Q: Many couples meet in college or graduate school. It's a place where people have things in common, spend time near one another, and get a sense of one another as workers and friends. If you've already gone to school, or are unable to return, try taking extension classes in subjects that interest you: cooking, foreign languages, dance, or business. Not only is school an excellent place to meet a potential mate, but getting an education can increase the longevity of your future relationship. Couples with college education have lower divorce rates than their less-educated peers. Your mental and physical health influence who is willing to date you, and for how long. Get regular exercise and a full night's sleep each night. Eat regular meals, healthy snacks, and avoid soda and refined sugar. Visit the doctor regularly. Take particular care of your mental health. If you are too shy, depressed, anxious, or insecure to date, visit a therapist. To attract a partner, look your best. Be clean. Shower often, but use shampoo no more than three times a week. Brush your teeth and floss after eating, so that your breath is fresh and your teeth look healthy.  Dress to suit yourself. Fashion choices are going to vary widely depending on your tastes, but in general, wear clothing that fits your body, is clean, and is not very worn out.  Wear the colors that flatter you, or wear black and neutrals if you can't figure out what your colors are. You won't find someone who loves you if you are unloving of yourself. Pursue the things you want in life: a job you like, friends who treat you well, hobbies you enjoy, and good communication with your family. Take care of your emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing. Treating yourself well demonstrates emotional stability, an extremely attractive characteristic. Friends are the mostly likely people to introduce you to your life partner. They are also the people who will help you through the rough cycles of dating, who will support you when you find someone you like, and who will be your companions when you are lonely. It's hard to date if you're isolated, and it's hard to come off as confident and attractive if you're lonely and desperate for companionship. Be good to the friends you have. You don't have to be a social butterfly. Keep the social commitments you make, reciprocate favors, and tell your friends what you appreciate about them.
A: Get an education. Take care of your health. Take care of your appearance. Love yourself. Nurture your friendships.

Q: . Fondant is a smooth, easily molded covering used to cover the whole cake or to make cake toppers. You can make it yourself or purchase ready-made fondant to save yourself the trouble.  Some brands of fondant tear more easily than others. Fondarific, Duff, and FondX are good beginner options.  Fondant dries quickly, so keep any portions you are not currently using wrapped in plastic or in the original container. Make this as smooth as possible to prevent wrinkling or tearing the fondant, which will go over the buttercream. See the icing section for tips.  Ganache can be used instead. It may be more difficult to smooth, but will provide a more stable base. Sprinkle cornstarch or spread shortening on a clean surface to prevent the fondant from sticking, then knead it for a couple minutes or until pliable. Knead by pushing with your flat palms and heel of the hand, to avoid trapping air bubbles in the fondant. Skip this step if you purchased ready-to-use rolled fondant. Use a rolling pin to roll the fondant out to a ¼ in (6 mm) thickness. Occasionally rotate the fondant by sliding your hand underneath it to the center, to make sure it hasn't stuck to the table. If you plan on covering a circular cake with fondant, you'll need a circle as wide as your cake's diameter plus twice the cake's height. Once the fondant is rolled out, roll it around the rolling pin, then unroll it again over the cake to drape it over. Use a flat tool – or your hands if necessary – to smooth the top surface and remove air bubbles. Next, smooth out a full circle around the top of the cake's sides, to make sure the fondant is firmly attached. Smooth the rest of the sides, gradually moving around the cake, until it is fully covered. Cut off the remaining fondant with a utility knife or pizza cutter. If you are covering a cake with an unusual shape, put the fondant in the same mold you used for the cake, let it harden slightly, then place it over the cake. Large cakes may need to be covered piece by piece, then repaired as described below. You can easily make two-dimensional fondant decorations by cutting shapes out with a utility knife or scissors. Use fondant in multiple colors to make faces, animals, or any shape you like. It can also be sliced into strips and arranged to form ribbons or a spiral flower. Three-dimensional shapes can be sculpted just like clay, although fondant is best suited for small cake toppers, since it dries quickly. Fondant can tear, crack, or bulge fairly easily, especially when used to cover an entire cake. Here are a few ways to repair these imperfections:  Put a small amount of new fondant into a bowl and mix in water ¼ tsp (1 mL) at a time until you get a toothpaste consistency. Spread this with a flat spatula over cracks or dents to make them smooth, then wait for them to dry. If the fondant cracks before you've started decorating, knead in some shortening or glycerin. Hairline cracks can sometimes be smoothed out with your fingertips, or disguised with a brush of shortening. A bulge is usually an air bubble. Try pricking it with a pin, then smoothing out the fondant.

Q: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown ground beef 10 minutes, breaking up beef as it crumbles, until it's completely cooked through. Drain fat then transfer browned ground beef, using a slotted spoon, to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about ½ inch-thick boat. If zucchini is too tough to scoop out, boil it for a few minutes or soak it in cold water for 10 minutes first. In the mixing bowl, combine zucchini pulp, bread crumbs, garlic, black olives, spaghetti sauce, and cheese in the bowl with the cooked ground beef until all are fully incorporated. Taste and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stuff each zucchini half with the stuffing mixture, packing it in pretty tightly. Cover baking dish with foil. 40-45 minutes. They should be knife-tender, but not so tender that they fall apart at the touch or are mushy. When they are done, remove from oven and remove foil. Season with a few grinds of black pepper if desired.  Place oven rack 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the broiler element, turn broiler on, and broil zucchini 5 minutes until the mozzarella is browned and bubbling. Remove zucchini from the oven and cool for at least 3-4 minutes. Enjoy this hearty dish on its own or with a side of rice or pasta.
A:
