Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Explore your attraction. Take a second look. Put yourself out there. Try online.

Answer: Physical attraction is often the first step in developing a crush. Don’t feel shallow for initially being drawn to someone because you like how tall they are or because their eyes make you swoon. When it comes to attraction, humans have biological impulses.  Look around you at work or at school. If someone makes your heart flutter on first sight, try to meet them. Find excuses to spend time around them like asking them to help you with a school or work project. Don’t discount people because they aren’t your “type.” Sometimes crushes come in the least expected packages, so don't lose opportunity by being close-minded. Not all crushes come out of initial physical attraction. Look at the friends and acquaintances you already have. Who do you find yourself wanting to spend the most time with? Have you ever had an inkling of something more than friendship with any of them?  Look for the laughs. Genuine and frequent laughter is often a good sign of initial compatibility. If someone makes you smile, it’s worth a lot.   If you know a friend has a crush on you but you’re not sure if you’re physically attracted to the person, ask yourself some questions about the emotional side of things. Try writing a list of all the things you like about that person. Ask yourself how the list makes you feel. Often, as emotional attraction grows, physical attraction follows. It’s simple—if you don’t put yourself into new situations, you won’t meet new people. Try attending events and joining activities that reflect your interests. This will help you meet like-minded people and give you an automatic conversation starter. It’s not for everyone, but it’s an undeniable part of dating today. Online dating can be an easy way to break the ice and find people with similar interests. If you use online dating, be sure to meet in person as soon as you can. There’s no substitute for body language in conversion, and you’ll be able to determine if the spark is really there.  Research dating sites. Like dating in real life, different dating sites are right for different people. They all offer different types of services and levels of customization.   Don’t overlook social media. Social media can be a great way to reconnect with old flames or old friends or to meet new people. It takes some of the risk out of online dating. Through someone’s social media profile, you can see a slightly less curated version of their lives and check if you have mutual friends or interests. Sending a quick, personal message is painless, and there’s no pressure for the other person to respond if they aren’t interested.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask them to repeat themselves. Explain why the comment is inappropriate. Explain that some slang isn’t OK to say outside of that ethnic group. Deliver a comeback about their own racial group. Commit to making an impact against racism.

Answer: Make the person repeat what they said to you. This way, they must have the courage to say it again when they have your full attention. Also, you have the opportunity to verify what you heard before reacting. Once they repeat themselves, you might simply use silence to show your disapproval or you might ask questions like, “Do you really believe that?” In some situations, particularly if the person is close to you or if they may be repeating what they’ve heard elsewhere, it can help to educate them. If they are willing to listen, let them know why their comment was hurtful, racist, and inappropriate. You might say, “I’m assuming you spoke out of ignorance on this subject, so I’ll correct you. It is very hurtful to hear you make comments about my skin color or racial group. Even if what you said is true for one person, it’s not true for us all. I’m sure you can think of many differences among people in your own racial group… Please don’t say that again.” People of a particular ethnicity will sometimes refer to each other with slang terms that aren’t acceptable for people of another ethnicity to use. Explain to the person calling you that it’s okay to use that name outside of the particular ethnic group and with someone you’re not close to.  Say, “Maybe you’ve heard me use that name with my friends, but it means something different when you’re saying it to me in this situation.” Most people who make racist comments aren’t accustomed to people turning the tables on them. Make a point to show them what it feels like to be called a racist name by repeating a stereotype you have heard about their racial group.  Once you’ve shared the stereotype, you might follow up with something like, “Now, I don’t believe that about your race, but you can see how it feels to be the victim of a stereotype. Maybe next time you’ll think twice about repeating one.”  Only do this with someone you know and whom you think is likely to be receptive to your example. Another way to do something positive for yourself and potentially impact others who experience racist insults is volunteerism and advocacy. Look up groups in your area that stand up against racism or inequality. Join one and do your part to reduce racial intolerance. Start by visiting the United Nations’ website to learn what you can do to fight racism.
