One advantage of flirting online is that the other person won't necessarily know that you're nervous. So take advantage of that and be as casual as you can. Here are some casual openers you can start with:  "Hey, how's it going?" "Hey, do you happen to know the homework from History class?" "Hi, did you hear that [your mutual friend] is having a party one week from Friday?" You want your crush to feel good about themselves, right? One easy way to do that is to keep the conversation (mainly) focused on them. Be comfortable talking about yourself, but don't forget to ask them some basic, non-threatening questions that they can easily talk about:  "So I hear you're a finalist for the district science project? Congratulations! What's your project about?" "I'm new to this part of town. What do people around here usually do for fun?" "Have any plans for summer break? I think I just might die if I have to stay around the house the whole time." It wouldn't be flirting without a compliment or two. Complimenting tells your crush that you notice and value what they do. Try to stay as casual as possible when you compliment.  If you're a guy complimenting a girl, don't compliment the feminine areas. That means no mention of breasts, butt, or the like. Guys treat girls like sex objects all the time. Be a man and show her you value her personality first and foremost. Reinforce how they want to be viewed. There's a good chance that if you reinforce how they want to be viewed by other people, they'll act favorably to you. If they fancy themselves an athlete, compliment how sporty they are; if they fancy themselves an intellectual, compliment how smart they are. Don't compliment them too much. The more you compliment them, the less each one of your compliments means. Choose a couple compliments that can't be misinterpreted and leave it at that. Your crush will catch on. Here are some ideas that you can try or elaborate on when you compliment:  "It's so nice talking to you. Thanks for being so open and friendly!" "What does a gorgeous girl/handsome boy like you do for fun on a Friday night?" "So how is it that someone as smart and attractive as you doesn't have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" "I know this is a little unfair to the other boys/girls at school, but you really make it easy to go to class on Mondays." Cheesy pick-up lines are like pet rocks: they sound cool, but they're absolutely useless. On top of that, they're hard to respond to. It's way better to stay sincere if you can't think of something interesting to say. If you're on friendly terms with your crush, don't be afraid of teasing them a little as a way of flirting. Be careful that they know you're teasing, being ironic, or sarcastic — over the internet, it can be hard to tell whether or not someone's being serious.  Tease them gently about something they're good at/confident about. If your crush is a star athlete, and you say "So how many extra goals is your team going to have to score when they don't have you on the field?" it'll be perfectly clear that you're joking. Plus, there's almost no chance that they get offended because they know they're a good athlete. Tell inside jokes. Talk about things you both experienced together, and tell inside jokes from time to time. Inside jokes strengthen your camaraderie and help you connect over the small things in life. Don't be afraid to cut the conversation short if it's going really well. It's better than leaving the conversation when there's nothing to say or something wrong was said. Leave your crush wanting more rather than wanting less. At the end of your conversation, say something like "You're fun to talk to — text me later?" or "See you tomorrow at school?" to build on the progress you made.

Q: To slim your waist and show off your shoulders and hips, turn your body slightly when you take your photo. If you're standing, shift your weight onto one foot to give your torso a more angular posture. Use the arm that isn't taking the shot to frame your figure. Try putting a hand high on your waist to frame your torso, or crook your elbow and put a hand behind your head to show off your upper arm. Bend your knee or cross your legs for a more dynamic position. When taking a lying-down selfie, don't let your face get swallowed up by gravity. Use a pillow, or put a hand behind your head. Take the photo from slightly above your eye level, just as if you were standing. It can be tricky to fit a lot of your body into the frame without distorting your proportions. A mirror lets you take a picture without worrying about that. If you have two mirrors facing one another, you can even take a picture of your back and front at once.  Mirror shots look best if the light is next to the mirror, rather than behind you. Try putting a lamp next to your mirror, or keep a mirror by your window. Try shooting from right next to your face or closer to your chest. If you don't want the camera to show, hold it just past the mirror frame.
A: Swivel a bit to the side. Bend your arms and legs. Prop your head up if you're lying down. Pose in the mirror.

Article: Your air fryer requires a two to three minute preheating period. This allows the machine time to achieve the temperature necessary to begin cooking your bacon. For most models, simply set the air fryer to the desired temperature and wait  at least two minutes before adding your bacon to the air fryer’s cooking basket. Operate your air fryer only on level, heat-resistant surfaces. Further, ensure that there is at least a hand’s length worth of open space behind the air fryer’s exhaust. You’ll need to apply a thin coat of oil directly to the bacon you place in the air fryer’s cooking basket. The best way to do so is by using a spray bottle filled with your favored cooking oil. Spray the bottom of the cooking basket as well, to reduce sticking, and spray. For crispy bacon, spray on only a single thin layer of oil.  Opt for a hand-pumped plastic spray bottle and fill it with liquid oil, such as olive oil. While you can buy spray-able oil, the aerosol can break down some of the non-stick surfaces you use in your kitchen (including the one on your air fryer basket). Avoid overcrowding the air fryer’s cooking basket by limiting the amount you put in. Since basket sizes differ, there is no standard amount that is ideal.  The important thing is that air is allowed to circulate around the bacon and come into contact with almost all of the bacon’s surface.  As such, avoid piles of bacon that cause some pieces to be covered up. Proper air circulation shortens cooking time and ensures optimal cooking results, particularly in terms of crispiness. While the air fryer is cooking your bacon, pause it once to twice to remove the basket and shake it. This will adjust the bacon’s position in the basket, and help ensure that it is evenly cooked. To ensure that each piece if adequately adjusted during cooking, you can also use tongs to simply flip individual slices of bacon. Length of cook time and recommend cooking temperature will vary from model to model. As such, use the chart of other information source that came with your air fryer to determine the proper cook time and temperature. One of the benefits of an air fryer is that you can remove the cooking basket whenever you like to check on your food.

In spite of what was said about serving immediately, as noted by Julia Child and other chefs like Michael Romano, it is possible to make poached eggs in advance for the busy cook with a crowd to feed. Drop them into a pan of simmering, salted water for 20-30 seconds (and no more than one minute) and they're ready to serve immediately.
