In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The easiest way to avoid your overly friendly neighbor is to look outside before walking out the door. Peer through your peephole or window and, if you see them, wait a few minutes before opening the door. If you exit your apartment and hear them around the corner, avoid an awkward encounter by waiting for them to leave the building or enter their apartment. You might not have time in your schedule to wait for them to leave the scene, or they might see you head out and bombard you. Stop a long-winded conversation before it starts. Smile, wave or say hello, and keep walking.  Say something like, “Hi there! I’m in a rush and can’t chat. Catch up with you later!” With any luck, they’ll take the hint after you do this a couple of times. A friendly, neighborly conversation starts to get stale after about four minutes. If they start to gab and you’ve reached your limit, find a way to gracefully end the conversation.  Try saying, “Well, I’m running late for an appointment. Have a good one!” Other excuses could be a lunch or dinner date, work, or meeting your workout partner. If you’re entering your home, you could say, “I have to start dinner,” or “I have piles of laundry (or another chore) to do.” You could always just leave it vague and say, “I just noticed the time - I have to run!” If your neighbor is at your door, you are not required to answer, especially if you don't feel safe doing so. If, however, you feel comfortable answering the door, you can quickly set a boundary by saying, "Now is really not a great time for me to talk." If you wish to have a relationship with your neighbor, suggest an alternate time that you can talk. Say, "Are you free tomorrow afternoon, around four? I'll be free then and would love to take a walk and catch up."  If you don't like them dropping by unannounced, you can also tell them politely, “It’s really best to call or set something up instead of popping in.”
Summary: Look outside before exiting. Tell them you’re in a rush and can’t chat. Excuse yourself politely to exit conversations. Reschedule chats to a more convenient time.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A well-timed smile can work wonders. Make your smile look as natural as possible, and use it to express self-confidence and an appreciation of the company you're presently keeping.  Smiling is especially important if you are trying to make a good impression on a woman. Typically speaking, a man has more physical power than the average woman has. Most women know this and will stay away from you if they perceive you to be potentially dangerous or violent. Smiling sends the message that you are friendly and less likely to be a threat.  Make sure that you are smiling and not leering, though. An appreciative grin or quick flash of your pearly whites is all it takes. If you stare her down hungrily with a huge smile plastered across your face, you could end up seeming more creepy than suave. While there can be some appeal to a guy who seems a little aloof, aloofness and suaveness do not blend well. If you want to be a suave gentleman, you need to use body language that seems warm and welcoming so that the people around you feel comfortable.  An example of closed body language would be crossing your arms. This puts a physical barrier in between you and he person you are speaking to. Likewise, pointing your body or head in a direction pointing away from the person you're talking to conveys the message that your attention is directed, in part, toward something else.  People revert to closed body language because it feels safer and reduces the risk of rejection. To seem suave, you need to expect and invite people to accept you, which requires open body language. Eye contact lets the people around you know that you're listening and paying attention to them. Plus, focusing on eye contact can prevent your eyes from straying to other areas that you could get in trouble for staring at.  Direct eye contact can also make you seem more attractive to women. It produces a physiological response that keeps the brain interested, and as a result, you seem more interesting, as well. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, though. If you stare a woman down without blinking or occasionally turning away, you're likely to scare her off.  A good way to tell if you're doing it right is to gauge a woman's response to your eye contact. If she maintains eye contact back, that's a good sign. It can also be a good sign if she smiles shyly and looks away while stealing glances back into your eyes every now and then. It is a very bad sign if she attempts to put distance in between you and her, though, or if she looks away keeps her eyes from looking back into yours. Knowing how to nod in a suave way can take time, and it may not feel natural at first. A quick, affirmative head nod can add a touch of class to your verbal responses, however.  Nodding is one of the more subtle forms of body language. If you like the way a conversation is going, give a little nod and continue to do so every now and then. If you do not like the way a conversation is heading, stop nodding. Most people, especially women, will pick up on this polite and nonverbal cue. In many cases, you will also notice that people, particularly women, tend to get a little more invested in a conversation once you start nodding. This signals to them that you find what they say to be interesting, and the subtlety of this move is what makes it so suave. When talking to someone you want to impress with your suave demeanor, move in a little closer to make a stronger impression. This little extra bit of personal attention can add a lot of power to your act. If you're standing, take a step or two closer. When you're sitting, lean in. If either option feels unnatural for a certain circumstance, you can convey the same attitude simply by leaning your head toward the person you're speaking with. A light, friendly touch can be a good way to display the sort of confident, warm demeanor you need to be suave.  Most people in our society tend to be a little impersonal with people they do not know well. As such, we use very little touch on an everyday basis. Slightly brushing against an appropriate area, like a hand or a shoulder, can offer just enough touch to a touch-starved woman to make her want more. Pay attention to body language. If you touch a girl and she tenses up or backs away, she is not comfortable with your touch. If she relaxes or leans into your touch, you're doing it the right way. When all else fails, just keep in mind that you need to appear confident to those around you to leave a suave impression. Your body language and behavior should all ooze with self-confidence. Just be careful to avoid seeming narcissistic. Along with many of the tips already mentioned, you need to have confident posture. In other words, no slouching is allowed. Keep your back straight and your shoulders squared. Another key element of being suave is knowing how to be a gentleman. Never push or pry your way into someone's personal space, and treat others with respect. Nothing screams “suave” more than a man who knows how to treat both himself and others right.
Summary:
Master a debonair smile. Use open, inviting body language. Make eye contact. Nod your head. Stand a little closer. Understand the power of touch. Demonstrate self-confidence. Be a gentleman.
