Q: This helps you to gain confidence and have a ready repertoire of things to say to keep the conversation going. Some of the things you could talk about include the weather, your studies/work assignments, recent achievements, places visited, movies seen, news stories of relevance or something you have in common with the person. Seek to make people laugh. Whether it's asking where your cell phone is when you're holding it or saying something wrong accidentally (or so they think), people like somebody who makes them laugh. Prepare yourself in advance by writing down and memorizing a few jokes. Or, find other fun things to share, such as stories about silly things that have happened to you. Remember that a lot of conversation is about encouraging the other person to do the talking, so be ready to listen carefully and act as a sounding board, feeding back summaries of what the other person has said to you. If you're nervous about talking to new people, ask your friends and family about what to say, and what to do if you say the wrong thing. Your friends and family won't mind you asking for tips on what to say to people.
A: Try writing down all the things you want to say to other people. Teach yourself to listen well. Talk to people you know and trust to gain more tips.

Q: Place the skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Sprinkle them on both sides with salt and pepper.  Cook them on the longer side if they're thicker than 1 inch (2.5 cm).    Fry it until it turns crispy.
A: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Season the pork chops. Lay the pork chops in the pan. Cook the pork chops on the first side for 3-4 minutes. Flip the pork chops with tongs.

Q: If you plan on driving your newborn home from the hospital, you’ll need to strap them into a car seat.  Only buy government approved car seats that have high safety ratings. If your partner plans on breastfeeding, buy some cotton nursing bras.  If you decide to feed your baby formula, buy some baby bottles.  Additionally, buy a cleaning brush if your baby bottles do not come packaged with one. Your baby should not use a dummy until they’re at least six months old, but you could choose to buy one at this point if you so desire. The obvious necessities for your baby’s room are the crib, blankets, and pillows.  However, you might also want a changing station -- a large piece of furniture designed for changing your baby’s diaper -- and a small dresser for baby clothes.  Nontoxic, baby-safe toys and/or a hanging mobile are also good purchases in advance of your newborn’s arrival. Your baby will need shirts, pants, and socks ready for them before they are born.  If possible, buy baby clothes at second-hand stores, since your newborn will grow fast and not get much use out of their clothing. Whether you buy new or used baby clothes, wash them before use. Stock up on diapers before your baby arrives.  If you plan on using a diaper delivery service, ensure that the first delivery arrives before your newborn’s due date.
A: Get a car seat. Purchase feeding supplies. Buy goods for the baby’s room. Buy baby clothes. Purchase diapers.

Q: Whether he's into sports, video games, movies, or books, talk about these subjects with him. Show him you have an interest in the things that make him who he is. If you don't know anything about these subjects, do a little research. You don't have to be an expert, just learn enough to start a conversation.  Read the highlights from his favorite team's most recent game, then ask him if he caught any of it. Research upcoming video games that will be released soon and ask him if he plans to buy one of them. Don't lie and pretend you know more than you do about these things. Be honest and say something like, “I don't know much about it, but it looks cool.” Show him you pay attention to what he says. Whenever you see him, ask him about something you discussed the last time you were together. If he said he had a big math test coming up, ask him how he did on it. If he mentioned his dog was sick, ask something like, "Hey, is Bella feeling any better today?" Don't pepper him with compliments every time you see him, but find small ways to fit them in. If he shows up wearing a shirt that looks new, or he seems more dressed up than usual, tell him he looks nice. Or, if he has a favorite t-shirt he wears a lot, tell him you like it with a simple "That's such a great shirt." Compliments don't always have to be about appearances. Tell him he has great taste in music or that he's a good artist. Showing him you trust and respect his opinion is a good way to hint that you like him. Ask him something trivial, like, “What movie should I watch this weekend?” or ask something more serious, like, “How should I deal with this fight with my friend?” Be sure to follow up with him the next time you see him and tell him how it went. Find a funny photo or gif and text it to him, saying “This made me think of you.” You'll show him not only that you think of him while you're apart, but also that you associate humor with him. It doesn't have to be funny. Pick an interesting article online and send him the link, saying something like, “This reminded me of our conversation yesterday.” If all else fails, don't be afraid to just be honest. Maybe he has trouble picking up on hints, or maybe he's too shy to make the first move. Try simply saying, “Hey, I really like you, do you want to go out sometime?” If he says no, tell him that's ok. Say something like, “Never hurts to ask,” then smile and start talking about something else.
A:
Talk to him about his interests. Follow up on things you've talked about before. Compliment him. Ask for his advice. Text or email him about something that reminded you of him. Come out and say you like him.
