Q: As much as you want to gain the approval of a girl, altering your personality to do so isn’t the way to go! Even if it works in the short-term, you’ll feel fake and happy, and chances are she’ll eventually find out who you really are. Know who you are. Own up to your thoughts and feelings in life. Being genuine and self-assured is appealing to girls and will make you feel good about yourself, too.  Avoid becoming overly generous or aggressive in an attempt to win her over. This can come across as fake or even offensive--not the way you want to portray yourself!  Put less attention into pleasing girls, too. Appreciate your flaws and don’t let them distract you. If you like yourself and become comfortable with who you are, then you will be more comfortable around other people. And even if things don't go well, it won't matter as much! Only you can make yourself happy. If you like yourself, that's the most important thing. Maintaining proper hygiene makes you look and feel better. Take a shower in the morning. Wash your hair. Put on deodorant and clean clothes before you go outside. When you’re around girls, the last thing you want to worry about is how you smell! Keep yourself clean to make sure it’s never a problem. You may choose to put a little perfume or cologne on your neck and shoulders. If you do, use it sparingly! You don’t want to overwhelm the people around you. If possible, go out and find some clothes that are right for you. They don’t have to be expensive, but they should fit well and feel comfortable on you. Besides making you look good, clothes that you like wearing make you feel more confident and able to focus on girls instead of your appearance.  Try observing those around you for ideas on what’s fashionable, but remember that a good outfit is one that reflects your own unique style. Ask store employees for feedback. Ask politely and they’ll be happy to guide you to a proper fit. You can have fun with girls doing what they want to do, but remember to take time out for yourself and continue to do what makes you happy. If that’s watching science fiction and reading comics, go ahead and do it. Never feel ashamed of your interests! Pursuing them is what makes you happier, more genuine and more pleasant to be around. It’s natural to find yourself getting completely absorbed in a girl you like. Remember to take a step back some days and give yourself some space to focus on doing something you love, like playing sports or a videogame. . Being tense around girls makes them tense too. If you’re looking around trying to figure out what to say or how to escape the situation, you aren’t focusing on the girl. Breathe deeply before approaching and when not speaking. Stay present and focus your attention on the girl, instead of on an anxious feeling. Stay positive and remind yourself that nothing bad will happen, because chances are, everything will be just fine. Most people are absorbed in their own lives and aren’t out to embarrass you or make you feel bad. If you think you’ve made a mistake or embarrassed yourself, don’t worry about it; chances are, everyone else will forget it ever happened. Starting out befriending a girl you’re interested in is a good idea, but if you have feelings for her, don’t hide them. Work towards starting a relationship, paying attention to her. If you hide your feelings, she won’t know how you feel and can feel betrayed or in a bad position when she does find out. Conversely, don’t lead on a girl if you only want to be friends. Remember the tried and true (if somewhat cheesy) saying: Honesty is the best policy! Remember to respect her boundaries. Don’t push your feelings upon her if she doesn’t return your interest. She’ll be grateful and will be more likely to want to be friends, even if she doesn’t return your feelings.
A: Be yourself. Clean yourself up. Dress well. Do what you enjoy. Relax Be honest with your intentions.

Q: Even though most outdoor speakers are designed to withstand the elements, you will get a lot more life out of them if you protect them a little. Try to place your speakers under eaves or underneath the patio roof to help protect the speakers from the weather. Speakers should be about 8-10 feet (2.5-3 m) apart. If the speakers are too close together, the sound will be muddled and the speakers will overlap. If the speakers are too far apart, it will be difficult to hear and you will lose any stereo effects. A pair of speakers covers two channels: left and right. The two of these together creates a stereo sound. When installing more than a single pair of speakers, it is important to alternate left and right channels to ensure a proper stereo mix. This becomes especially important if you are installing a large number of speakers.  If you are installing more than one speaker along a wall, alternate left and right channels along that wall. If you are installing speakers in a box around your patio, install the two left channels in opposing corners, and the two right channels in the other opposing corners. Make sure that the sound quality and projection is acceptable before mounting the speaker. Listening before installing can save you a lot of time and headache when you turn the system on for the first time. More speakers is better than higher volume. If you are having difficulty hearing the sound everywhere you want, consider adding another pair of speakers instead of trying to crank the volume to the max. Mounting your speakers high allows the sound to project much further, which can give you more coverage for less speakers. If you mount them near or above 10 feet (3 m), however, you will lose a lot of the bass. Try to keep your speakers between 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) off the ground. This will also provide a better listening experience, and help minimize noise pollution for your neighbors. Most brackets allow you to mount at an angle, and many contain swivels that you can position exactly how you want. The mounting process will vary depending on the type of bracket, but you'll usually need to drill into the mounting location. This may mean you will need a drill bit that can penetrate masonry.  Only mount speakers on solid wood or masonry. Avoid mounting on cedar or aluminum siding, otherwise the speakers may start to sag. This can cause vibrations, which will lower the sound quality, or the speakers can fall entirely. Use the included brackets. Outdoor speaker brackets are already treated for weather. If you try to replace the brackets with ones not designed for outdoor use, they may rust and become weak. These provide a much more reliable connection than bare wire, which is essential for outdoor speakers. Banana plugs connect directly into the speaker wire clips on the back of the speaker and receiver.  To install banana plugs, you will need to strip the end of the speaker wires. Each speaker wire has two wires: a red and a black. Pull them apart to separate them and give you some room to work. Each of these will need to be stripped about 3/4 of an inch from the end of the wire. Once the wire is stripped, unscrew the end of the banana plug and slip the exposed wire into the end. Once the wire is inserted, tighten the banana plug screw. Repeat this for the other exposed wire.
A:
Place your speakers in sheltered areas. Space your speakers out. Alternate channels. Listen to the speakers before mounting them. Mount the speakers high, but not too high. Tilt the speakers down to promote drainage. Mount according to the instructions. Connect speakers using banana plugs.
