Q: If you’re friends with the person, then you can comment on one of their posts. At first, make generic comments like, “Wow, your dog is so cute.” As you begin to interact more, you can leave more specific comments, such as, “I can always count on you for a good laugh.” The more you interact with the person, the closer you’ll get to a real relationship. You can also comment on shared or viral articles, opening you up to even more potential singles. This is a bit harder, but if you start an interaction with someone in the comments, you could send them a friend request and see what happens. If the person is a mutual friend or casual connection via a group or comment thread, send them a friend request after you’ve had an exchange with them. They may not accept the request, but you’ll never know if you don’t try. It’s a lot easier to make a connection if you’re “friends” with someone, so it’s worth the risk! Remember, you might not otherwise encounter the person again anytime soon. If you’ve been commenting on their posts and getting a response from them either through replies or comments on your posts, then it’s time to flirt. Gently let them know that you're interested in them.  For example, you could write, “You look stunning!” under one of their photos. You could also gently suggest a date idea, such as, “I have an extra ticket if you're interested in going to this week's game.” Don’t say anything overly suggestive. You could simply say “hello,” but it’s more effective to message them about something you have in common or have discussed in the newsfeed. The goal is to get them talking so that you can make a connection and eventually ask for a date. For example, you could send a message about a favorite band that you both enjoy. You could write, “Hey, I remembered that you love Pearl Jam as much as I do. I saw that they’re going to be in concert soon. Are you getting tickets?” After you’ve been interacting with them for awhile and they seem responsive to you, it’s time to ask them out. If you’ve been discussing your similar interests with them, it’s a good idea to choose one of those. For example, you could go to a sporting event you both love or see the latest installment in a franchise you both follow.  You can always ask them out as friends first. Consider starting with a group activity that includes mutual friends.
A: Comment on a photo or post. Add the person as a friend if they aren’t one already. Start flirting once you’ve established a back-and-forth interaction. Send them a direct message. Ask for a date.

Q: This is another way of saying that your hydrangea produces new spring blooms on last year's buds. Hydrangeas with this characteristic tend to bloom in early summer, and the flowers die by mid summer. At this point the shrub begins producing the buds that will bloom the following year. Hydrangeas that bloom on old wood include the following:   Bigleaf, Mopleaf or Lacecap hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla and H. serrata) Oakleaf hydrangeas (H. quercifolia) Use the images at http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/identify.html to help you identify what kind of hydrangea you have before you start making any plans to prune your plant. Since these types of hydrangeas start producing buds soon after blooming, in late summer and early fall, it's essential to prune them just as the blooms begin to fade in mid-summer. This way you can trim the shrub before it begins to produce the buds that will turn into next year's flowers. The longer you wait, the likelier it will be that you'll cut off some of next year's growth.  If you've missed this window, just wait until next year to prune the hydrangea. Hydrangeas don't have to be pruned every year, so it won't be a problem to wait. If you're unhappy with your hydrangea's shape, you can go ahead and prune - just know that in doing so outside of the short midsummer window, you'll risk hurting it's appearance next spring. Right after they're spent, use hand shears to deadhead the blooms. Do this by making clips just under the heads at the tips of the stems. This will tidy up the hydrangea's appearance during the blooming season. You can also remove dead or dying canes at this time; trim them at their base. When a hydrangea is several years old, it'll start to produce fewer blooms. You can promote fresh growth by taking out some of the older canes - up to 1/3 of them. For thicker canes, you may need loppers to cut them. Cut these older canes to the ground. If your hydrangea has grown quite large, you can prune it in June or July (just after the blooming season) to contain it a bit. Trim back the branches by 1/3 to the nearest joint. In most cases hydrangeas will grow back quite quickly, so you may not be able to maintain the smaller size for long.  This type of pruning isn't necessary for the health of the plant. Only do it if your hydrangea is taking up too much space. When planting new hydrangeas, it's best to choose a spot where they can grow freely. "Endless Summer" hydrangeas are an exception to the rule. This variety is more low-maintenance than others and can really be pruned at any season - there is no "bad time."  Endless Summer hydrangeas can mainly be left alone until they mature. You can then "deadhead" the plant in the spring or fall to encourage new flowers.
A:
Determine if your hydrangea blooms on old wood. Prune just after the blooming peak. Remove old blooms. Remove the oldest canes. Prune the hydrangea to reduce its size.
