Article: This step will only work if he can see you during your communications. Having closed off body language or looking like you are in a rush may allow him to realize that his communication attempt with you is unwanted.  When he approaches you again, try looking away, slouching, fidgeting, or yawning, to signal that you are not interested.  Be careful not to accidentally signal interest with body language such as leaning in or laughing. Sometimes telling someone you are not interested is not enough, or there may not have been an opportunity to pull him aside and break the news. Keeping any communications short and to the point will help him get the hint that you are not interested. It will also make it more difficult for him to continue communicating as there will be less to discuss. For example, if he texts you and asks you how you your day is going and whether you want to go for dinner, you might ignore answering the question about your day and just say "thanks for the offer but no thanks!" If he has not yet gotten the hint and speaking with him directly has not helped, it is time to stop all communication. Do not give into feelings of guilt about backing off from the situation. If you believe that removing this individual from your life is a good idea, then keep that in mind if you start to feel guilty. Guilt motivates us to repair relationships, but sometimes it tries to motivate us when it is actually not in our best long term interest to do so.  If, after you say no to his date requests, he tries to make you feel guilty by saying things such as "I'm going through a hard time right now so you saying no really stings" keep in mind that guilt can misfire and lead you to make poor decisions. Just because you are stopping your communications does not mean you should delete the communications he sends you, particularly if you feel that you are or may be stalked by this individual, in which case it is a good idea to have a record of all communications should you need them for legal purposes. In severe cases, such as if you feel you are being stalked, changing your email address, phone number, or in the most severe cases, your home address and/or work location will greatly influence your chances of getting any unwanted individual to leave you alone.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Say no with your body language. Shorten your communications. Stop your communications. Ditch him.
Article: Pick out cotton crochet thread in a color you like to work with. Then, decide how fine you'd like the tatting work to be. If you're a beginner, you might want to use size 10 since it won't snag and its larger size will make it easier to see and unpick. For finer tatting, use size 50 or 80 cotton thread. If you're unsure which size you like to use, pick up size 10 and 20 thread. Once you've worked with both, you can determine which size you're more comfortable with using. Turn the shuttle on its side so you can see the hole in the center. Then, take the end of your thread and push it through the small hole so 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the thread extends from the side of the shuttle. Push the end of the thread against the shuttle so the thread doesn't slip out. Use your other hand to wrap the thread around the middle of the shuttle. You'll have to wrap tightly in order to catch the thread between each end of the shuttle. It doesn't matter which direction you wind the shuttle. Stop winding before the thread extends over the sides of the shuttle since this would make it difficult to tat. Try to wind the thread evenly around the center of the shuttle. Your shuttle shouldn't be connected to your ball of thread, so pull a long tail and use scissors to cut the thread. Don't wind the tail so you can begin tatting with it.
