Summarize the following:
Each of these techniques work nicely with one another, and after you’ve approached this guy and started up a conversation, you’ll want to talk more, or again at a different time.  So stack these techniques in the way that feels most comfortable, and keep the conversation going or use them the next time you talk.  If you say hello or introduce yourself and would like to talk more, follow up with a question.  For example, “Hi, my name is _________, and you are? I’ve noticed that you come to this coffee shop a lot, can you recommend an espresso drink?” Or you can follow up with a compliment.  “Hi, I’m ____________, what shall I call you? You know, you have the loveliest smile and it brightens my day every time I see it.” No matter who you talk to, if you talk long enough, you’ll find that you have at least one thing in common, be it where you’re from, or favorite food, or even a song you both like.  And we like shared experiences and to feel a kinship with others.  So, ask him questions and figure out what it is that you two have in common.  After you’ve introduced yourself, and perhaps after a compliment or question, you might say something like, “That book that you’re reading, is that for a class? Oh, it is? What school do you go to? Hey, me too!” This process of discovery is a great opportunity for you to learn more about this guy, and for him to learn about you. You’ve made eye contact, you’ve approached him, you’ve introduced yourself, you’ve talked a little, and while you might not ask him out on a date right away, you can suggest informally getting together sometime.  This shows him that you’ve enjoyed his company, would like to see him again, and that you’re warm and welcoming.  You’re extremely shy and this might be a terrifying idea.  Remember, the suggestion is informal, no-risk, and non-committal. You might say, “it’s been great talking with you _________.  Perhaps I can buy you a cup of coffee the next time we’re both here.” You approached your guy and started up a conversation.  Bravo! That took a lot of courage.  Keep up the good work and keep talking with others.  Continued practice will help ensure that you don’t lose the skills you’ve gained, and also help ease your nerves the second time you talk to your guy.

summary: Circle back around. Find commonalities. Suggest getting together. Keep talking to strangers.

The Outlook app icon resembles a blue box with a white "o" on it and a white envelope behind it.  If you aren't signed into Outlook, enter your primary Microsoft email address, enter your password if prompted, and follow any additional instructions. The Outlook app is different than the Outlook website. It's in the upper-left side of the Outlook app window. A pop-out menu will appear.  If you don't have a File option in the upper-left corner of the Outlook window, you're either on the Outlook website or not using a version of Outlook that allows you to add accounts. On a Mac, you'll instead click Tools at the top of the screen. This option is in the upper-left side of the Outlook File page. A pop-up window will appear. On a Mac, you'll instead click Accounts... in the Tools drop-down menu. Type in the email address of the Gmail account that you want to synchronize with Outlook. It's below the text field into which you entered your email address. Click the "Password" text field, then press Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Command+V (Mac) to enter the app password that you copied earlier. You can also right-click the "Password" text field and then click Paste in the resulting drop-down menu to do this. It's at the bottom of the window. Your Gmail account will begin integrating into your Outlook app. This signifies that your Gmail account is now connected to your Outlook app. You should see your Gmail account's name on the left side of the Outlook window. You may first want to uncheck the "Also set up Outlook on my phone" box.

summary: Open the Outlook app on your computer. Click File. Click Add Account. Enter your Gmail email address. Click Connect. Enter your app password. Click Connect. Click OK when prompted.

A room with a skylight or at least a large window is ideal for your newborn’s room.  A well-lit space will allow your newborn to get used to the night/day cycle, thereby minimizing the length of time it takes your baby to sleep according to a regular schedule. If you walk around the house with your shoes on, start taking them off at the front door.  Swap out synthetic candles containing benzene for beeswax candles.  Introduce some house plants to your home.  Air the house out by opening the windows for about 24 hours (weather permitting). To give your newborn really clean air, buy an air filter for your baby’s room. There are many ways to set up your newborn’s room.  For instance, you and your partner might put the crib and other furniture together, paint the room, and/or hang a mobile. Preparing for a newborn’s arrival often means that you don’t have time to clean the house.  After the newborn arrives, you and your partner often don’t have energy to clean.  If you can afford it, hire someone to clean your house during the month or so prior to the baby’s arrival and for the first three months after their arrival.
summary: Choose a room with windows. Take steps to eliminate indoor air pollution. Help your partner set up the baby's room. Consider hiring a house cleaner.
