small at first. Set a playing budget. Play fewer numbers each round.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’re planning a surprise date for your partner, know what they like to do. Taking your partner to do something they love shows that you pay attention and remember details about them. Always start with ideas you know they’ll like to plan great dates.  If you know your partner loves a particular restaurant and you haven’t been there in a while, take them there for a great date. Make sure you’re positive that your partner likes this activity. If you make a mistake, you could get the opposite result and they could think you don’t listen to them. Not all dates have to be a surprise. Planning dates together can be a great way to build intimacy and learn more about what each other likes. Take an hour and talk about what activities you’d like to do the next day. Make a list and choose together.  As a compromise, you could pick the activity and your partner could pick where you eat afterwards, or vice versa. Be open to what your partner suggests, even if you’ve never done it before. Show that you’re open to try what they like. Doing the same thing all the time can get stale. Break your normal routine by trying new activities together. This shows your partner that you’re spontaneous and open to new experiences. Trying something new together builds your connection to each other.  Make a list of things you’ve never done before. This will depend on your situation. It could be fishing, hiking, taking a cooking class, or anything new. Keep this list and pick new options when you need a new date idea. You could try a new style of food for dinner. If you always eat Italian, try looking for a Middle Eastern restaurant nearby for a new experience. Not everyone has time or money for a long vacation. Luckily, day trips are a great way to get the same feeling. Choose a location a few hours away from your home. Leave early, spend the day exploring, then be back in time for bed. It’s a perfect way to spend alone time with your partner without breaking the bank.  Some good day trip ideas are a nearby vineyard or winery, beach, national park, or historical site. Work out with your partner which one they would enjoy most. Also try visiting a town you’ve never been to. Enjoy the shops and restaurants you’ve never visited before.
Summary: Choose activities your partner likes to show them you pay attention. Plan out your dates together to learn each other's interests. Suggest a new activity to change up your routine. Take a romantic day trip to enjoy each other’s company.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have been planning to ask them for a while, don’t come on too strong. Keep yourself calm so that when you ask them to hang out it doesn’t come across as desperate. Take a breath and use your regular conversational tone.  You’ll sound too eager if you say, “You are so cool and I really want to spend more time with you.” Be casual when you ask a classmate by saying, “Man everytime we talk, this guy is droning on in the background. We should chill outside of class sometime.” If you had fun with someone at a party, say, “It’s been a great meeting, do you want to catch up later on sometime?” You may have a hard time asking someone to hang out without a specific reason. If you’re asking someone you know you have a common interest with, use that to your advantage. Tell them it would be fun to do the activity together sometime.  If you always talk to a coworker about the Walking Dead, ask them if they want to come over and watch it with you. You know you’re both free when it’s on, and the hangout has a set time frame so they can split when it’s over. You might meet someone that works out at your gym. Since you are probably there around the same time, ask them if they’d want to work out together. Say, “We could both have a spotter and  push each other to work harder.” Say to someone, “I’ve noticed we always seem to be painting in this studio at the same time, would you want to meet up and actually paint together sometime?” It’s no good to ask someone to hang out if you tell yourself they won’t want to. Get in the mindset that you are fun to hang out with and that the person you ask will say yes. If you are confident in yourself and make a direct ask, the person will be more open than if you seem timid when you ask.  Don’t say, “You’re probably busy most of the time and have a lot of other friends already, but we could hang out sometime if you want to it. It’s okay if you would rather not.” For an example, think about a co-worker you’d like to hang out with. Catch them in the break room and say, “We should find something cool to do outside of this place sometime.” It’s simple, shows your interest, and leaves things open to developing. If you’re in a weekly club with someone, say, “You know, we meet up here every week. Let’s grab some food after the meeting sometime.” Again, it’s direct and shows that you are assuming they would be interested.
Summary:
Ask in a casual way. Use a specific common interest as a reason to hang out. Be confident that they will say yes.
