Summarize the following:
If your goal is to let a guy know that you're interested, all of your charms should be focused squarely on him. Splitting your attention up between multiple guys may create the impression that you’re naturally outgoing or not looking for anything serious, which could in turn cool things off between you and your potential beau. You should still make an effort to be friendly with the other guys you talk to, but watch your body language to keep from sending mixed signals. Pick out items that flatter your figure and make you look and feel like a million bucks. If possible, plan your outfit ahead of time when you know there’s a chance that you’ll run into the guy you’ve had your eye on. And, of course, make sure it's suitable for the occasion.  Focus on one part of your body to emphasize. If your favorite pair of jeans makes your legs look great, choose a shirt, shoes, and other accessories that won’t be a distraction.  There’s a difference between put-together and provocative. Wearing clothes that are too tight or revealing can make you look desperate for attention, which could be offputting to the guy if you arrange to run into him unexpectedly. Every now and then, fly solo to the bar, café, gym, or library where your interest hangs out. You’ll be more approachable alone than you would be in a group. If he still doesn’t know you that well, he may find it difficult to approach you when you’re surrounded by fifteen of your best friends.  Encountering your interest unaccompanied will give the two of you a chance to chat in a more intimate one-on-one environment. You don’t necessarily need to be completely solitary, but opting for a small entourage over a big one will make talking to you less intimidating. If you run into your interest at a party, crowded night spot, or boisterous social event, break away from all the excitement going on around you and retire to somewhere more private. You’ll be able to enjoy some quality time alone, and you won’t have to shout in order to hear each other. Outdoor environments are often preferable to indoor ones, since it’s easier to take your leave from these areas than it is from a jam-packed room. If you’ve been getting along well for a while and he still hasn’t made a move, it may be time to take matters into your own hands. Asking him “Would you like to go out with me sometime?” or even “Is it alright if I kiss you?” will leave no doubt in his mind that you want to take things to the next level. Be patient and give him a chance to work up his nerve before you put all your cards on the table. Out of respect, he may be waiting until he’s sure it’s what you want before he risks offending you.

summary: Save the flirting for him. Wear clothes that highlight your best features. Go out by yourself. Excuse yourselves to a place where you can talk quietly. Be the one to make the first move.


Summarize the following:
This is very important as water may not enough to get rid of any pesticides. For the best flavor, use the hibiscus sabdariffa variety. If you are simply drying the flowers for craft projects, they do not have to be pesticide-free. Pick the flowers off of the plant 1 by 1, and place them into a bowl or basket. Once the container is full, go through the flowers, and pull off the yellow stamens in the center. Leave the stems on the flower, as this will make them easier to dry. Plan on using 8 to 10 flowers for a single pot of tea. Fill a large, clean bowl with water. Working 1 flower at a time, dip the flowers into the water, swish it around, then lift it out and set it aside. The swishing will help dislodge anything caught between the petals and the green part. If the plant had insects on it, be sure to pry open the petals and the green part of the flowers once the flower is under the water. This can be an actual drying rack used for cooling off baked goods, or it can be a small, clean window screen. You can even use a crisper sheet that you use for making cookies. Weave thin wire over the flowers and under the holes on the drying rack. Keep the wire taut enough so that it keeps the flowers secure, but loose enough so that it doesn't crush the flowers.  Keep the flowers at an angle under the wire, so that the wire goes between the petals. You can use any type of thin wire, such as jewelry wire or floral wire. You can even use twist ties from a pack of garbage bags. Keep doing this every day until the flowers dry completely. They will shrink and turn brittle. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is, as well as how sunny it is. Expect to wait at least 3 days.  It is very important that you bring the flowers indoors for the evening, as any morning dew will reverse the drying process. Keep the flowers in the driest, sunniest spot in your garden, patio, or balcony. Check on the flowers once or twice daily until they dry. If you notice that the flowers are only drying on 1 side, rotate them. Place 8 to 10 dried hibiscus flowers into a tea pot. Add some flavoring if desired, then fill the pot with boiled water. Let the tea steep for 20 minutes, then strain it. Sweeten the tea with honey, if desired, then serve it hot or cold.  For a warm, sweet flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon and a slice of prance peel. If you want something refreshing, try a mint leaf and a slice of orange peel. For a more tart flavor, add a squeeze of lime just before serving the tea. Grind the petals into a fine powder in a blender. Pour the petals through a fine, mesh sieve into a jar, to help break them up further. Close the jar, and use the powder as desired.  You can now add the petals to homemade cosmetics, such as blush, lip gloss, and hair masks. You can also use a food processor, a coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle to grind the flowers. You can add hibiscus to your cooking just like you would other edible flowers, such as roses and violets. For example, you can use the dried flowers to infuse meringues or simple sugar syrups. You can even use it in marinades, especially for lamb!
summary: Find a pesticide-free hibiscus if you are using it for food or cosmetics. Pick the flowers and remove the stamens. Dip the flowers in water to remove any dust and insects. Spread the flowers out on a drying rack. Secure the flowers with thin wire if it is windy. Leave the flowers outside in the sun, but bring them inside at night. Use 8 to 10 flowers to brew a pot of tea. Grind the flowers into a powder if you wish to use them for cosmetics. Use the hibiscus flower in your cooking for extra flavor and color.
