Q: Asking her out while she is in a group or around people in general may embarrass her. Instead, wait until you have the opportunity to spend some time alone together. It should be your goal to make her feel as comfortable as possible when you ask her out. At this point, you should have built up some kind of relationship with her. Act like you usually do around her. Acting too nervous or overbearing could make her feel uncomfortable. Approach at a time when you normally see her. If you want to make the moment special, you could ask her to go for a walk in the park first This is an easy way to give her an idea that you like her and think highly of her. You can compliment her looks by saying “You look beautiful today.” Or, you can compliment aspects of her personality. For example, you could say “I think you are incredibly smart and kind.” Don’t overdo the compliments. One or two nice compliments to begin with is enough. You can ask her as casually or as formally as you’d like. If you want to be casual, say something like "Hey we can grab dinner later if you aren’t busy.” If you want to make sure your intentions are clear you can say, “I’m really starting to like you, and I would like to take you out on a date if that’s okay with you.” If she says no, simply back down and say maybe another time. If she says yes, act pleased and make plans. Either way, you should react in a way that makes her feel comfortable. Don’t be angry with her if she says she’s not interested.
A: Wait until she is alone. Approach her in a casual manner. Start with a compliment. Ask her to go a date with you. Give a positive reaction to her answer.

Q: A professional mental health therapist can help you identify the source of your negative emotions and develop healthy skills to lead a more satisfying life. Your self-worth may have been jeopardized by unhealthy relationships or abuse from your past. Talking about these experiences in a unbiased and supportive context can lead to healing.  One recognized form of therapy for those who self-sabotage is dialectical behavior therapy. This treatment approach is directed at gaining a better understanding of your feelings in order to build skills that help you stop problematic behaviors. You may work with your therapist to prevent overeating, stop risky sexual activities, and establish healthy relational patterns.  Another is cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT will help you identify beliefs that fuel your self-worth. Once you identify those beliefs, you can explore their origins and validity and eventually replace them with thoughts and beliefs that are true. Self-sabotage is prominent in people who feel depressed but do not know how to express or improve their emotions. If feeling unloved has led to depressive symptoms, you need to see a doctor.  Depression may manifest as a loss of interest in once pleasurable activities, withdrawing from loved ones, having trouble eating or sleeping, and feeling hopeless. A certain class of prescribed medications known as antidepressants are effective at improve depressive symptoms. This may be advisable if therapy alone does not improve your symptoms. Support is imperative for anyone struggling with mental illness. It's vital to build a network of health care providers and loved one who are there for you as you heal. However, meeting with other people who have gone through what you are going through can also be comforting. Ask your mental health provider about support groups for people who are struggling with the same issues as you. Attending these groups can help you learn how others cope with feeling unloved and help you gain a sense of belonging in a supportive group.
A: See a therapist. Determine if you require medication for depression. Take part in a support group.

Q: If you were required to fast prior to the blood test, you’ll want to bring a snack for after the test. Also bring a bottle of water and a snack that doesn’t require refrigeration. This will tide you over until you are able to eat a meal.  Peanut butter crackers, a peanut butter sandwich, a handful of almonds or walnuts, or whey protein are all easy to transport and will give you some protein and calories until you can get a meal. If you forgot to bring anything to eat, ask the staff where you have had blood drawn. They may keep cookies or crackers around for just this purpose. Some tests can be finished within 24 hours while others can take a week or more if the blood must be shipped to a special laboratory. Talk with your doctor about the process used to deliver the results of the blood test. In some cases the office will not notify you if the results are all within normal limits. If the blood is sent off, also ask how long it will be before the office gets the results from the laboratory.  Ask to be notified, even if the results are normal. This will ensure that your results don’t "fall through the cracks" and you aren’t notified if the results are not normal. Call the doctor’s office 36 to 48 hours after the results should have arrived if you are not notified. Ask your doctor’s office if they use an online notification system. You may be given a website to register through so your results can be delivered digitally to you. The most common side effect to having blood drawn is a bruise, or hematoma, at the site where the needle went in. The bruise can show up immediately or within 24 hours after the blood was drawn. Some of the factors that contribute to the formation of a hematoma include blood leaking out of the opening when a needle goes through a vein, which leaks into the surrounding tissue. They can also be caused by bleeding disorders or anticoagulant medications, which increases the risk that a bruise or hematoma will occur where the blood is drawn.  Applying pressure over the area where the blood was drawn for five minutes, which is longer than necessary to stop the area from bleeding to the outside, will often help to reduce the risk of a hematoma, or a collection of blood outside of a blood vessel.  Hemophilia is the most well-known bleeding disorder, but it is also fairly rare. It comes in two forms - A & B. Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common bleeding disorder, and affects how your blood clots.  Patients should let their doctor and phlebotomist know they have a bleeding disorder when they get their blood drawn. There are certain situations that can lead to inaccurate results on your blood tests. Prolonged tourniquet application can lead to a pooling of blood in the arm or extremity where the blood was being drawn. This increases the concentration of blood and increases the potential for false positive or negative results on the blood tests.  The tourniquet should be in place for no longer than one minute to prevent pooling, also called hemoconcentration. If longer than a minute is needed to locate a choice vein, then the tourniquet should be released and reapplied after two minutes and only immediately before the needle is inserted. Hemolysis is a problem with the blood sample and not a complication which you experience. Hemolysis happens when the red blood cells rupture and other components spill into the blood serum. Hemolyzed blood is not acceptable for testing and another blood sample will have to be drawn. Hemolysis is more likely to occur when:  The tube is mixed vigorously after being removed from the needle. Drawing blood from a vein near a hematoma. Using a smaller needle which damages the cells as they are drawn into the tube. Excessive fist clenching during the blood draw. Leaving the tourniquet on for more than one minute.
A:
Eat a snack. Ask how long you’ll wait for results. Notice a bruise. Ask about a possible result complications. Discuss hemolysis with the phlebotomist.
