Problem: Article: The age of consent varies from state to state, so know what the legal age is where you live.  If you are under the age of consent, do not try to date someone who is over the age, as that can create difficulties in setting boundaries and could potentially have criminal implications. Older guys may have more experiences and freedoms than someone who is younger. They might drive a car, have less or no parental supervision, or have already had sexual relationships. Know ahead of time what you’re comfortable with and stay true to that instead of worrying about what he wants.  Be confident about telling him what you are and aren't okay with.  It’s better to know that your expectations are different are early on rather than staying quiet and finding yourself in a compromising situation. Speaking your mind and establishing boundaries are signs of maturity that will make him respect you more. You don’t have to wear skimpy clothing to get his attention. If you’re comfortable, wear clothes that flatter your figure and make you feel confident, but aren't overly sexy or revealing. You want the guy to be interested in who you are, not just your body; Leave room for mystery. While some guys may like people who seem younger, others prefer someone who acts more mature for their age. Being mature doesn't mean being dry, serious, or boring— you don’t have to pretend to be someone you’re not. Typically, behaving maturely means being confident, comfortable, and cool.  If you're a girl, it's said that girls mature faster than boys, so you may already be on the same maturity level as the guy you have your eye on. Avoid being clingy and following him around everywhere. Doing this might make you seem like more of a little sister than a romantic interest. Do not act needy, as this is a sign of low self-esteem. Neediness is unattractive because it demands constant attention, reassurance, and affirmation from another person which can be annoying. Wanting to be with somebody is very different from needing to be with somebody.  Don’t brag about how “experienced” you are. Trying to seem mature in this way actually has the opposite effect. Being confident in who you are is mature and extremely attractive.
Summary: Make sure it is safe and legal. Put your comfort level first, not his. Be yourself and be mature.

Problem: Article: You will always be who you are. This is possibly the hardest part of practicing self-acceptance. Embrace your good points. Look at the list of good qualities you developed in the steps above. What are some of the things you love about yourself? Are you especially creative? Do you have a great sense of humor? Learn to focus on your best qualities and you'll realize there's lots to like! For example, are you an introvert by nature? Do you have a Type-A personality? These are key aspects of your personality that are difficult to alter. But more importantly, why should you want to change your very being? It's your core being! Instead of trying to change yourself, embrace all aspects of your personality, even those you might think at first are undesirable qualities.  Get some perspective. Introverts, by way of example, are great at developing new ideas and making plans. Moreover, introverts often make especially good friends for themselves because they can find fulfillment and strength from within. They also often demonstrate a high level of curiosity so their minds are always running and working and, as a result, they're rarely bored.  The more we understand, accept, and then embrace who we are, the easier it will be to experiment with this process and accept our own unique nature and abilities. You value honesty in your friends so you should value it in yourself. Don't be afraid to be open and straightforward about the things you are good at. This is not arrogance; it's honesty. For example, maybe you've been told many times that you are a good listener. Instead of downplaying your good qualities and achievements, take ownership of and value them. Everyone makes mistakes. This is part of being human. If we hope to be friends with anyone, including with ourselves, it is necessary to be able to move on from the mistakes of the past. No one needs to carry the burden of regret with him into his future interactions.  Try taking a small change in perspective. Instead of viewing each mistake as a catastrophe and punishing yourself, view mistakes as opportunities for learning and personal growth. For instance, you might think that because you’ve cheated on a romantic partner in the past that you are an inherently bad person and undeserving of happiness. However, research has shown that in some cases cheating on a partner can serve as a positively transformative experience and does not necessarily indicate a dysfunctional pattern. Instead of condemning yourself, ask what you have learned can take away from negative and bad experiences for your own self-improvement.
Summary: Realize that you are you. Realize that there are things about yourself that you cannot change. Be honest with yourself. Admit your humanity.

Problem: Article: The inner section is closest to the center hole of the wreath and designated by the 2 innermost wires. Place your non-dominant hand underneath the burlap and press it upward through the inner section. Continue feeding it through by pulling it with your dominant hand until the loop extends about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) upward. Since there are 2 layers, this totals about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of burlap.  Use your first 4 fingers as a guide for loop size. If the loops are loose around your fingers, pull down on the burlap until it fits snugly over them. Increase loop size for a fluffier wreath and decrease it for a tighter wreath.
Summary: Press the first 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of the burlap through the inner section.

Problem: Article: If you find yourself plagued by flies or other insects, trap them with duct tape. Cut off a length and then attach the two free ends to each other to form a loop, with the sticky side facing outward. Fix this to your ceiling wherever flies are concentrating. Simply pat the sticky side of a swath of tape over your clothes, furniture, or anything else that needs a quick clean-up. Repeat as needed until all the offending particles are removed. For large areas, speed things up by grabbing an empty paint roller and wrapping your tape around the actual roller with the sticky side facing out. Use a strip of duct tape to cover the leftover bits of price stickers and other adhesives left behind when you tried to tear them off new purchases or other items. Rub your finger back and forth over the surface of the tape to make sure it adheres to the offending adhesive underneath, and then rip the tape off. Repeat as needed, then remove all final traces if desired by misting window spray and scrubbing lightly with a cloth or paper towel. Say you want to keep a spare key outside, or hide a thumbdrive in your office where prying eyes won’t find it. Just rip off an appropriately sized strip of tape and secure your key, thumbdrive, or other small object in the center of its sticky side. Then attach the tape to a solid surface somewhere out of sight, where people won’t think to look.
Summary:
Use it as fly tape. Clean up dust, dirt, and hair. Get rid of other sticky materials. Hide small objects.
