INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure you look your best. If you haven't taken a lot of care about your appearance around her before, this will be a good immediate signal that you've taken things up a notch. But it's nice to look your best anyway, as it increases your confidence too. You shouldn't suddenly put a ton of gel in your hair or wear a suit when you hang out, but making an extra effort with your looks will make her notice you more and will make her see that you're starting to view her differently. Try to dress nicely when you are around her, make sure you have showered, shaved, and done whatever to make sure you look good. But don't turn up in a tuxedo or reeking of aftershave. Dress for the occasion, and smelling like you've just bathed in cologne is a turn off, not a turn on. Less is more with scent. If you look good, you feel good. Taking an effort with your appearance is a way of saying "Look! I bothered to make myself look nice, and I take care of myself. I care enough about you to dress well." While you may already have a fun relationship, humor can be a path to winning her heart. Try joking around more often and being playful in her presence. Tell her things that are genuinely really funny and help her to see that you're the kind of guy who loves to find the humor and fun in life. Glance at her in suggestive ways, then laugh when she starts looking serious about it (don't come across as a staring oddball).  Find ways to compare your relationship to other funny people you know in real life or in entertainment circles. Even better if these people are romantically attached. Examples of some famous couples brought together by comedy include: Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt and Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann. Sometimes tickle games can work but be careful. If you come across as trying to "cop a feel", you're doomed. Moreover, not all girls like tickling. Take your cue from her responsiveness and never overdo it even if she does like it. Be prepared to be tickled in turn. Teasing the girl slightly is a great way to be playful and to flirt with her a bit. Just make sure you don't end up offending her by mistake. You may already be quite affectionate toward one another. However, it's now time to amp up the contact in ways that could be considered flirtatious without crossing the line. For example, aim to touch her at least three times each time you meet up with her. Touch for no longer than two to three seconds (long enough for it to register subconsciously) and only touch her where it won't be uncomfortable, such as her hand, shoulder or neck.  Share food. The act of sharing one another's food when out dining or having a snack is intimate and can increase the chances of closeness. Hugs are good. They express friendship but also help increase the closeness that might help you to become more than friends. Do things for her, like helping her out whenever you can. This could be anything from housework and maintenance to homework and preparing for interviews. Helpfulness is a sign of being considerate, which is very sexy. She'll see that you care about her and want to do nice things for her. Just make sure you don't do everything for her, or she'll think of you as a puppy dog. She should do nice things for you, too. Being useful and helpful does not mean be bossy or superior. If she can do something herself, admire her ability openly rather than suggest you could do it better. Nothing scares off a potential romantic interest than arrogance or belittling. Don't just sit there and nod your head pretending to listen. Girls love it when you listen and take the time to truly understand them. Not only that, but listening will benefit the potential future relationship and also strengthen your current friendship. Show her that you can be boyfriend material by being a gentleman.  When she talks to you, make eye contact and put away your phone or other distractions. Let her see that you really care about every word she says. Avoid interrupting her. Wait until she's finished to say what you have to say. Good ones to remember include her birthday, siblings, phone number, favourite food, favourite colors, hobbies, ambition and things that she has already told you. Write down these important details if your memory is not good; it may help jog your memory just before important chats. This will help her see that you really do care about her.

SUMMARY: Take care of your appearance. Be more playful. Increase the physical contact. Be useful. Listen to her attentively. Remember details about her by heart.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your windshield is clean but your wiper blades are dirty, you will still get streaks on your windshield. Gently pull your windshield wipers away from their resting position and towards the front of the car. Fill a small bucket with warm water and dish soap. Dip a clean wash cloth in the soapy water and wring it out until it’s damp. Next, use the cloth to clean the windshield wipers with smooth, gentle motions.  The windshield wipers should move from their resting position into their “cleaning” position easily. If you feel too much resistance when moving them, stop and refer to your car manual. Don’t get soapy water on your clean windshield or you may undo all of your hard work! The rubber ridge on the edge of the wipers is the most important part of the windshield wiper. If this part of the windshield wiper isn’t dry and flexible it won’t connect with the windshield properly. Using a clean microfiber cloth, gently dry the rubber ridge of the wipers with a smooth pulling motion. Next, dampen a small section of a clean microfiber cloth with rubbing alcohol. Wipe the rubbing alcohol along the rubber ridge to speed drying and condition the rubber.  Pinch the edge of the wipers with the cloth when drying them. This will help maintain the sharp edge of the rubber. Wipe in the same direction when using a cloth on windshield wipers. Start from the part closest to the car and move out towards the edge. It can be easy to forget to do this, especially if you live in a dry climate. However, even sunlight can damage the delicate rubber ridge on your windshield wiper. A damaged rubber ridge will lead to streaking and limited visibility while you drive. Besides, it’s better to be safe than sorry!  If you are handy with cars, you can replace them yourself. However, make sure you use the correct windshield wiper for your car. Most people prefer to change their windshield wipers at the end of winter just before the spring rains start.

SUMMARY:
Wash the wiper blades. Dry the edge of the wipers. Replace your windshield wipers yearly.
