Article: If you want to let people know how about your sexual identity without explicitly stating it, you can definitely work some casual hints into conversation. Maybe you want your best friend to know that you are a lesbian. Drop some clues by saying something like, “Did you see that girl sitting next to me in Biology class? Wow, I could get lost in those beautiful eyes!" If you are bisexual, you could say, “I’m not sure who I’m more into in La La Land: Emma Stone or Ryan Gosling!” Try to find a way to bring up romantic relationships in an everyday conversation. You can do this with friends or family. For example, if you’re working towards coming out to your sister, bring up the subject of dating. You could start by asking her how her relationship is going. If she’s dating a man and you identify as gay, you could say, “He’s such a great guy. I’d love to find a man to date who is just as funny as Josh.” You can also make it less specific. For instance, if you’re bisexual you could say, “Intelligence is the most important thing to me in a relationship. I’m much less interested in gender.” Sometimes people just make an assumption that you are straight. For instance, if you are a single woman at a bar, it wouldn’t be unusual for a man to come up and offer to buy you a drink. It makes sense that you don’t feel like talking to a stranger about your sexual orientation. Try dropping some verbal clues.  You could say, “I really mean it when I say you are definitely not my type. It’s not personal. I’m just positive you’re not my type.” Of course, if you're into the person you should feel free to flirt back! Pop culture is a great way to naturally bring up sexual orientation. You could make comments about famous people that you admire who are LGBT. This might be a good strategy for gauging how your family feels about people who are LGBT. Try saying something like, “I love how Ellen Degeneres really owns her sexuality! Maybe someday I’ll be as comfortable and confident as she is.”

Article: The decision to seek contact can be motivated by many things, from wanting to learn family medical history to desiring a relationship. If your father is the one initiating contact, remember that the decision rests with you, not with him or with your other relatives or friends. You may choose to hold on to his contact information for as long as you want in order to be ready for the encounter. You may want to read accounts written by other people who have reunited with an absent or unknown birth father. Support groups for adopted people may be helpful. You can also talk to your friends and relatives about your decision, though you should recognize that they may have their own feelings about the process as well.  Recognize that your father might not want to meet you, at least right away. Before you initiate contact, think about what it will be like if he refuses contact. Make a plan to reach out to specific people, such as supportive friends or a social worker, if this happens. Your father might react with surprise, fear, joy, or, most likely, a combination of emotions. Parents often carry significant guilt or even trauma related to children they've never met. Recognize that your father's reactions are likely to evolve. Make sure that you can talk about your own feelings about his reactions with someone you trust. Avoid fantasizing about your “ideal” father. What do you expect your father to be like, and how will you handle it if he is very different? It's more healthy to focus on getting answers to basic questions or filling in gaps in your knowledge about yourself than to dream about finding a perfect father.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Decide whether you want to meet your father. Prepare yourself emotionally. Think about what you hope to get out of meeting your father.
Article: You'll get the best flavor of coffee by grinding whole beans just before brewing. Measure out 30 g of whole beans and place them in your grinder. Grind the beans until they're medium-fine which is about the size of coarse sugar. Burr grinders will give you more control over the grind and will make more uniform grounds than blade grinders will. Measure 3 tablespoons (about 30 g) of coffee grounds into the moistened filter. Shake the brewer a little so the coffee grounds are at an even level. Level grounds will make the coffee extract evenly. Then place the carafe with the brewer on a digital scale and set it to zero. You'll need to keep track of how much water you're pouring over the grounds, so the scale comes in handy.
