article: Wherever you are—a game, practice, club meeting, local coffee shop, class—chances are there is a person near you who you have yet to meet.  Open up a conversation about what is going on around you.   After class, ask the person next to you, “What did you think of that lesson/test/discussion?” In Spanish club, ask another person for a recommendation on the best tapas restaurant in your area.  Or ask if they know a place you can go together to practice speaking Spanish with native speakers. At a concert, ask your neighbor, “Have you seen this band before?” or ask for recommendations of similar groups they listen to that you might also like. During practice for team sports or activities, ask a new acquaintance for tips on performing better. People like to be around others that look content, and smiling shows that you are interested in the conversation and in knowing that person better.  Smile with your whole face, not just your lips.  Practice in a mirror if you aren’t a naturally smiley person to make sure you can tell you are smiling just by looking at your eyes. Be genuine when you smile, not fake.  It helps to be comfortable in your surroundings, which is why it is important to only seek out activities and groups you have a genuine interest in. Ask the person you want to befriend questions about themselves, instead of dominating the conversation.  Show you are really interested in getting to know them better and they will most likely want to keep talking to you.  Aim to listen to them at least three times as much as you speak.  But don’t neglect to answer questions they ask you, too! When it’s your turn to speak, offer insight into your personality or interests to give them a glimpse of who you are as a person. If you are on a sports team, maybe they would like to go to a professional game with you.  After a concert, ask your friend-to-be to attend the next one you plan to go to.  Invite your fellow Spanish speaking friend to that tapas restaurant they recommended.  If they say no, don’t give up, but also avoid pushing a “friend-date.” Wait until the next time you speak to invite them to a different outing. Not everyone will want to hang out outside of the group you both attend.  That’s ok! There are other people there too, so try a different person next time.

Write an article based on this "Track your progress so you can see how far you’ve come. Celebrate your small achievements to encourage you to keep going. Use positive self-talk to make you feel confident. Surround yourself with people who motivate you. Treat your failures as a lesson so you keep improving."
article: You may not realize how much progress you’re making if you don’t track it. Try different ways of tracking yourself to see what works for you. Here are some ideas:  Put a star on your calendar for days you work on your goal. Post progress pics online. Tell your friend about your progress. Keep a goal diary to track what you’re doing. Keep a list of your milestone accomplishments. It usually takes a while to achieve a big goal. However, you’ll likely achieve a lot of small goals along the way. Make a point to celebrate each time you accomplish a small step on your journey toward your goal. This will remind you that you’re making progress and will help you stay on track. For instance, if you want to run a marathon, you might celebrate each time you finish a shorter race, such as 5k, 10k, and half-marathon runs. How you talk to yourself can have a lot of impact on what you’re able to accomplish. Tell yourself supportive statements, and challenge any negative thoughts you have. You might even try using positive affirmations.  Tell yourself things like, “I can do this,” “I’m making so much progress,” and “I can do anything I set my mind to.” If you catch yourself thinking something like, “This is too hard,” challenge it. Tell yourself, “I’ve done hard things in the past, and I can do this, too.” Identify the people in your life who make you feel upbeat and capable of reaching your goals. Additionally, look for new friends who share similar goals. Spend more time with these individuals because they’ll help you maintain your motivation. Consider spending less time with people who try to bring you down. If someone doesn’t support your goals, they likely aren’t a good friend for you. Making a mistake feels awful, but it’s a normal part of the process toward success. Everyone experiences failure, and sometimes it’s the only way for you to learn how to do something right. When you mess up, try to find the lesson in what happened. Then, try again.  For example, let’s say you audition for a role in a play but don’t get picked. You might talk to the director to find out how your audition could be better. Similarly, you might try to run a marathon but not be able to finish. This experience might make you realize you need to change your training regimen.

If your goal is to let a guy know that you're interested, all of your charms should be focused squarely on him. Splitting your attention up between multiple guys may create the impression that you’re naturally outgoing or not looking for anything serious, which could in turn cool things off between you and your potential beau. You should still make an effort to be friendly with the other guys you talk to, but watch your body language to keep from sending mixed signals. Pick out items that flatter your figure and make you look and feel like a million bucks. If possible, plan your outfit ahead of time when you know there’s a chance that you’ll run into the guy you’ve had your eye on. And, of course, make sure it's suitable for the occasion.  Focus on one part of your body to emphasize. If your favorite pair of jeans makes your legs look great, choose a shirt, shoes, and other accessories that won’t be a distraction.  There’s a difference between put-together and provocative. Wearing clothes that are too tight or revealing can make you look desperate for attention, which could be offputting to the guy if you arrange to run into him unexpectedly. Every now and then, fly solo to the bar, café, gym, or library where your interest hangs out. You’ll be more approachable alone than you would be in a group. If he still doesn’t know you that well, he may find it difficult to approach you when you’re surrounded by fifteen of your best friends.  Encountering your interest unaccompanied will give the two of you a chance to chat in a more intimate one-on-one environment. You don’t necessarily need to be completely solitary, but opting for a small entourage over a big one will make talking to you less intimidating. If you run into your interest at a party, crowded night spot, or boisterous social event, break away from all the excitement going on around you and retire to somewhere more private. You’ll be able to enjoy some quality time alone, and you won’t have to shout in order to hear each other. Outdoor environments are often preferable to indoor ones, since it’s easier to take your leave from these areas than it is from a jam-packed room. If you’ve been getting along well for a while and he still hasn’t made a move, it may be time to take matters into your own hands. Asking him “Would you like to go out with me sometime?” or even “Is it alright if I kiss you?” will leave no doubt in his mind that you want to take things to the next level. Be patient and give him a chance to work up his nerve before you put all your cards on the table. Out of respect, he may be waiting until he’s sure it’s what you want before he risks offending you.
