Aim for short conversations at first, say 5 to 10 minutes. Don’t expect to talk to her too often in the beginning. Weekly conversations are perfectly okay. As time passes, gradually increase how long and how often you talk. There are no set rules in how and when to take these steps. Let the relationship develop naturally. When you're acting natural, it’s easier to keep the conversation flowing. Take deep breaths and speak at your normal pace. Speak loud enough for her to hear but not so loud that she’ll feel uncomfortable. Use relaxed, slightly animated, body language. In all likelihood, you’ll likely have to start the conversation. Ask her about her hobbies, favorite books, or sports. Just avoid making the conversation all about her, or she might feel overwhelmed. You could say:  “I really like that guitar pin on your backpack. Do you play?” From here, you could segue into favorite musicians or your shared appreciation of music in general. (After looking at the cover of the book she’s reading): “Oh, you have a copy of 1984. I feel like I’m the only one who’s never read it. I’d like to hear your opinion.” This way, the spotlight will be on the novel, as opposed to her. After you’ve broken the ice, she might become quiet. Don’t use this as an excuse to dominate the conversation. Create pauses where she can make a comment or just an affirmation like "Yeah," or “Okay.” Eventually she'll make lengthier contributions to the conversation. It’s up to you how personal you want the topic to be. She’ll make a comment about what you said or reply to a question you threw in. She might even say something about herself. Talk about something that happened in a class you’re both in. If you work at the same place, mention something that happened on the job. You could also bring up a new addition to the menu at a restaurant you both frequent. This will give her an opportunity to chime in. If you’ve been talking about that hot new TV show on Netflix, don’t try to prevent silence by switching to your desire to upgrade your phone. Gracefully end the conversation if you can't think of something. You could say something like, "Well, I have to get going, but let’s meet up for lunch!" This might help you get a better understanding of how she feels around you. Try to make short periods of eye contact with her when you stumble upon a common interest or even dislike. As you get to know each other better, try to hold her gaze longer. Don’t worry if she doesn’t want to keep eye contact at first. She might prefer to glance at you, rather than locking eyes for the entire conversation. If you're not seeking a romantic relationship, make that very clear in the beginning. You don’t want her to remember you as the phony jerk who only pretended to like her. Avoid flirtatious behavior, such as putting your arm around her. Be friendly, but also make it clear you're interested in other people. This way, she'll at least know that you're not romantically interested in her without hurting her feelings.
++++++++++
One-sentence summary -- Start small and gradually build up. Act natural. Pick a friendly icebreaker. Pause every so often. Share something about yourself. Find something both of you can relate to. Don’t jump to an unrelated topic. Pay attention to eye contact. Don’t lead her on.

Q: Many countries issue resident visas or permits to individuals who are willing to invest in the country's economy, and those resident visas can make you eligible for citizenship after a few years. This can be an expensive route as the minimum investment amounts range from several hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars. For example, the United States requires an investment of $1 million (or $500,000 if you are investing in a high unemployment or rural area), and in return you receive a conditional permanent resident permit. This path to citizenship can take a long time, so research the amount of time that it will take you to become a citizen before you decide to invest. For example, the United States and Belgium grant citizenship after five years of holding a resident permit of this type. However, Malta (whose minimum investment requirement is EUR 1 million) grants citizenship after only 1 year. Some states that grant investor visas also require that you remain a resident in that state before you can become a citizen. However, not all countries have residency requirements. For example, Cyprus does not have a residency requirement but the United States does. Not all countries permit dual citizenship. You may be required to renounce your prior citizenship in order to acquire citizenship by investment. If that is the case, you cannot become a dual citizen in this way.
A: Consider acquiring a second citizenship by investment. Find out how long it will take to become a citizen by investment. Check to see if there is a residency requirement. Check the citizenship laws of the country in which you are investing.

Article: Performing a System Restore is the easiest way to uninstall a DirectX update, since there is no official way to uninstall DirectX. You will need to have a restore point from before DirectX is installed, which is typically created during the installation process. Using System Restore will uninstall and revert ANY changes that were made since the restore point was created, so it should be used very soon after installing the DirectX update.  Windows 8 – Open the Start screen and type “recovery”. Select “Recovery” from the list of search results. This will open the Recovery window. From there, click the “Open System Restore” link. Windows 7 and Vista – Click Start and type “restore” into the Search box. Select “System Restore” from the top of the search results list. Windows XP – Click Start and then select All Programs → Accessories → System Tools. Click on System Restore. You will be presented with a list of available restore points. Compare dates to find one that was created before DirectX was updated. Click the “Scan for affected programs” to ensure that DirectX will be rolled back. Remember, anything that was installed or updated between the point and now will be removed. Any programs that were installed then but are gone now will be reinstalled. Once you’ve chosen your restore point, wait for the restore to be completed. The restore process can take a significant amount of time. The computer will restart during the restore process, and then Windows will load with a message confirming that the restore was successful. Once Windows starts again, open the Run window by pressing Windows key + R, type in “dxdiag”, and press Enter. This will open the DXDiag tool, which will check your system and report the version of DirectX that is installed.  The DirectX version will be listed at the bottom of the System Information section on the first tab. You must have some version of DirectX installed with Windows. Windows 7 and later cannot have anything less than DirectX 11 installed.
