INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use these phrases to explain why you're approaching the person in need of sympathy, if you heard about the problem from someone else. If s/he started the conversation, respond by acknowledging the other person's feelings.  "I'm sorry to hear that." "I heard you were going through tough times." "That sounds painful." Some people respond to stress or grief by becoming busier. They may not take the time off to think about their emotional state. Make eye contact and use a phrase that makes it clear you're asking about his/her feelings, not day-to-day life:  "How are you feeling?" "How are you coping with everything?" Make it clear that you are on his/her side. Mention friends and family that may also be able to support him/her, reminding him/her that s/he has other people to turn to:  "You are in my thoughts." "I am here when you need me." "I'll be in touch later this week about helping out with _____." Avoid the very common "Let me know if there's anything I can do." This actually makes the person have to think of something for you, which they may not feel capable of doing at this time. Some people have trouble expressing emotions, or feel that they are experiencing the "wrong" emotions. Use these phrases to let them know it's okay:  "It's okay to cry if you need to." "I accept whatever you need to do right now." "It's normal to feel guilty." (or anger, or whichever emotion the other person just expressed)

SUMMARY: Acknowledge the event or problem. Ask the person how they're coping. Express support. Let the person know that emotions are appropriate.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take your Weimaraner out to a variety of people and places, including parks, city streets, and natural places from the time it is 7 weeks old. Make sure that the dog is meeting new people daily, if possible, so it understands that having short, neutral interactions with strangers is a normal part of daily life.  In order for your Weimaraner to develop a good personality and disposition with strangers, it needs to be exposed to a wide variety of people and places from a young age. However, you do need to be cautious about what dogs you expose your puppy to before it has completed its immunizations, usually at around 12 weeks old. It should not be around dogs you don't know and areas where dogs congregate for fear of it getting a communicable disease, such as parvovirus. The earlier you start training, the better. A Weimaraner can start basic training sessions when it is as young as 5 weeks old, although most dogs don't start training in earnest until they are a couple months old. These sessions should be short and basic, but they will create a foundation for later training. Early training sessions should only be a few minutes long, as a puppy can't focus on any one thing for very long. Take your Weimaraner for a short walk or run before each training session. You don't want the dog to be exhausted but it should have at least a half hour of activity before you do a session. Otherwise, it may have a hard time concentrating on the training session. Weimaraners are active and energetic dogs that tend to have a lot of energy. If you want your Weimaraner to focus on your commands, you should have it expel a bit of that energy before training.

SUMMARY: Socialize your Weimaraner. Start training early in your dog's life. Exercise your dog before training sessions.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whenever you get a piercing, it is important to let a licensed professional piercer do it. They are trained in proper techniques, safety, and sanitation to ensure that your new piercing is placed properly and heals well. If you are trying to keep your new piercing a secret, you need to be mindful about when you get it done. There will be a healing timeframe during which your tongue may swell significantly which can noticeably alter how you sound when you talk. Try to plan your piercing during a time when you can avoid people for at least a few days to give yourself time to heal. Make sure you follow all instructions given to you by the piercer for care of your new piercing. Failure to do so could result in infection or a prolonged healing time, which would make your situation and your pierced tongue more noticeable to those around you.

SUMMARY: Get your tongue pierced by a professional. Schedule your piercing appointment appropriately. Care for your piercing properly.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The longer your interactions with a guy are kept casual, the more likely his feelings are to be caught up by someone else. When you meet a guy, there is a charged momentum, and catching the wave can mean everything when it comes to stealing his heart away. Keep in mind there is a difference between openly admitting "I love you" and simply making your attraction apparent. Flirting can say every bit as much, especially if it's mutual and the right chemistry is there. Once you've introduced yourself to a guy, you should already have a decent idea whether there is something there worth exploring in greater length. The question, then, is to figure out whether he feels the same way already. Common signs can include whether he's introducing you to his friends or opening up about more personal topics. If he's not doing this yet at this point, it doesn't mean he's not interested, nor does it even mean you don't have his heart already. Certain guys express affection differently than others. If mutual attraction is already there, openly discussing personal things, whether they are painful experiences or insecurities, makes the connection feel more important and real. Being personal and candid about your feelings shows a longer-lasting commitment between the two of you, but it's only truly meaningful if the exchange goes both ways. If the guy you're interested in doesn't have an easy time talking about his feelings, it's best not to press it. You should let him know you are there for him whenever he feels the need to talk about things like that.  State your intentions about wanting to grow closer if your partner is confused as to why you're approaching him with touchy subjects.  It is more important for you to understand rather than be understood. Especially at first, guys tend to be more closeted about their feelings. In time, he'll find it easier to open up to you. When you're making an earnest attempt at winning over a guy's heart, it pays off to understand that men interpret and demonstrate feelings in a much different way than women. If you're getting frustrated the guy isn't showing enough feeling, it may be because he's been more conditioned to hide the way he feels than you have. Whatever the case may be, it is important to be patient in navigating the differences between male and female psychologies. Chances are high he is feeling just as confused about the way you act.

SUMMARY:
Let a guy know you're interested early on. Look for signs that he wants to get serious with you. Open up about personal matters. Acknowledge the differences in male psychology.
