Whether you are in class, hanging out in the common room, or at a club meeting, making eye contact is a great way to initiate interaction. Make eye contact with him from across the room a couple times. On the 3rd time, smile to let him know that you are friendly and approachable. Don’t be surprised if he walks over and introduces himself after noticing you. If he doesn't approach you after the 3rd eye contact, approach him yourself. Greet him with a smile and introduce yourself to him. Start a conversation by asking him a question.  For example: “Hi. My name is Taylor. I saw that you’re reading Game of Thrones. I love that show. How does the book compare to the series?” If he doesn't seem interested, it is okay. There are a lot of other guys on campus. You can ask him before class starts or after it ends. However, the likelihood of the question turning into a conversation may be greater if you ask him after class. It may even turn into a cup of coffee. If he seems studious, ask him if you can borrow his notes. Even though you both may have joined for similar reasons, asking him why he joined the club is a great way to get him talking. The more he talks, the more you can learn about his drives and passions. Having similar passions and drives is a great way to connect with someone. For example: “So why did you decide to join the Students for a Democratic Society?” Making a statement is simply expressing your opinion about a general situation. Unlike a question, a statement takes the pressure off of him, as well as you, to engage in a conversation. If he responds to your statement, he may be interested in a conversation. If he doesn't respond, then you really haven't risked anything. For example, you can say: "I look forward to coming to this class every day. It's so interesting", "The weather is so nice today", or even "The coffee here is the best!".

One-sentence summary -- Make eye contact and smile. Introduce yourself. Ask him what he thinks about the class if you’re in class. Inquire about his interest in the club. Make a statement instead of asking a question.

Q: Caring for any pet will require you to feed it a balanced and nutritious diet.  By receiving such a diet, your fish will stay happy and healthy.  Try including some of the following elements in your fish's diet.  Carbohydrates can be provided by some aquatic plants.  Most sources in prepared fish food come from wheat, oats, soy beans and rice. Oils and fats are necessary in your fish's diet.  Try to provide food with a range of 3-10% fat content, as too much fat can cause health problems. Protein is used to repair and maintain tissues and cells in the body.  Most fish flake formulas include protein from other fish, shrimp, algae or soy beans. Your fish will also need small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Even though you may have food to feed your fish, you still need to feed it the right amounts and at the right times of day.  Use the following guidelines to ensure that your fish is getting the most out of its food.  Feed your fish twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Feed your fish only what it can fully consume over the span of three minutes. The water your fish lives in will have to be properly maintained to help keep the fish as healthy as it can be.  Dirty or unhealthy water can cause your fish to become sick or even die.  Keep track of and maintain the following aspects of your fish's water.  Keep the water oxygenated.  Despite living in water, your fish still breathes oxygen. You will need an air pump and an air stone for your tank in order to oxygenate your water.  Adding plants can help as well. Some water filters will have an air pump built in.  If yours does, you won't need to buy a separate air pump or air stone. Monitor the temperature of the water.  Fish are unable to control their own body temperature and rely on the temperature of the water to survive. Place the tank in an area that keeps the water temperature at between 65° to 75°F. The final level that needs to be maintained is the pH level.  The pH level lets you know how acidic or basic the water is. Usually this level is the least of your worries, so check that every other parameter is acceptable first. Your fish will do best with a pH between 6.5 and 8.
A: Provide the best food for your fish. Properly feed your fish. Provide the best quality water for your fish.

Article: What is the girl really upset about? Is it something completely devastating, like the loss of a grandparent, or something a little more manageable, like a fight with a friend? The problem can help you find out what she wants the most. If she's dealing with a real loss, then you don't want to try to make her laugh or distract her with a ridiculous story; but if she's just dealing with some friend drama, then you can take a more lighthearted approach. But don't talk much about that reason, or she will just get madder. It's better to leave her alone for a couple minutes, and when you think that she is ready to talk to someone, go for it.  If you know her, you can ask a simple question, such as "What's bothering you?". If you don't know her well, you should introduce yourself and let her know that you'd like to help her feel better.  Not all problems are created equal. The more you know about the situation, the better you can know how to respond. This is important. If she says, "I want to be left alone" and she really means it, then you should give her some time to herself and not make her feel worse by sticking around when she just wants alone time. But if she says that and wants you there, then it's harder to pick up on; if you know her well, you'll know if she really wants to cool off or if she's just saying that because she doesn't want to bother you.  Is she the kind of girl who is often upset or is this the first time you have seen her like this? If she's been upset before, think of how you reacted then and try to do the same thing if it worked out. Ask if she wants to talk. See if she wants to have a conversation about the problem or if she just wants you to be there to offer moral support. Okay, so most girls would like a hug or some affection when they are upset. This is true if you're dating the girl or if you're close to her and she doesn't feel like you're making a move. Some girls, however, may not want a hug right when they're upset, and that's okay too. If you're close to her, just putting your arm around her or touching her shoulder, hand, or knee will make her feel better.  When she's upset, what she wants most of all is to feel that you're really there for her, and giving her some affection will do this. Bring her a tissue, a cup of tea, a warm blanket, and anything else she needs to feel more comfortable.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Read the situation. Figure out what she wants. Give her some affection.

Article: If you have a stove-top oven, you can clean the stove surface with baking soda in the same way you would the oven. Simply let baking soda and water/vinegar sit overnight and wipe down in the morning.  Remove grates if possible on a gas stove. Also note that you want to avoid allowing baking soda and water to drip down into the ignition area, so keep baking soda to a paste and apply carefully on gas stoves. Remember to wipe down the cooking surface thoroughly with a clean damp cloth once the baking soda and grime is removed, then let dry. A glass-top electric stove will smoke easily from any baking soda residue or other moisture when it is turned on.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Treat a stovetop in the same way.
