INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't waste much time beating around the bush. Be simple and direct. Tell your friend how she makes you feel. This will be different for everyone, so try to follow your heart. A few things you may want to mention are suggested below, but feel free to phrase things differently if you think it will be more genuine.  Tell her that, lately, you've been thinking of her as more than a friend and that you wanted to know how she felt. Tell her that you've been struggling your feelings for some time and that you're just relieved to finally open up about it. Tell her that, no matter how she feels, you value her and you want to have a positive relationship with her. This is crucial — you don't want her to feel like you're only interested in knowing her if she wants to be romantic with you This conversation is likely to be a little awkward no matter which way it goes. However, you can make things much less awkward for both of you if you give your friend a reasonable way to say "no" without embarrassing herself. This isn't as hard as it sounds — basically, just mention that it's OK if she doesn't want to get together right now. A few things you may want to mention are listed below:  Tell her that you completely understand if she can't be in a relationship right now. Tell her that you don't know whether she has anything going on in her life that might keep you two from dating. Stress that you won't be upset if she doesn't feel the same way as you. Big, dramatic displays of emotion might seem like a good idea, but they can make this conversation a lot more stressful and tense than it needs to be. Try to talk in a calm voice and to use a friendly, lighthearted tone. You can even use a little humor to ease the tension by joking about how antsy you've been to talk about this — a well-placed laugh can make things much easier.  Note: You will probably want to avoid actually using the word "love." For many people, this word can have a huge weight that may make the prospect of being with you a little scary. Most relationship experts recommend against using "the L word" until after you're dating. The decision you're asking your friend to make is an important one. Don't force her into a position where she has to give you an answer right away or she may not be able to give the best, most honest answer possible. If she seems on the fence, tell her that it's alright if she needs some time to think. Tell her that you're willing to give her space while she's making up her mind. Ask for your friend's input throughout the conversation — be sure to allow her to express her self and not to dominate the conversation. When she comes to a decision (whether that's right away or days later), listen to what she says. It's OK to ask questions about the way she feels, but don't question the decision itself. This is her decision to make and yours to accept (not the other way around). If she doesn't feel the same way about you that you feel about her, don't try to change her mind. This is an easy way to come across as desperate. If you really love her, you should want her to be happy, even if you don't agree with her reasoning. If your best friend reacts positively, congratulations! Celebrate your success by planning a date with your new sweetheart. If, on the other hand, your friend doesn't like the idea of romance, you should be prepared to "step back" from your relationship — at least for a while. There may be difficult feelings on both side even if your best friend lets you down gently and gracefully.  Luckily, as the old saying goes, "time heals all wounds." Spending a few weeks or a month away from someone who's rejected you can be a very good thing. It can allow you to heal, accept the fact that you won't be getting together, and move on to new romantic prospects. When you do meet up with your best friend again, take things slow. You may not go back to the same level of intimacy you had before right away. Be willing to gradually work your way back into a close platonic relationship. It may not be exactly the same as the relationship you used to have, but it's unlikely to be worse.

SUMMARY: Be honest. Give her a convenient way out if she doesn't want to be with you. Try to keep the conversation low-key. Don't press your friend for a decision. Listen and accept whatever outcome you get. Be ready to give your friend a little space.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Successful relationships should have multiple common interests between partners.  You may not have everything in common, but it’s difficult to grow a relationship when interests are dissimilar.  If you can't find many common interests, you may be more eager to be in a relationship than you are excited about the new partner.  If the relationship itself is the connection, that's a rebound sign. If one of your common interest check-marks isn't attraction, be cautious.  Rebound relationships often stem from a fear of being alone, rather than actual attraction.  If you’re not really into the other person, the relationship may just be a comforting technique. Casual relationships are missing the true connection and depth of a meaningful relationship.  If you feel like you are genuinely using the new partner instead of actually forming a relationship, it’s very probable you don’t want to risk new heartbreak, and the relationship is casual. Oftentimes, a rebound relationship is used as a bridge to get over emotional issues, and to make it from one serious relationship to another. If you and your partner are in a routine like a couple that has been together for years, you may be attempting to replace the normalcy of your previous relationship.  You want to do some of the common things you and your previous partner did instead of the normal dating process.  A few potential activities of established relationships are as follows:  Binge-watching a series on Netflix Talking about the ideal home together Discussing future, mutual finances
Summary: Make a list of common interests. Determine if you’re keeping it casual. Don't act like a comfortable old couple.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your pain worsens or doesn’t start to improve after a few days, have your doctor perform a physical exam. They might order an MRI or ultrasound to diagnose tendonitis or to see if your condition has worsened. Tell your doctor when the pain started, how much pain you’re in, what activities you’ve been doing, and what medications you’ve taken. The physical therapist will passively stretch you, or manually move your arm, to help restore your mobility. They’ll then guide you through active stretches and exercises to strengthen your tendons. The physical therapist will let you know which stretches will help the specific part of your shoulder that’s affected. They’ll also show you how to properly stretch and exercise at home. If over-the-counter pain relievers haven’t been effective, your doctor might administer a cortisone shot to control pain and swelling. They’ll numb the area before the injection, so you won’t feel anything. After receiving the injection, you’ll need to avoid vigorous activity for 2 weeks.  Ask your doctor if you need to stop taking medications, such as blood thinners, or make any dietary changes before you receive a cortisone injection. Many primary care physicians do cortisone injections in their offices, while others may refer you to a sports medicine or orthopedic surgeon for this. If your tendonitis is severe or has progressed to a full tear, you might need surgery to repair the joint or remove damaged tissue. Most people go home around 4 hours after surgery, and recovery usually takes 1 to 6 months. You’ll most likely need to wear a sling for at least a week after surgery. Seeing a physical therapist for a few months after surgery will help you regain mobility and strength. You might not regain full strength after tendonitis surgery, but it should relieve your pain.

SUMMARY:
See your doctor if your pain persists or worsens. Get a referral to a physical therapist. Ask your doctor about a cortisone injection. Discuss surgical repair, if necessary.
