If this girl isn't someone you're already on friendly terms with, start with "hi" and take it from there. Don't overthink this, just start a conversation. Then as you see her around school, talk to her and start to get to know her. Ask her if she'd like to join you during lunchtime. Tell her you're going to see a movie with some friends and ask if she'd like to go. Something like this will also give you an excuse to get her number. When you talk to the girl you're trying to impress, be interested in getting to know her more deeply. Ask her questions that show this interest. It's hard not to take notice of someone who seems genuinely interested in your life and what you have to say. Ask her about her family, her interests, what she wants in the future, anything like that, and then let her steer the conversation. Just be careful not to turn the conversation into an interview. You shouldn't be asking questions constantly, like this is some kind of interrogation. Let the questions be open-ended, and insert comments about how you can relate to what she's saying as the conversation continues. Girls want guys who can make them laugh. If you want to stand out to a particular girl, making her laugh should be one of your main tools. In group settings this means taking risks by making funny comments when they come to you, and teasing your friends and the girl you like in a playful way. When alone with her, you can flex your funny bone by making funny observations about something around you, and telling humorous stories about your life. Don't try to impress her by pretending to be someone else. She can sense it. Openness and sincerity can be very impressive. When you're alone with the girl you like, try to steer the conversation in a more personal direction sometimes. Talk about things dear and important to you. Just make sure you don't do too much of the talking. There's no better way to get someone's romantic attention than to flirt. Good flirting skills are impressive because so few people, especially school aged, have them. Look her in the eyes when talking to her. Send deep gazes her way every once and a while. Compliment her when you have the opportunity. Other examples of flirting include: finding reasons to innocently touch her, like hugging goodbye, and teasing her in a friendly way.

Summary: Start establishing a friendship. Ask her about herself. Use humor. Be real and honest in front of her. Flirt to impress.


If your toe is fractured, it's going to hurt when you put your weight on it, or when pressed on. You will probably still be able to walk, but moving around might make the pain worse. The presence of pain does not necessarily mean that the toe is broken, but persistent pain can be an indication of a fracture or break.  If putting weight on your toe is excruciatingly painful, you might have a bad break.  In this case, you should see a doctor right away. Minor fractures aren't as painful, and may not need medical treatment. Tingling in addition to pain could indicate a fracture. See a doctor right away.

Summary: Assess your pain level.


One way to keep your bladder healthy is to make sure you drink the proper liquids in the right amounts. You need to stay hydrated and keep drinking enough water to reduce the chances of a bladder infection or a urinary tract infection. You can also drink cranberry juice to reduce the risk of UTIs.  The usual recommendation is to drink at least six to eight eight ounce glasses of water every day. Some beverages which contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea and chocolate drinks, can increase the frequency and the urgency of urination. Other beverages, like alcohol drinks, carbonated drinks, and acidic fruit juices (orange and grapefruit juice, lemonade and limeade), can also increase the frequency and the urgency of urination. Making sure you urinate when you need to and making sure you empty your bladder every time you use the bathroom can help you reduce chances of a UTI. This is most easily done by making sure that you go when you need to go and relax as much as possible, taking as much time as you need to empty out your bladder completely. Urinating often and emptying your bladder helps flush out bacteria. Urinating before sex can help flush out bacteria that might get spread during sex, and urinating after sex can help flush out bacteria that was introduced during sex.  Make sure to use water-based lubricant during sex. You can also clean your genital and anal areas before and after sex. After going to the bathroom, especially after having a bowel movement, women need to wipe from the front to the back. This helps prevent bacteria from the feces from spreading to the urethra. Using some feminine hygiene products, such as douches or feminine deodorants, may cause UTIs. They can irritate the urethra as well as remove natural flora that helps maintain the healthy environment, leading to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.  Douching can also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, complications during pregnancy, STIs, and vaginal dryness. If you feel there is something "off" about the smell of your vagina or there is unusual discharge, this means there is something wrong and you should be checked by your doctor. Douching will not solve the problem and, if anything, could make it worse. When using tampons or pads, you should change them often.

Summary: Watch your fluid intake. Empty your bladder as much as possible. Urinate before and after sex. Wipe correctly. Take care with feminine hygiene products.


Keep your arms straight and your palms face-up by your hips. Hold a barbell or dumbbells and slowly bend your elbow to start your curl. Bring the weight up to your shoulders and hold it for a count. Lower the weight back down until your arms are straight again to complete your rep. Practice doing around 10 reps for 2–3 sets. Choose a weight you’re comfortable with and doesn’t cause a lot of strain. As lifting that weight gets easier, you can use something heavier. Avoid swinging the weights up or down since you won’t work your biceps properly and you could injure yourself. As soon as you can finish your sets using 25 lb (11 kg) weights, attempt doing a pull-up. Stand in front of a workout bench with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Bend at the knees so you’re leaning over the bench and support your weight with one of your arms. Hold a dumbbell in your other hand and let your arm hang straight down. Slowly lift the weight up to your chest. Hold it there for a count before lowering it back to the starting position. Try doing about 3 sets that are 8–12 reps each.  Dumbbell rows help work out your back muscles and shoulders. Once you can comfortably row with 25 lb (11 kg) dumbbells, start trying to do pull-ups. Keep the rest of your body still while doing dumbbell rows, or you may work the wrong muscles. Lat pull-down machines simulate the motion you’ll use during a pull-up but you can choose the weight you're lifting. Slide the pin into a comfortable weight and reach up to grab the bar. Pull the bar on the machine down so it’s below your chin and hold it for 1 count. Raise the bar back up slowly to the starting position. Try doing 8–12 lat pull-downs per set for 1–2 sets.Increase the weight as you get more comfortable on the machine. Try to work all the way up to your bodyweight so you’re prepared to do your first pull-up.
Summary: Practice dumbbell curls to work your upper arms. Work out your back and arms with dumbbell rows. Use a lat pull-down machine to strengthen your back.
