Q: Whether you guys are close friends or just in the same class, you should give him space after you reject him. You may try to be friends as usual or to ask him for the homework assignment, but he may not be ready to talk to you just yet. So give him some breathing room until he's ready to talk to you as friends. Don't be hurt if this takes him longer than you think. The next time you hang out, don't look at him like he's a wounded puppy or make an extra effort to ignore him. Just be yourself, act natural, and be kind if he comes up to talk to you. If he doesn't talk to you, you don't have to take the initiative, because he's probably just not ready to really face you. The important thing is that you act like it's no big deal, so he knows that the fact that he got rejected wasn't a big issue and that you can be friends and talk to each other. Spare the guy the embarrassment of having your fifty closest friends know what happened. If you tell all of your friends that you rejected him, then they may start acting weird around him too, and he'll know. If he's a nice guy, then he doesn't deserve to be treated this way when he made an honest effort to get closer to you. Try to keep what happened to yourself; after all, if a guy rejected you, you wouldn't want him to tell all of his friends, would you? If you are talking again, don't be mean or rude to him, unless he deserves it. If he's trying to just be friends or to be nice to you, then the least you can do is smile and return his friendliness. This doesn't mean you have to hang out with him or spend a lot of time with him, but if you do cross paths, just treat him with human decency. Just don't flirt, touch him, or be so nice that he may be getting mixed singles or think he has another shot. Have empathy for him above everything else. He must be hurting because you rejected him, and you have to remember that, even if you don't want to date him.
A: Give him space. Don't act weird the next time you see him. Don't tell everyone you know what happened. Treat him kindly.

Q: . From clothing to unused kitchen tools to furniture, you can probably find something to throw out. Donate objects in good condition to charity, and throw out the rest. As a rule of thumb, if you haven't used something in a year, you can probably get rid of it.  If you have not used an item in 12 months, it is most likely clutter. The same goes for anything that does not really bring you happiness, or does not function well--such as being broken, or too big or small. A garage sale is another good way to give your stuff to people who need it more. If you have furniture that simply does not work for the space, consider renting a storage facility. This includes things like Grandma's china cabinet that you will use when you get a larger place. A storage locker is also good for rotating seasonal items, like clothing that you will only wear part of the year.  Check with your property owner for nearby storage facilities. He or she may have some tips on the good ones nearby, and might even have a deal with one. If you have a friend or relative with a large house, he or she may let you store these objects in an attic or basement for free. Consider cost of storage, however. Storage units have a cost every month, which while modest, can really add up over time. Is it really worth hundreds of dollars to hold on to your old furniture? Scan your files and photographs to make digital copies. A single hard drive can easily store every paper record you have in the apartment. Just make sure to make at least one back up, so you don't lose the files to a technological error. Spare jars or plastic food containers can store the little, miscellaneous objects that build up. From children's toys to nails and screws, these are good to have around. If you are out of room in your kitchen cupboards, store pasta and other dry food in empty jars. Place these on top of the kitchen cabinets for practicality and ambiance.
A: Get rid of extra stuff Put objects in storage. Transfer paper records to digital. Store odds and ends in empty jars.

Q: Here's what you'll need to make roasted butternut squash:  1 large butternut squash 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tbsp. cinnamon Salt to taste Pepper to taste    You can use a large or small spoon to do this, or use a knife to cut out the center a bit first and then scoop it out with a spoon. Cut it into 1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes.  Try not to let them touch. You won't need to cover the cookie sheet to roast the squash properly. Place 1/2 cup of butter on a frying pan and heat it until it melts. You can also place the butter in a microwave-safe covered dish and heat it for 30 seconds to one minute. Drizzle 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the squash and toss it to coat evenly. Then, season it with 2 tbsp. of cinnamon and with salt and pepper to taste. Place the cookie sheet with the squash in the oven. Loosen it and toss it with a spatula, and then return it to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is golden brown and a fork pierces it easily. Serve this squash immediately, while it's hot.
A: Gather your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Peel the squash using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Slice the squash in half. Remove the seeds and pulp. Cube the squash. Grease a 9 x 13" cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Spread the cubes evenly on a cookie sheet. Melt 1/2 cup of butter. Drizzle the butter and brown sugar mixture over the squash. Cook the squash in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove the squash from the oven. Serve.

Q: The purpose of using the heat gun is to reheat the adhesive for easy removal. Plug in the heat gun and ensure it will reach your work area. You may need to use an extension cord. Direct the heat gun toward the adhesive. Place the heat gun as close to the adhesive as possible without touching it. Continue until you see the adhesive begin to give and melt. Use an old, but clean, towel to begin to wipe away the melted adhesive. You may want to re-heat the adhesive and wipe again. Carefully move your floor scraper over the surface of any remaining adhesive. Move gently enough to avoid damaging your floor.
A:
Locate a heat gun. Apply heat to the adhesive. Wipe the area with a dry towel. Use a scraper to lift any leftover residue.
