INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The person to whom you intend to show affection must become your single point of attention.  You will be a great lover if they feel they are the only person in the world when they are with you.  That is the impression you are trying to make when you begin with focus. You must be upbeat when expressing your sentiments to them, whether about them personally, the situation, or the condition of the world at large. Be an uplifting presence that helps them see the better things around them, especially about themselves Make sure to listen and see how the other person is responding to your attention at every step--the object here is to find the correct tempo that the other person is capable of hearing, seeing and fully feeling your expressions of affection.  This is about them, not about you having a stage and acting out--you are always seeking to understand their experience of you so you can again make it even better. You must express optimistic sentiments with a passion that is infectious to them.  Bring them a wave of positive emotions to carry them towards pleasures in themselves and the world around them and they will be yours forever. Life is way too hard and complicated. We often get totally sucked in to our problems and forget to see all the wonderful things in the world. But that's what our partner is there for: to remind us of the good things by making us laugh and helping us find the humor in tough situations. Be that person for your lover. If you really love the one you're with, and you watch them closely enough, you'll come to realize that they have certain habits and ticks that you will come to adore. Most people only see these things after a long time in their relationships, but if you get a head start now, you will start acting more loving with your partner and feeling closer to him or her. One should learn to compromise. Being a lover means sharing. It's only fair that you do because love is about sharing, and growing. Treat others how you want to be treated.

SUMMARY: Focus on your partner. Have some optimism. Listen to them. Show your enthusiasm. Develop your humor. Notice the small things. Compromise sometimes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After you have successfully began making small talk with her, you can now have an actual conversation.  Ask her how her day is going to show that you are interested in her life.  Most people enjoy talking about themselves, so she will likely welcome the opportunity and be flattered that you asked. You can approach her and say something like “Hey, how’s your day going so far?” .  There is an old adage that says that “the way to a woman’s heart is to make her laugh”.  If you don’t know her, making her laugh might be difficult since you aren’t aware of her sense of humor.  However, you can work on picking out little funny things about your school that she is likely to find funny.. For instance, maybe your teacher does something that is funny to you like using the word “irregardless.”  You could say something humorous like “I think it’s so funny how we have an English teacher who uses words that aren’t words!” Take some time when you talk to her to find out more about her as a person.  If you don’t know her name, start there.  If you don’t know what year she is, ask her if she’s the same year as you.  She will gradually begin to open up and you can start asking more personal questions like “what do you like to do for fun?” or “what’s your favorite movie?” Talk about yourself some, as well, but don’t overdo it.  You don’t want to dominate the conversation.  You might say something like “I’m in the 7th grade, too” or “I got into college and I’m really excited about it.”  She will likely ask some questions about you, as well. Aim to talk slightly less than you listen.. After establishing some rapport with her, you can pay her a small compliment.  Don’t give compliments that are physical or that are overly detailed just yet.  She may be put off by that and uncomfortable talking to you thereafter. You might say something like “you’re really good at soccer” or “I saw you stick up for your friend to that bully.  You’re a really nice friend, it seems.” If you have spoken with her several times, then you might try asking her to sit with you. For example, you can invite her to sit with you at lunch so you can talk some more.  If she still wants to sit with her friends, don’t be pushy.  You can try asking her again at a later time once you have had more conversations. She may be intimidated to sit with you if you sit with a lot of your guy friends, so tell her that you two can sit alone if she likes. The conversations with her don’t have to stop after this first real interaction.  You can continue to speak to her after this, even when you are not at school.  Ask her for her phone number and see if she’s okay with you calling or texting her sometimes.  Ask her something like “I really have enjoyed talking to you.  Can I have your number so I can call or text you sometime?” She may prefer to give you her social media information.  You can talk to her that way, as well. Her parents may be strict and may not allow her to talk to boys.  If so, be respectful.  You can still talk to her at school.

SUMMARY: Ask her about her day. Make her laugh Find out more about her. Pay her a small compliment. Invite her to sit with you. Ask for her number.
