Q: Flashing a smile riddled with parsley may not be the best way to attract a man's attention, so be sure to check that you have no chunks of things in your teeth before you start flashing a man your pearly whites. Once you are done with your lunch, chew a gum to remove the obvious stains on your teeth. . When you spot the man whose attention you would like to attract, begin making subtle eye contact with him. However, do not stare—unless you are really good at pulling off a seductive stare, you may come across as creepy rather than flirtatious. Instead: Let your eyes linger on your man. Wait until he catches you looking at him, hold eye contact for a second, and then look away. If you are feeling extra adventurous, you could even flash him a smile while holding eye contact (if you can flash a one-second smile). Once you have made eye contact a couple of times, the next time you lock eyes, move your eyebrows up for a half a second, before dropping them quickly and looking away. This will send the message that you have noticed him noticing you. Doing this may cause him to think that he may have met you before. This may prompt him to come over and say hello. After you have made eye contact with your man on several occasions, feel free to give him a smile. Smiling makes you seem approachable and open, which is how you want to appear if you want him to come over and talk to you. If you have a killer pair of legs, don't be afraid to show them off. Instead, draw a man's attention by changing your seated position every couple of minutes. This movement may help to catch his eye.  Crossing and uncrossing your legs can be seen as a flirtatious action. However, don't make this movement too much, or you may look like you're anxious or something is wrong. It's also important to make sure your legs are crossed toward the guy in question. Be slow and purposeful in your movements, and use the narrowed space as an excuse to lean your legs closer to his.  Conversely, don't keep your legs tightly crossed and tucked directly underneath your body the whole time. That's often seen as a sign of disinterest. If you don't think you cross your legs comfortably in his direction, it would be better to keep them uncrossed than to cross them away from him. Some men find it easier to approach a woman if she is in a small group of friends. Take advantage  of this and grab yourself some wing-women then hit the town with these ladies. When your guy approaches you, your wing-women will know to talk to you, then take off.  Wing-women are your friends that know you are trying to attract a guy's attention and they will do anything in their power to make you look fantastic. If you are in a large group of friends, try to pair off with a smaller group of friends every so often to give your man a chance to approach you confidently.
A: Double check that you don't have anything in your teeth.  Make eye contact Use your eyebrows to send a message. Smile at him. Cross and uncross your legs when you are sitting down. Hang out with one or two close friends.

Q: Slowly support your teen in developing their independence as they mature. For example, let your younger teen choose how to decorate their room and style their hair. Older teens may be able to use the car, attend activities without an adult, or hold a part-time job. A controlling parent may face increased conflict with a teen who seeks independence. Ask your teen what independence they’d like and come to some compromises. Teens are often concerned with social relationships, fitting in with peers, and making social decisions such as whether to use drugs or engage in sexual activity.  They will likely want to spend more time with friends than with their family. While it’s important for them to be a part of the family, make sure that you respect their need to engage in friendships, be with friends, and create their social identity.  Allow your teen to join clubs or groups or do other social activities (such as go to the skate park, join sports teams, or hang out with friends). Ask your teenager about their friends, and try to learn their names. Before they hang out, meet their friends in person if you can. Teens want increasing independence and this includes needs for privacy, too. It might feel like your teen is tuning you out or ignoring you, but they are likely wanting some space to be alone (or with friends). Respect their desire for privacy and consider giving them increased privacy as they get older. If your teen isn’t forthright in talking to you or wants to spend less time with you, don’t take it personally and instead, see it is a developmental stage. You do, however, get the final say in their activities and should look out for their safety. It’s natural for teens to fall asleep later (after 11 p.m.) and sleep in the next morning. Be mindful of these sleep patterns, but also encourage them to get adequate sleep. Not getting enough sleep can affect their moods, memory, and concentration.  If your teen struggles to get restful sleep, remove electronic devices from their bedrooms (cell phones, televisions, tablets, etc) so that the light does not stimulate them instead of relaxing them.  A consistent bedtime can also help with getting more restful sleep. No matter how many warnings you give, teens often prefer to learn experientially. Some teens may need to fail or make mistakes in order to learn from them and be responsible. As a parent, it’s difficult to watch your child fail. Let them know that you support them, love them, and you will be there for them, no matter the outcome. Be there to comfort your teen when they are disappointed, even if you want to say, “I told you so.”
A:
Allow them levels of independence. Accept their social needs. Respect their privacy. Recognize their sleep habits. Let them make their own mistakes.
