Texting your crush first is definitely nerve-wracking, but sometimes it’s way better than waiting for them to make the first move. They’ll be thankful that you took the pressure off of them, and you’ll get to choose the conversation topic.  Once you decide to text them, take a few minutes to gather your courage and decide what you want to say. Take a few deep breaths and remember that everything is going to be OK. Remember that you have a big advantage: since you’re talking over text, your crush won’t be able to tell that you’re nervous! It’s great to start a texting conversation with a question about something you have in common with your crush, like a class, an event, or someone you both know. This conversation starter feels easy and natural, and makes it simple to move into other topics right after.  For example, you could say something like, “Hey, are you going to Josh’s party tonight?” or “Do you have the math homework for this week? I totally forgot to write it down.” You could also start off with a comment about something you have in common, like “Mr. Jones was being so crazy in history today,” or “The Lions played really well last night, did you watch the game?” Memes and gifs are a great way to break the ice over text. Send one that relates to something you know about them, that you have in common, or that reminds them of you.  For example, if your crush is taking exams all week, you could send them a funny “Good luck on your exams!” meme or gif. Try not to send something that’s totally random, which could confuse them or make them feel awkward. You want them to be able to tell what you’re referencing, which will make it feel like a funny inside joke. If you know that your crush has a good sense of humor, try throwing in a light, underhanded “insult” to make them want to work for your approval. Being witty and funny will make the conversation fun and keep your crush on their toes.  For example, you could say something like, “I heard you passed your driver’s test the other day… I’ll tell everyone I know to stay off the roads ;)” You can also try self-deprecating or exaggerated humor about yourself. If they mention that you got a high score on a test, for example, you could say something like, “Yeah, apparently I’m a genius or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” Only tease them about lighter topics. Stay away from things like family, appearance, politics, or other sensitive subjects, especially if you’re just getting to know them. It can feel really frustrating if your crush doesn’t text you back right away, but do your best to stay patient and not text them until they respond. Texting them over and over again can get annoying and make you seem needy.  Waiting to text back until they respond can show that you’re relaxed, flexible, and even intriguing. It’s best not to flood them with messages even when they do text you back. Sending just one or two messages at a time shows that you’re playing it cool and have your own life. Going overboard with emojis, exclamation marks, and question marks can make you seem unsure of yourself. Instead, limit yourself to just one exclamation mark or emoji per text, especially at the beginning when you’re still learning your crush’s texting style. Don’t hide behind your phone and pretend you’re someone that you’re not. Being genuine and confident in who you are is the most attractive thing you can do! Feel free to take a few minutes between texts to take a few calming breaths and think about what you want to say next. It’s fine to take up to 10-15 minutes (but no longer) to send your next text if you really need time to think. No matter how many friendly, charismatic techniques you use, sometimes your crush just won’t be interested. If they’re responding with 1-2 word messages, or not responding at all, they’re probably not that invested in the conversation—and not worth your time.  At this point, it’s best to put down your phone and walk away. Stop texting them and respect that they don’t feel the same way, but remember that it’s their loss. Remember, you should never use up your time on someone who doesn’t see how awesome you are. It’s OK to feel disappointed and upset, but you should also be really proud of yourself for having the courage to put yourself out there.

Article: Just before you go out and begin your wedding, take a few deep breaths. You want to feel and appear relaxed. Remember that it's normal to feel wedding jitters, just about everyone does! Close your eyes and focus on your breath, allowing tension to escape your body. This will ensure that you appear confident and graceful as you begin the service. This is one of the most important days of your life, so don't forget to smile! Let everyone see how excited you are to start the next chapter of your life with the one you love. Smiling truly brings out your radiance and beauty, and can even make you more relaxed and confident. You just got married! You probably don't have your appearance on your mind, but after the service and before the reception, you should do a quick touch-up. The passionate kiss you shared with your spouse may have shifted your hair or makeup, and you want to make sure everything is on point for the next part of your day. During your reception, you will no doubt be eating a drinking. Avoid spilling anything on your dress or suit by eating carefully. Make sure you are eating over your plate and not leaning back to much. Place any beverages in front of your plate and try not to do any reaching. Place a napkin in your lap and make sure it covers your entire lap.   If you drop something on your dress or suit, immediately got to the kitchen or bathroom. Get a clean napkin or towel and moisten it with water. Then dab the area repeatedly until you see the stain coming out.   Do not vigorously rub or scrub the area. Though it seems counterintuitive, dabbing is actually the best way to get out a stain.
