Act playfully when you’re around your crush, and joke with him. When you are interested in someone, you can feel awkward and uncertain, so be careful that you don’t start acting strangely around him.  Continue to be the same funny, good-humored girl that he has always known you to be, but be just a little more sexy and flirtatious. Increase physical contact with him, such as giving him longer hugs than usual, and touch his arm while you’re talking. Tilt your head flirtatiously when you talk to him, and play with your hair. If you get invited to a party or dance, ask him to join you as your date. Take care to make it clear that you’re not asking him to accompany you as a favor from a friend. Do your best to look amazing, like he’s never seen you dress before. He’s more likely to see you in a different light if you make a drastic change to your appearance for this one special occasion. Make eye contact with him while he’s talking and listen attentively. A directed gaze such as this communicates to the other person that you find them interesting and appealing. Laugh, smile often, and sit close to him when you’re together. Use his whole face as a focal point while you are listening to him, and if you feel like you are staring, look away for a moment as if in deep thought, or move your gaze to another part of his face. Set aside a time to talk to him, in a place where you are both comfortable. It will be scary telling him how you feel, since you are putting yourself out there without being sure of his feelings for you. That being said, do your best to take the drama out of it, or you will only make him uncomfortable, especially if he has no idea what’s coming.  Make sure that you tell him how you feel at an appropriate time, when neither of you is stressed out or in a hurry. Share a story with him, either about yourself or a favorite memory of the two of you. Sharing a memory with him will naturally help you open up to him, and will give him a sense of belonging with you. Keep it short and sweet. You can say “Hey, I like hanging out with you” or “you mean a lot to me. Do you want to take our friendship to the next level?” If he says no, remember to accept and understand his response, whatever it may be. Your ability to understand and respect each other is most likely one of the reasons why you both became friends in the first place. Also, give yourself some credit, because telling your best friend you have feelings for him is a brave thing to do!  If he says no, but you both still want to remain friends, give yourself and him a few days to get past any lingering awkwardness. Even if his response is what you were hoping for, your interactions with each other are likely to be awkward for a little while as each of you figures out how to act as you move from friends into a relationship.

Q: One of the most revered properties of gold is that it does not tarnish. On the other hand, brass reacts with oxygen in the environment. This reaction is called oxidation and it will cause the brass to look tarnished and discolored. If there are any oxidized areas, the piece is brass. However, the absence of oxidation cannot confirm that the piece is gold. When testing the chemical properties of a piece of metal, you should do so in an area that is not typically visible. This will ensure that the piece isn't ruined by doing the test. Look for a lip or rim with an underside, or a piece of the metal that is otherwise covered or concealed. Apply concentrated acid to the metal. Brass will react with acids and gold will not. If you see bubbling or discoloration where the acid is applied, your piece is brass. If there is no change after applying the acid, you have gold.
A: Scan for any tarnished areas. Test an inconspicuous section. Apply acid to the metal.
