Article: If you're going to start a conversation with a girl via text, don't start with "hey" or "what's up" or the kissy-face emoji. It's important to give her something interesting or complicated to respond to, or she'll quickly get bored and so will you. Start with a comment, question, or observation, always.  "Do they sell bus tickets to Acapulco in this town? I'm bored of being in my house watching this dog lick its paw. Planning an escape. What do you say?" "Whoever said I'm not creative. Just found a way to make a sandwich out of chips and rice. Totally winning at Saturday. Can you beat that?" "Coach keeps talking about 'grabbing the brass ring' and I keep thinking about Frodo. YOU SHALL NOT PASS. So I'm thinking, LOTR movie night? Thoughts?" What are you doing right now? If you want a response, and want to have an actual conversation, it's better to talk about something that matters right now, instead of something that you could talk about any time. "Hey how are you" doesn't count.  "Math homework = killing me. Not sure I'll finish. How far have you gotten? Help with number five?" "Done with practice. Pretty sure mom forgot to pick me up. Looks like I live in the parking lot now." "Quick: Channel Five. That girl from our English class is being interviewed and she looks totally ridiculous." If you're texting with a girlfriend, it's a good idea to be a little flirty with your texts. You don't have to go over-the-top, but learning to steer something around to your feelings with this girl is always a plus.  "I'm walking past the park. Thinking of that time we kissed on the swings. Miss you." "Just saw a mallard duck couple waddling around. NOT SO CUTE AS WE : )" "Saturday is free for me. Got all day to spend with you. What should we do?" Questions are a great way to start conversations via text. But don't ask questions that can be answered with one word, especially if those words are "yes" or "no." Instead, coax her into a conversation by asking more complicated questions that will take a little more thought on her end, and give you more to respond to on yours.  Don't ask, "What are you up to?" Instead,  "Thoughts?" Don't ask, "Did you have fun at practice?" or "How was school?" Instead, ask "What did you think of that test today?" or "What was the worst part of practice?" Don't ask, "Do you like Italian food?" ask, "What do you think of Italian food?" Don't probe, or ask inappropriate questions. You don't always have to text words to get a conversation started. If you see a picture of something funny, snap a quick pic and send it to your girlfriend with a funny caption, or ask her to comment on it to get a conversation started.  If you see something strange, like a pigeon with its head in a box of Chinese takeout, snap a pic and send it with the line, "Not sure what's going on here, other than winning at life. Is it weird that I'm jealous of this guy?" If you just read something funny, like a Buzzfeed list of dog pictures, or a silly article from the Onion, send it to her via text and tell her what you thought was funny about it. Then text about it after she's read. Be careful about picture texting. Never send unsolicited naked pictures to a girl. Keep it PG.

Continue to unscrew the bolt until the pedal comes off.You may need a friend to help you hold the bike in place while you unscrew the pedals.
