Article: You can walk and talk like a player, but if you don't have the right mindset, the ladies will be turned off. Before you become a true player, you have to work to have true self-confidence. Here's how to do it:  Ease your anxieties. Think about anything you may be worried about--your future, your family, or your career--and try to minimize your anxieties about all aspects of your life. A healthy amount of stress is normal, but if you're obsessing too much about what can go wrong, you won't be able to think in the moment, and the ladies will know you have too much on your mind. Address your flaws. Be aware of your shortcomings, and work to improve them. Are you a bad listener, disorganized, or too easily distracted? Make a plan to work on improving these characteristics little by little. Nobody's perfect, but everyone can improve. Think positive. When you walk into a room, think of the three things you like most about yourself instead of the three things you want to work on. If you think positive about yourself, the ladies will follow. A true player should value quantity over quality, so if you're committed to this lifestyle, you need to enjoy the company of as many women as possible, and not get hung up on one girl. If you're worrying about when what a certain girl thinks of you, or when she'll call, then you're approaching girlfriend territory with her, and you should put your guard up. Here's how to keep things open:  If you feel that a girl is getting too close to you, pull away. If a girl is initiating deep conversations about your personal lives, wanting to move in with you, or plan a romantic vacation, then she definitely wants to be your girlfriend, and you should move on. Keep things light. Enjoy a woman's company, but don't let her make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Focus on having a good time both out in the world and in the bedroom, and change the topic when things get too deep. Don't think mushy thoughts. When you see a potential conquest, you should be thinking about how much fun you'll having dancing, making out, or hooking up--not what your grandkids would look like. Think cool, and the rest will follow. If you've really found the right girl, it may be time to rethink your lifestyle. Even a true player can fall a victim to love, and if you've found a girl who makes you feel like she really is the only girl in the world and the person you want to spend all of your time with, then don't give her up. This is rare in the life of the true player, but if you really can't control how you feel, it may be worth it to tell the other ladies you're off the market. Like a true chess champ, you should always be at least one step--or many--ahead of the game. If you only focus on the present, you won't have a revolving door of women in your life. Here's how to do it:  Have a game plan for your night. If you're out at a club, think of your next location. Will you be taking the lady to more intimate bar, to your crib, or to a friend's fancy after party? Before you pick the girl, plan your moves for the night, so you don't waste your time figuring out what to do. Have a plan for your weekends. You may have just finished saying goodbye to your latest girl, but what are you doing the next night? Unless you want to spend it sitting alone in your basement and checking your phone, you should already have a lady lined up.

Be confident. Don't get attached. Always think of your next move.

Problem: Article: If you want to freeze just the leaves, you will need to pinch them off, and discard the stems. You can also freeze the cilantro whole, and break off a few leaves whenever you need them. This will protect the delicate herb from the cold and keep it from going mushy. Simply place the herb into a bowl and toss it with a teaspoon to a tablespoon of olive oil. How much olive oil you use will depend on how much cilantro you are freezing; the more cilantro you have, the more oil you will need. Try to keep the cilantro spread out evenly in the bag. If you are using whole cilantro, try to keep the stems and leaves as straight as possible. You may need to use more than one bag. If you do not have any freezer bags, use regular re-sealable bags instead, one inside the other. Zip the bag close part way, then gently press down on the bag with your hands until it is flat. Close the bag the rest of the way. Be careful not to crush the cilantro. If you are storing other types of herbs in the freezer, it might be a good idea to write down "Cilantro" on the bag as well. Try to place it so that the herbs are laying down flat and straight.
Summary: Decide if you want to freeze the cilantro whole, or just freeze the leaves. Consider tossing the cilantro with some olive oil. Place the cilantro into a re-sealable freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Use a permanent marker to write the date on the bag. Place the bagged cilantro into the freezer.

Your parents will be able to forgive you more easily if they feel heard and understood. Shutting up and listening can stop arguments and reduce emotional intensity.  Staring blankly at your parents as they speak will likely upset them. You should nod and display appropriate expressions, so they know you are listening, and not tuning them out. Ask questions to clarify and check your understanding. This will demonstrate that you are processing what they are telling you. For example, you could say something like, "I'm hearing you say that you're angry that I stayed out past curfew without clearing it with you. Is that right?" When it is time for you to talk, use the whole message formula to avoid misunderstandings. Start your statement with an observation of facts. This is usually a description of a behavior. Then explain what you interpret that behavior to mean and how that makes you feel. You should finish with what you would like to happen to focus the discussion on resolution. For example, "I ditched school to hang out with friends. I knew it was wrong, but I was thought it would make me seem cool. I was afraid I would be teased and embarrassed if I didn't go with everyone else. I would like some help coming up with good ways to resist peer pressure to better handle this kind of situation in the future." Your feelings about what your parents or the situation may affect your communication. The same sentence said in different tones can mean wildly different things. Feelings of frustration may result in a sarcastic tone or shouting before you even realize it. Try to remain objective and focus on communicating your message rather than your emotion. If your parents do comment about your tone, apologize and explain your experiencing frustration trying to clearly communicate your message.
