Q: Recognize that men are often more overt about expressing their interest in someone romantically. Women often hint.  What’s her mood like when she sees you? If she becomes giddy, extra happy to see you, and full of smiles, that’s a good sign.  Does she ever show jealousy? If she shows jealousy, such as when you spend time with another friend, that could be a sign she’s interested. Is she trying to get you alone or does she only hang out with you when other friends are along? If she’s always trying to get you alone, it might mean she wants to hook up with you. Does she have open body language (body facing toward the woman, palms up, feet pointing toward the woman) or closed (arms crossed over her chest, palms down, body facing away, etc.) If you catch her making eye contact with you (you’re a woman interested in her) or if you catch her making eye contact with another woman (if you’re a guy or a female friend of hers), she may be bisexual.  Persistent eye contact can be a way of creating intimate connection and to flirt. Also, you should pay attention to the amount of personal space she leaves between herself and other women. Is she trying to create a zone of intimacy?  Looking someone in the eyes and then glancing away is a sign of flirtation in many cases. People don’t usually lock eyes with people they only consider friends. Avoid stereotyping people. That being said, sometimes you can pick up clues from how she dresses her body.  If she goes for an androgynous look, or something like a suit-and-tie combo, she might have a bisexual vibe. Other clothing that might provide a clue would be low-slung pants, Calvin Klein briefs, and trendy fitted blazers. Keep an eye out for rainbow accessories or pins that show she’s out. Some hairstyles are more associated with being a lesbian than others, such as a barber’s cut or military cut. Short fingernails could also be a giveaway. However, absolutely none of these clues is surefire. There are many bisexual women who dress differently. It all differs on the individual.
A: Assess her mood and body language signals. Watch what she does with her eyes. Look for clues in her fashion sense.

Q: Once you know approximately how many beach balls and inner tubes you need, you can purchase your materials and get to work. You may want to purchase a couple of extra balls/tubes, because it may take some trial and error to get your arch just right. For this project, you’re going to need:  2 larger inner tubes An even number of smaller inner tubes An odd number of beach balls Latex glue (available at craft stores or online) An air pump to blow up balls and inner tubes Use an electric pump or hand pump to inflate all of your beach balls and inner tubes. Fill each item until it is firm to the touch. Full, firm inflatables will make a sturdy arch, but be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they might pop. Practice constructing the arch without glue, to make sure you like the design. You may need to enlist the assistance of a friend to hold the beach ball arch in place. Remember, the order goes: a large inner tube at the base (on each side), followed by pairs of beach balls and small inter tubes. For the construction of the arch, you will definitely need help from 1-2 friends. It is important to glue the pieces together with the arch standing up (as opposed to lying on the ground), in order for you to get the curvature just right.  Apply a thin layer of latex glue to the bottom base inner tube, and press 1 of your beach balls against it. Apply pressure for 20-30 seconds. Apply a thin layer of latex glue to the beach ball, and press 1 of your small inner tubes against it. Again, apply pressure for 20-30 seconds. Alternate between sides: do a few layers on the left, then a few layers on the right. Be sure to gentle curve the balls and inner tubes in the shape of an arch. Have your friends hold the arch in place as you connect the 2 sides. The top/center of the arch will need the most support. Be sure to glue the balls/tubes with the inflation tabs sticking out. This will allow you to add air as needed, and help with take down. Take turns holding the top/center of the arch for a minimum of 10-15 minutes (although longer is better), until the adhesive starts to set. Finally, leave the arch alone for several hours, to allow the adhesive to cure. If you have constructed your arch near a solid structure (like an existing doorway), you can use rope or twine to help secure the arch. Loop a length or rope or twine around the arch in the top middle, and find a place to attach it. Add another length of rope/twine on each side of the arch. This step is optional, but advisable, especially if your arch will be outdoors. Open the nozzles on all of the inflatables. Untie any rope or twine you used to secure it. Give the arch some time (an hour or 2) to deflate naturally. Squeeze the remaining air out, fold up the arch, and store it for future use. Next time you use the arch, you may need to use latex glue to re-secure any connection that may have come loose.
A: Purchase your materials. Blow up all inflatables. Practice stacking the inner tubes and beach balls without glue. Add adhesive to the beach balls to create your arch. Hold the arch in place for as long as you can. Add additional support. Take down your arch.

Q: Most IVF clinics include counseling sessions with IVF treatments to help you cope with infertility issues and the stress of the treatment. Some countries, such as the UK, require IVF clinics to offer counseling before, during, and after treatment.  It's common to experience bouts of anxiety and depression during IVF treatment. A therapist or counselor can help you work through them. Ask your IVF clinic if counseling is included in the overall cost of the treatment, or if you'll have to pay extra for it. If you're already seeing a counselor or therapist, you might be able to continue seeing them rather than using the clinic's services. You might also be able to find a counselor on your own. Support groups include others who are dealing with infertility or undergoing IVF treatment. Sharing stories and connecting with others who have experienced some of the same issues as you can help you feel less isolated and alone. If you live in the US, you can find a support group at https://resolve.org/support/find-a-support-group/. Once you're pregnant, your IVF clinic may offer workshops and counseling sessions to help you through pregnancy and raising your child. If your IVF clinic doesn't offer these services, it may be able to recommend programs in your area. You might also consider joining a support group for expectant mothers, either in-person or online. These groups share stories about their experiences and can help you work through any difficulties you might have along the way. If you don't become pregnant after your first IVF treatment, you will likely feel frustrated and defeated. You might blame your partner, or your partner might blame you. Going to counseling sessions together can help you work through these issues. While couples therapy is important, it's also important to go to counseling sessions by yourself. Private sessions give you the opportunity to talk about your own insecurities or say things you might not feel comfortable saying in front of your partner.
A:
Talk to a licensed counselor or therapist about infertility. Find an infertility support group to meet with. Get help adapting to parenthood if your treatment is successful. Consider couples therapy if your treatment is unsuccessful.
