INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most states have their own laws that protect employee rights and enforce state laws against workplace discrimination, harassment, and intimidation.  Although not all states have laws specifically prohibiting intimidating behavior or the creation of a hostile work environment, your state's labor office will have resources to assist you in dealing with the problem.  A state labor office employee also can tell you of any state laws that apply to your situation and assist you in filing a state complaint if applicable. Keep in mind that while state and federal law prohibit harassment and retaliation, these claims are different from claims of bullying or intimidation – although bullying and intimidation may qualify as harassment if they involve discrimination. You can use the EEOC's website to help evaluate the behavior and determine whether you're eligible to file a charge.  The EEOC has an online assessment tool available on its website so you can quickly determine if the federal agency has jurisdiction over your case.  You also can call 1-800-669-4000 to talk to an EEOC representative and find out if the harassment or intimidation you're dealing with constitutes a violation of federal law.  Under Federal law, typically the conduct you're experiencing must be connected to your employer specifically – not just a single person. However, the law makes employers automatically liable for the behavior of an employee if you are harassed or intimidated by a supervisor in a way that relates specifically to your job, such as failing to promote you or causing you to lose wages.  If you're eligible, you must file your charge at the EEOC field office nearest you. You can use the EEOC's online map to find the closest of the agency's 53 field offices.  The EEOC has an intake questionnaire you must fill out to file a charge. You can either submit the form in person, or mail it to the nearest field office.  After you file your charge, you may be contacted by an EEOC agent with additional questions or requests for further evidence or information. If the EEOC accepts your charge, it will send a copy to your employer within 10 days and either request a response or propose mediation.  If you are unable to resolve the problem in mediation, the EEOC may decide to investigate the charge.  Expect to take the investigation as long as six months. If the EEOC finds no violation of federal law, you will receive a notice of your right to file a lawsuit regarding the behavior. If the EEOC finds a violation, it may initiate a lawsuit on your behalf. While you should preserve a lawsuit as a last resort, if you can't get a satisfactory resolution to the issue by other means, you may want to consider it. Many employment lawyers offer a free consultation, and you can use this opportunity to get a legal opinion on whether the behavior rises to the level that a lawsuit would be a valuable use of your time and effort.

SUMMARY: Contact your state's labor office. File a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Cooperate with mediation and any investigation. Talk to an attorney.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Holding hands should be something that is enjoyable and brings two people closer. Holding hands for the first time is a special moment because it means you are putting yourself out there. Even if you've been thinking about it for a long time, if you decide to ask her to hold hands, it shouldn't be the first thing that comes out of your mouth when you see her. This may come across as abrupt as opposed to romantic. Make sure you are somewhere where you and your girlfriend feel comfortable. Try not to be somewhere that is too loud or distracting. For instance, try not to be in a really loud restaurant with TV's blaring from every side. This is probably not the place that your girlfriend wants to have this special moment with you. You also probably don't want to hold her hand for the first time in math class, or somewhere that both of you would rather not be.This moment should be about your relationship, not anything else. Take it off your mind for a while when you first see her. Settle into how you usually are with each other and make sure that you're not thinking about it too much. If you think too much about when you are going to take her hand, you might come across as quiet, worried or even bored.  Instead of thinking "Should I do it now? Or maybe I should do it now?", try to relax. Make her laugh. This will make the moment even more special when it happens. If you are nervous and can't stop worrying about when you are going to ask her, take it off the table. Think to yourself, "I don't have to ask her today. I can always ask her some other time". Giving yourself the option to postpone takes off the pressure and will help you relax. You may even find that it will relax you enough to actually go through with it! You can tell an amazing amount about what a girl is feeling or thinking by reading her body language. You could even argue that body language is more important that what someone actually says, because it shows their level of comfort and interest. This is why if you are ready to take her hand, you should test the waters first and try to pick up cues about whether she wants to hold hands. Some examples of positive and receptive body language include:  Smiling Leaning towards you as opposed to away from you Having her face, torso and feet pointed at you Mirroring your gestures or expressions Seeming relaxed as opposed to stiff Does she seem to mind you getting closer? If she moves a little bit away as you move closer, she may not yet feel comfortable holding hands. However, you can tell that she is interested if she does not move away and if her torso and feet are pointed towards you as opposed to pointed away. If someone has their body pointed towards you while you are close together, it shows a level of comfort and trust. In the course of conversation, see how your girlfriend reacts to your touch. If she says something funny, touch her shoulder and tell her how funny she is.  If she is receptive to you getting close to her and doesn't try to create distance between both of you, then you'll know that it's a good time to ask her.

SUMMARY:
Don't immediately go for her hand. Be somewhere special. Get comfortable with her. Read her body language. Get a bit closer to her. Test out physical contact.
