Article: You can't expect people to bother with you if you don't bother with yourself. Try a bit of make up but never go overboard. A suggestion would be to focus on the eyes. Nobody ever has ugly or unflattering eyes. If you play the eyes up, not only will you look cool, but when people are talking to you, they'll be more focused. When guys talk about their favorite things about girls, they almost never mention the eyes as the top factor, but even they might not realize that it's the eye contact that starts the attraction in the first place. Try something new. Do you always wear your hair up? Let it down and see how it looks. Again, this works best with the comparison technique. Don't implement it unless you like it, and don't implement it immediately either. You still have some more things to get in order before you can wow everyone. This is a small but important thing. Guys generally notice girls when they are––well let's just say when they aren't wearing something that is the same color as the locker or wall. They also associate bright colors with confidence and approachability. This is a very small thing but very important. People tend to notice you only if you're standing properly. It also makes you more elegant and makes you look confident and approachable.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Spend time on your appearance. Change your look, slightly. Wear bright colors. Do not hunch when you walk.
Article: This person might “bump into you” in the halls between classes or make a point to speak to you each time they see you. If they go out of their way to say hello or to speak to you, this can indicate interest. Watch for the person making excuses to be near you and spend time with you. For example, they might be eager to offer you a ride home or to walk you to class. Someone who’s interested in you might touch your hand or arm as you speak or touch the small of your back as they move behind you. Touching is a way to get close to you and show interest. Eye contact while touching you is a good sign that they’re interested, especially if they smile. The person may ask if you just got a haircut, got new shoes, or tried something different with your makeup. Someone who is interested in you will pay more attention to small details. If they comment about something, take this as a good sign. For example, they might say, “That’s a nice shirt. Is it new?” Someone who’s interested in you might start mirroring your gestures, posture, or body position. Mirroring shows that they feel connected and likely attracted to you. Notice if the person started out sitting or standing in one way and later looks more similar to yourself. Change your body position and notice if theirs changes as well. Some people choose to be indirect in showing that they’re interested and may send some mixed signals. For example, they might wait to text you back or not really appear to be interested in you. While manipulative, this is one way that some people show interest. It’s up to you, however, to respond in a way that is acceptable to you. If you like it when someone plays hard to get, play along. If you don’t like it, move on.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
See if they go out of their way to spend time with you. See if they gently touch you. Pay attention when they notice small changes. Notice if they are sitting or standing in a similar way as you are. Recognize if they play hard to get.
Article: Cut 2 x 10 in (25 cm) squares of fabric. Choose a fabric that matches your wedding colors. It can be anything you like: satin, cotton, burlap, etc. If the fabric has a print, make sure that it goes with your wedding theme. You can make the pillow a different size but make sure to add a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) seam to the length and width. Set the first square with the right side up. Place the second square on top, with the right side facing down. Secure the edges with pins. This is fastest using a sewing machine, but it can be sewn by hand too. Use a straight stitch and a matching thread color. If you don't know how to sew, secure the edges with hot glue or fabric glue. Allow the glue to dry before continuing. While not absolutely necessary, this will reduce bulk and help your pillow look nicer. Cut as close to the stitching as possible without cutting through the thread. Be sure to clip the corners along the edge you left open. This will make it easier to sew it shut later. Flip the corners into the pillow, then pull them out through the opening. Use something blunt and pointy, like a knitting needle or pencil to push the corners out further. Polyester stuffing will work the best. You can use other types of filling, such as foam or a blank ring pillow. Push the stuffing into the pillow so that it does not stick out. Fold the raw edges of the opening in by 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm), then secure them with sewing pins. Hand sew the opening shut with a ladder stitch, then remove the pins.  If you don't want to sew, hot glue the opening. Work on 1 inch (2.5 cm) at a time. Press and hold the section until it sets before doing the next section. You can use fabric glue on the opening. Work on 1 inch (2.5 cm) at a time. Secure each section with a clothespin until the glue dries. Choose a piece of ribbon and string that match your pillow. Fold the string in half to make a loop that is positioned behind the ribbon. Pull the ends of the string to make a knot around the ribbon, then tug on them to tighten the knot. Slide the knot across the ribbon until it is centered.   For a fancier pillow, use a 1⁄16 or 1⁄8 in (1.6 or 3.2 mm) ribbon instead of string. The ribbon will make the decorative bow. The string will allow you to tie the rings to the pillow. Fold the left and right ends of the ribbon into loops. Cross the left loop over the right loop, then thread it through the gap that you made. Tug on the loops to tighten the bow. Leave the strings out of the bow. Position the bow in the middle of the pillow. You can sew the bow on with matching thread or hot glue the bow instead. Make sure that the strings and the tails of the bow are hanging below the loop. If you want to create a tufted pillow, sew a few stitches through the middle of the pillow first.

Tie both strings into a knot or a bow.
