Going on a date isn't like meeting people in other situations...there are all sorts of things that tend to make you extra nervous! Admitting that you're nervous on a first date or even just around someone new can be a great icebreaker. They're probably nervous too, so just vocalizing what you're both thinking can really ease the tension. Look at them, really look them over, and notice things about what they're wearing or how they're acting. Notice how they talk. Their accent. Look for if they're wearing something particularly nice, unique, or handmade-looking. Comment on these things that you notice. By letting them know that it's okay to talk to you and ask you questions, you can really help break the ice in your budding relationship. Say something like "If you have anything you want to ask me, go ahead." You can even give them more guidance. For example, "If you want to ask about my wooden leg, it's okay. I can talk about it." There's something to be said for just saying what you're thinking when it comes to the matters of the heart. If you see someone that you'd like to get to know better and then date, you can just tell them that. For some people it will be a turn off, but for most (especially the attractive ones) a break from all the games will be a nice breath of fresh air. Say something like, "I'm sorry, I saw you from across the room and I kind of felt like the air got punched out of my lungs. I just had to introduce myself or I'd never forgive myself." If they have a somewhat unusual name (old fashioned, ethnic, anything other than the standard Sarah/John), then comment on and ask them about their name. You can ask if they were named after someone, how their parents chose the name, and if they like their name, etc. The sneakiest and yet one of the most effective ways to break the ice with someone you don't know yet is to ask them to settle a bet for you. For example, say something like, "My buddy says this shirt makes me look like Bill Cosby during his blue period. What do you think?" or "All my friends say that guys won't go anywhere near girls with short hair. What do you think?"

Q: If you are involved with service work, take the opportunity to talk about volunteering. If you are not already involved in service work, don’t worry. You can start a new project, like volunteering at a food bank or nursing home.   Your health teacher may have an idea of places you can volunteer.  Set up a table in the cafeteria in a central location, or a location that people pass through.  Call them over and say, “Hi, can I talk to you about helping out the community?” Talk about your service opportunities.  Then finish by saying, “I hope you consider volunteering with me and voting for me for Homecoming King!” If you have a big social circle, don’t forget about other social groups. Don’t abandon your friends, but sit with new people in the lunchroom and during free periods once or twice a week. Make sure to talk to people you don’t usually talk to. It is not necessary to mention your bid for Homecoming King. Listen to what other people have to say, and enjoy getting to know different kinds of people.  You may even make new friends. Most schools have a week of school pride leading up to Homecoming.  Make sure people know that you love your school by participating in as many of the events as possible.  If possible, take on responsibilities when organizing events. Usually there is some element of dressing up on each day of pride week.  Coordinate fun or funny outfits with friends and classmates. Encourage as many people as possible to participate in pride week with you. Studies show that people who have central roles in communication between groups are considered more popular. Even if people seem less likable than others, they are considered more popular if they are vital to decision making processes.   Try to choose activities that require you to communicate with people one-on-one. Organizing a barbeque or a party is a good way to talk to many people at once.  If you are the one organizing it, lots of people will need to come to you for details. Don’t be exclusionary.  The point is to create a voting base that is as broad as possible.
A: Convince people that homecoming is not just a popularity contest. Seek out people in multiple social circles or cliques. Take on responsibilities during school pride week. Stay in contact with multiple people and cliques.

Article: Instead of dumping out your unused bleach, check to see if anyone you know personally could use it. You can do this by mentioning it to friends and family in-person or by message, or you can mention it in a social media post. For example, bring the bleach with you when you visit a family member to ask them if they would like the rest of it. Ask places such as churches, local nursing homes, homeless shelters, or food kitchens if they would like donated bleach. You can do this by calling them, sending them an email, or dropping by to ask in person. If you have a favorite local nonprofit, ask them if they could use your extra bleach. Websites such as Craigslist will allow you to post a picture and description of your bleach so that others nearby can come pick it up if they need it. You can also check out websites like Freecycle.org which are dedicated to recycling unused items.  Try posting on a Facebook classifieds page or group to see if anyone could use your extra bleach. Make it clear that the bleach is free and that the container is not completely full.
