INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you had a good time going out with him, and you think he did too, reach out and schedule another one. Remember to give him some time to breathe, but don’t be afraid of showing your interest either! Some people like waiting three days after a date, while other people like waiting one day. Decide what’s right for you, and don’t feel pressured to do something just because everyone else does. Since you two can’t hang out during school, schedule time to see each other after school. Take this time to do homework together and just casually talk and get to know each other. Pick a place that you can both easily get to and schedule meeting times that work for both of you. One easy way to see each other is to find a cafe or other location halfway between your schools, and walk to meet each other. If at any point you don’t feel comfortable, or feel you’re moving too fast, tell him. Ask if you can slow down, or explain your needs to him. Similarly, if he tells you he wants to take it slower, listen to him. The most important thing in a relationship is how you communicate, so start practicing early. Though it’s not a hard and fast rule by any means, your friends have a great sense of who will be good for you and who might not be the right fit. Introduce him to your friends and ask them what they think. If they get a weird vibe, chances are he’s not the one for you.  See if he can come by after school one day, and ask your friends to stay behind, or organize a place where you all can meet. During the summer, plan a hike or another active activity that has everyone moving and talking together. Getting to know his friends tells you a lot about what he’s like when he’s not around you. If his friends make you comfortable and accept you, that’s a great sign! If they’re mean to you, or don’t include you in conversation, talk to him about it and ask if he can help.  Give it time, and try to be open with them, even if they aren’t open with you. If it’s still not working, or his friends make you uncomfortable, back away and find someone else. This is a great chance to set one of your single friends up with one of his friends! If you have an interested friend, go for it. A relationship should never be rushed. Take your time to get to know him, and have fun! You’ve done the hard part of meeting your guy, now all you have to do is go with the flow, act natural, and develop your relationship.

SUMMARY: Schedule more dates. Schedule time together after school. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. Introduce him to your friends before things get too far. Meet his friends. Take your time getting to know each other.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most important step in sobering up after drinking is to stop drinking. The moment you feel like you've had enough, or too much, stop drinking anything with alcohol in it. This will allow your body to process what you've already consumed and start the process of sobering up.  Don't try to taper off your drinking or switch to less alcoholic drinks. Stop entirely if you are too drunk. Don't let anyone pressure you into drinking more than you are comfortable with. If you feel like you need to vomit, don't fight the urge. Throwing up is your body's natural response to alcohol poisoning. Vomiting can also help remove whatever alcohol is left unprocessed in your stomach and can help you to recover more quickly. If you feel the urge to vomit, allow yourself to do so. If you are able to do so, eating something after heavy drinking can help you to sober up. Eating while drinking is always a good idea and can help your body process the alcohol at a slower pace. Having a meal or something to eat will help keep your head a bit more clear than if you had gone without eating.  It's unclear which foods are best. Try eating whatever you are in the mood for. Eating anything at all will help you to sober up faster. Drinking water after drinking alcohol can help lessen the inebriating effects of alcohol and help you to sober up. Drinking more water will have an effect on how much alcohol is present in your bloodstream and may help you to process alcohol faster by increasing the amount you urinate. Never neglect drinking water when you are trying to sober up.  It's a good idea to try and drink a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you consume. Alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body. Drinking water will help you stay hydrated. Moving can help give you something to focus on and help you process the alcohol slightly faster than normal. By getting in some physical activity, you will increase the amount you are perspiring, which can remove some alcohol from your system. Try to do some simple exercise or activity that keeps you moving in order to stay focused and sober up.  You might try dancing to help you sober up. Going for a brisk walk can help you stay focused while you sober up. There isn't a surefire way to sober up faster than your body is able to process the alcohol you've consumed. The only proven way to sober up is to wait for your body to fully remove the alcohol from your bloodstream. Although you can take steps to help the process, you will still need to wait around one hour for every drink you've had before you reach sobriety again.  Don't attempt to drive before you are fully sober again. Each drink takes about one hour to be processed.

SUMMARY: Stop drinking. Don't avoid vomiting. Eat something. Drink water. Start moving. Wait.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sugar cookie cutout dough works best for cookies on a stick because it is stiff enough to hold and the favor is mild, so you can decorate it with just about any kind of frosting or candies that you want. You can make a basic sugar cookie cutout dough from scratch, buy a sugar cookie cutout dough mix, or buy some premade sugar cookie cutout dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.  Prepare the dough according to the recipe or package instructions before you get started. It is best to use cold dough because it will hold its shape better when you cut it out. Make sure that you refrigerate your dough for at least an hour before you use it. You will probably need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  This is a common temperature for many cookie recipes. However, it is important to check the cookie recipe or cookie dough package before you set the temperature on your oven. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease it with non-stick cooking spray. This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking to the tray. Arrange the cookies so that they are about an inch or two apart. Follow your recipe’s instructions for baking the cookies. A common baking time for cookies is about 10 minutes. However, your recipe may call for a longer baking time. Check the recipe or cookie dough package to be sure.  Set a time so that you will know when to take the cookies out of the oven. Don’t forget to use oven mitts when you place the cookies in the oven and when you remove the tray from the oven.

SUMMARY:
Mix the cookie dough. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet. Bake the cookies.
