In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to really get to know a guy, you have to get to know the people he spends his time with.  Be careful not to confuse his friends' actions with his actions. It's important to see how your man acts around his friends, but don't hold him accountable for way his friends behave on their own. Make an effort to get to know his family and see where he comes from. If you're going to be with someone long-term, you want to make sure that he can tolerate doing the things that only interest you, even if it means he has to sit through a chick flick once in a while. Make sure you'll be able to fulfill your part of the bargain and sit through some activities that might not be your favorite. Compromise is necessary for a healthy relationship, and sometimes you just have to let your guy monopolize the television with his favorite video game for a few hours. Make sure he is able to talk calmly about problems that arise in your relationship. Small arguments are inevitable in long-term relationships, but it's crucial that your man can communicate with you if something is wrong. Examine how he deals with stressful news. Life isn't all rainbows and kittens, and stressful situations are bound to arise. The important thing is that your guy supports you in trying times and approaches problems in a rational manner. See how your man acts when the little things go wrong. For example, if you get stuck in a snowstorm and end up getting towed down a mountain, is he angry for days on end or does he try to remedy the situation? You want to make sure your life partner can deal with less than desirable situations instead of getting angry.
Summary: Spend time with his family and friends. Take him to do activities that you like to do, and make sure you can tolerate the things that only he likes to do. Observe his behavior in stressful or challenging situations.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you can't stop thinking about a girl, but are too afraid to actually do anything about it, you should do something about it. Pining for someone who doesn't know you exist is way worse than getting turned down. At least you'll know, and then you can move on.  Don't make it complicated, or over-think it. Don't use any lines. Just walk up to this girl you've been thinking about a lot and introduce yourself. Say, "Hey, I know this might seem kind of random, but I've just always noticed you. You seem really sweet, and I like you a lot. Would you like to hang out sometime?" Read this article to learn more about talking to girls. If you've got a major crush on someone that you can't be with, that can be a tough situation. Maybe it's a friend who is already seeing someone, or a girl who doesn't even know you exist. Whatever the case, it's always a good idea to form new and different relationships with friends, and try to find the group you feel most comfortable around.

Throw yourself into your school work. Hang out with your friends. There's nothing wrong with just enjoying your life as it is. There's plenty of time for dating.

If you're stuck on some girl because she's very social, or very pretty, or all the other guys like her, that's pretty normal. But, it's also usually not real. It's better to find people that you actually have something in common with, and enjoy being around. That's not always the super-attractive cheerleader type. Try to focus less on superficial things and more on making a genuine connection with someone. Open yourself up to people and be friends first. " When you're young and fixed on young love, it can seem like you'll never find anyone as perfect as this girl you're crushing on.

Remember how into that toy you were obsessed with when you were like 7? How do you feel about it now? That's usually how you'll feel about crushes and young relationships when you get older. The single best way to move on from a crush that hasn't worked out is to turn your attentions elsewhere. Who else has got your eye? Who else seems like an interesting, attractive, and engaging person in your world? Crushes are fun and all, but it's also good to look inward. Focus on having fun with your friends and spending time with your family. There's plenty of time for romance.
Summary: Take a shot. Make new and different friends. Work on yourself for a while. Change up your priorities. Don't worry about finding "the one. Find someone else to crush on.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Push your chest out and keep your shoulders back. Relax, but do not slouch forward. Be confident. Consciously hold your shoulders back, and catch yourself when they hunch up around your ears. Let your shoulders pull your chest up, slightly, making room for your lungs to hold more air.  Don’t force it. Control your posture, but not so much that you are rigid. Keep your shoulders as far back as possible, but don't make yourself uncomfortable. Flatten your belly, but do not flex your abdominal muscles. Be upright, but relaxed. Do not bend forwards or backwards from the waist. Stand up straight so that your shoulders are above your ankles. Gaze straight forward so that your chin is parallel to the floor. Avoid looking up or down when you sing, lest you constrict your vocal chords and limit your range. Try to keep your throat as open and straight as possible – do not twist or stretch your neck out of its natural position. Stand with your feet about six inches apart, toes facing forward. Place one foot slightly further forward than the other. Rest on the heels and soles of your feet, and make sure that you are stable. Keep your knees and your elbows slightly bent. Let yourself relax into a comfortable and natural singing position. Many singers let their mouths close slightly as they sing, which can muffle the effect. Less space in your mouth means less sound coming out of your mouth. Open your mouth to lend resonance to your voice! Use the "two finger rule" as a litmus. When you are singing open vowels like "ah" and "oh," try to fit two fingers between your teeth. If you can fit two fingers between your teeth, then your mouth is open wide enough. If you can’t fit two fingers: open your mouth wider.
Summary:
Hold yourself upright. Keep your head up. Shift your weight slightly forward. Open your mouth wider when you sing.
