Problem: Article: Women on dating sites get dozens of messages a week from men saying nothing more than "Hi, how are you, want to meet me?" This creates the impression that many men are lazily sending the same message to as many women as possible, hoping to get a response from at least one of them, and trying to sound cool and nonchalant. This strategy backfires. You want to sound specifically interested in her, not desperate for a date with just anyone. It doesn't take long, and most people say that poor writing is an instant turn-off. Be friendly.
Summary: When messaging a potential date, say something friendly and thoughtful about her profile. Check your spelling and grammar. If she responds with questions about you, take the time to answer them.

Problem: Article: Slowly place your hand in the cage (but not too close), until the bird is comfortable. Shy or nervous birds may require several sessions before they are comfortable with your hand. Be persistent, and always make sure to move slowly to avoid startling the bird. Stand just above the bird’s eye level in order to establish dominance. Standing too tall can frighten the bird, and crouching too low may display submission on your part. Make sure to move your hand slowly, and to hold your hand steady and with confidence. Birds will become nervous if their handler is nervous, and will become reluctant or scared to step onto your finger if your hand wobbles or you drop the bird during these early sessions. Apply gentle pressure so that the bird is put slightly off balance. The bird should lift a leg when it feels off-balance. When this occurs, place your finger under its foot and lift gently – the bird should step up on to your finger or hand.  If the bird is nervous or bites, you may have to begin training with a wood dowel until it becomes more comfortable. A bird may use its beak to steady itself, or even bite your finger or hand. If this occurs do not suddenly pull away or show fear, as the bird may be frightened or read this as a sign of submission. ”  Use the bird’s name when you say “step up,” and be generous with praise. Many birds, particularly if they are young, will step onto your finger with a little encouragement, as a finger resembles a perch.  When your bird steps-up, praise it and give it a special treat you prepared before beginning. Even if the bird only raises one foot to your hand you should praise and reward it. With repetition and encouragement the bird will learn to associate the command "step up" with perching on your hand or arm. Following the same steps, accustom the bird to your weaker hand. Animals of habit, birds may refuse to perch on your opposite hand unless you take the time to train them during this initial period. As your bird becomes comfortable, you can begin taking it out of the cage before repeating the step-up training. If your bird is shy or nervous and refuses to step on to your finger or hand, use a wooden dowel instead.  Once the bird steps up on to the dowel, move on to the "laddering" technique. Place your finger beside and slightly higher than the perched bird and encourage it to move to the new perch. Accompany each step with the "step up" command, and be generous with praise when the bird follows your command. Have the bird continue moving from dowel to finger and finger to dowel until the training session is over. Birds have unique temperaments and may be shy or nervous, and thus it is important to exercise patience as you train your bird every day.  Make a routine of the training sessions. Your bird will learn to anticipate your training sessions together. Reward even small amounts of progress with praise and treats. Encouragement is the best way to make your bird comfortable and teach it to follow your commands.
Summary: Familiarize the bird with your hand. Offer your hand to the bird. Slowly and gently push your finger against the bird's lower chest, right above his legs. Encourage the bird to “step up. Repeat the training with the other hand. Stick train your bird. Be persistent, but patient.

Problem: Article: Combine the wheat and ghee in a medium saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Roast the wheat until it’s toasted, slightly browned, and aromatic.  You can also dry roast the wheat in the saucepan, but make sure you stir constantly to avoid burning.  You can also cook sweet dalia in a pressure cooker. Stir the wheat and water together and cover the pan. Stay close to the pan, because the mixture could froth up and boil over very quickly. Cook the wheat for 10 to 12 minutes, until it’s absorbed the water and taken on a soft and tender consistency. If the pan does boil over, remove the lid and stir the mixture. Place the lid on halfway to prevent it from boiling over again. Stir to incorporate the milk and spice into the wheat mixture. Leave the saucepan uncovered and continue cooking the dalia over medium-low heat. Stir regularly until the dalia reaches the consistency you like. For runnier dalia, cook the mixture just long enough to heat the milk, about 1 to 2 minutes. For a thicker and more porridge-like consistency, cook the mixture for about 5 minutes so the wheat absorbs more of the milk. Stir to mix all the ingredients evenly throughout the dalia. Leave the dalia on the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar and heat the nuts and raisins. Taste the dalia before serving and add more sugar or milk, to taste. You can add a variety of extra ingredients to the sweet dalia, including dried fruit chunks, chopped figs, pieces of dates, and spices like cinnamon and saffron.
Summary: Roast the cracked wheat in the ghee. Add the water. Add the milk and cardamom. Add the sugar, nuts, and raisins.
