The easiest way to avoid an unwanted marriage proposal is to let your partner know where you stand in the relationship. Because people change over the course of relationships, it is important to have open and honest conversations with your partner regularly. If your feelings have changed or you find that you are not ready to get married, let them know how you feel. It is important that you talk with your partner about any misgivings that you may have about marrying them. If your attitudes have changed, you might say something like “I know that we said that we would get married someday, but I’m not sure I want that anymore.” If you are in a relationship with someone, letting them know how you feel may not be enough to deflect a proposal. You should also be asking your partner how they feel about marriage. You may find that they are more serious than you are, which is something that you should address. You should ask things like “where do you see this going?” or “do you want to get married someday?” If you and your partner are at odds about the direction your relationship is going, you may want to get some relationship counseling. A therapist who specializes in helping couples fix their relationships may be able to help you better understand your partner’s desire to get married and, conversely, your aversion to it. This may help you mend your differences and jump-start communication between you and your partner. If you have been unclear about where you stand in the relationship, your partner might give you an ultimatum. They may say that the two of you should get married or break up. If they give you an ultimatum you should decline and talk with them about why they offered it. You should avoid being coerced into any relationship, particularly marriage. Ideally, if you are honest and communicate your intentions with your partner, you should not have to face an ultimatum. If you and your partner are unable to resolve your differing opinions about marriage, the best solution may be to end the relationship. This may be difficult but moving on is likely the best option. Again, be sure that you are honest with your partner about why you are leaving the relationship.  It is unfair to your partner to continue in a relationship if you do not want to commit to them. Be sure you want to end the relationship. It is important that you are confident that leaving your partner is the best option for you.

Q: Since a peck is quick and light, you don’t want rough, chapped lips. Lick your lips lightly, but make sure they are dry before the kiss. If you need to, dab a little bit of chapstick on the top lip and rub it onto the bottom lip. It’s important that your lips are soft rather than rough, but also only damp and not sloppy-wet. As you go in for the kiss, press your lips together like you’re holding your breath. You don’t want an open mouth, and you definitely don’t want your tongue out at all. Don’t press them tightly like your lips are sealed, but just enough that they touch. This is called puckering, or pursing, your lips. Imagine if you ate something slightly sour. Don’t push them out so far that your top lip touches your nose. Push them out only so much that the inner part of your lips is visible. Whether it’s a kiss on the mouth, the cheek, or the forehead, a peck is always quick and light. You want to press your lips so that he feels it, but not so your lips feel smashed against him. The ideal peck will leave hardly any dampness on his skin. A peck is the quickest of all kisses, so don’t let it linger. Make the kiss last long enough that your lips touch him, but pull away right after that. Practice the kiss so you get a feel for how long it should be. Remember, touch your lips to skin, and then pull away.
A: Wet your lips just enough to soften them. Close your lips. Push your lips out a little. Press your lips lightly against his skin. Pull away in less than one second.

Article: Hold the fishing rod with your casting hand at the base of the reel. Leave about 12 inches (approximately 30 cm) of line hanging between your bait hook and the tip of the rod. Grab the line with your index finger and keep it taut. Make sure that there is nothing behind you for the line to catch onto (e.g., a tree or other person). Aim the line at the line towards the spot in the water you want it to land in, then pull it backwards. Cast it out and release your index finger from the line. After casting your rod, wait several seconds for the jig hook to reach the bottom. If the bait is heavy enough you may feel the spoon hit the bottom. Note that lightweight jig hooks will take longer to sink. Make boisterous vertical motions with your rod by flicking your wrist and popping your fishing rod tip up a short distance. Allow the jig hook to sink back to the bottom. Repeat this process to get the attention of larger fish looking for food. Vary your movements by jigging the rod up and down and side-to-side. Cast your line out into the water. Hold your fishing rod at a 60 degree angle and slowly reel the line in. This motion will cause the jig to flow through the water smoothly, appearing to swim.

Set up your fishing rod. Cast out your line. Wait for your jig hook to hit the bottom of the body of water. Snap and pop the line. Use the “swimming” technique.

Article: Before you start digging, make a decision about the size and shape you want the garden to be. If it will be three or more rows, make sure you account for extra space to walk between the rows. For only two rows, you can tend the garden from the outside of each row. Stick four stakes into the ground to form the rectangle of the garden plot. You need to use a shovel to slice up under any grass, moss, or weeds that are currently growing where you have planned your garden. Make sure to dig deep enough to get weeds out at their root. You may want to go about four inches deep for this step.  All of this can go to the compost pile for later use, but shouldn't be incorporated back into the soil until it has composted.You may also want a bin ready just for composting this layer outside of other composts you might have. If you have a tiller, you don't have to dig up the existing plants; instead, till in whatever is currently growing. After you till, you should be able to remove the plants, roots and all, from the broken up soil. This is better for the soil because the remaining dead plants and roots will break down and contribute organic matter to your soil. For new plots, you’ll want to turn the soil over about 12-18 inches deep. You may want to dig that deep into the soil with a shovel, and then go over the plot a second time with a tiller to break the soil up.  As you dig through the soil, remove any large stones, along with any roots or debris (eg, bits of metal, plastic etc) you encounter. You may need to make more than one pass to break up very compacted soils. This may be the most time consuming part of the project, especially if you end up finding a lot of rocks or other debris. It’s good to have a garbage can nearby in which you can throw anything you find in the soil.
