If he does invite you out but you made plans, keep what you already scheduled. He’ll realize to give you some advance notice if he wants to hang out. Set your RSVPs public on social media. One day, he could run across them and learn about events you like to attend. In the future, he might just pop up or invite you to an activity you seem interested in. Take a while to respond to his texts and tell him you’ve been to the gym or out for a run....

This is especially true if he only ever texts you things like, “You up?” Keep in mind that everyone takes relationships at their own pace. If your boyfriend hasn’t introduced you to anyone in his life yet, feel free to ask him why. He might just feel nervous or anxious about getting more serious with you. He might also try to steer every conversation toward something sexual, or only talk about how hot/sexy you look today, or how an outfit looks on you....

You can still influence him as long as you’re subtle. Introduce your idea and let him come to his own conclusion about it. Works every time! Flirting with other guys to make a Taurus jealous is a very bad idea. He’ll become angry and possessive immediately. Compliments go a long way with Tauruses and can help boost their self-esteem. For example, you might say something like, “You’re hands down the hottest guy in this restaurant....

“Thanks for saying that. ” “I appreciate the kind words. ” “Aw thank you!” “You just made my Monday a whole lot better. ” “You have no idea how much I needed to hear that after this week. ” “I’m so happy to hear you say that. ” “I could say the same about you. ” “I was going to say the same—you beat me to it!” “And you’re beautiful. ”...

So, does that mean that if you’re serving food that doesn’t require any utensils, you shouldn’t bother setting any out? You might go that route, but you might also see it as a common courtesy to set out a knife and fork just in case. Setting out unnecessary silverware just confuses your guests—they’ll have no idea what to use that little fork for! There’s really only one time you’ll want to set a fork to the right of the plate: if you’re serving a meal that requires the use of an oyster fork....

Try looking out for potential “callbacks” in conversation. This refers to picking something from earlier in the convo and mentioning it again in a silly way. Or, focus on being unexpected. Humor usually comes from taking your audience by surprise. You can’t go wrong by relying on personal stories that have a track record of getting a laugh. If every time you tell the story about falling at your high school graduation it’s met with giggles, definitely use that with her....

UserSearch: This lets you search for a username on dating sites, letting you know if one has been found. The results are free, and they don’t need you to register. Cheatbuster: This only works for Tinder, but it’s supposedly got a 98% accuracy rating. Spokeo: This will pull up any social media sites associated with an email or name, but it can be tough to sift through the data if the person has a super common name, like John Williams....

Greg Golba, the father of the fifth grader who was sent home, was shocked about the school’s decision, and noted that his son had been wearing it for weeks. “There is nothing offensive or derogatory about this mask,” he said via WFLA. Both Greg and Ian could not understand why the school ruled the mask inappropriate for school. “I don’t think it’s offensive at all, it’s just a restaurant,” he added....

The franchise took nearly a century getting over the infamous “Black Sox” scandal of throwing the Series and having eight of its players permanently banned from baseball. But long and true on the city’s south side, there remained Sox faithfuls for decades upon decades. Even going into the 21st century there had not been a White Sox world champion since the 1917 squad. However, many of the fans never wavered....

Creating a workplace that truly caters to the development of employees requires that leaders put in both time and hard work, and the potential results alone make these efforts worthwhile. To help, the members of Newsweek Expert Forum each share one practical way managers can ensure junior employees are receiving adequate training and support to fuel their professional growth. 1. Begin During the Onboarding Process All of our employees are remote, so we have implemented a very solid onboarding plan that includes one-on-one training and regular face time with the hiring manager....

While you may have some in-the-moment thoughts, it is not uncommon for people with newly-diagnosed dementia to develop questions about the condition only after they have gone home and started processing the information. To help you along, here’s a list of questions you may want to bring with you to your next healthcare provider’s visit to ensure you get all the information you need. How Did You Arrive at This Diagnosis?...

Am I really ready to have sex, or am I feeling pressured by my partner / friends? Do I feel comfortable having sex with my partner? Could I have any regrets afterwards? Have we talked about using protection during sex? Do I feel comfortable saying no at any point? Don’t be afraid to giggle or laugh during sex (as long as you aren’t laughing at your partner). Letting out a little chuckle can really help lighten the mood and keep things fun instead of serious....

For example, you might be in a dressing room trying on clothes when you think, “I’m too fat to fit into any of these things. I shouldn’t even be trying on clothes. " How does this make you feel? Hurt? Angry? Sad? You may see someone jogging and think, “There’s no way I could be as fit as that person. " This kind of thinking may make you feel depressed or annoyed....

You’ll know that he’s feeling closer to you when he starts to confide in you beyond his usual jokes and clever comments. He might also seem anxious or tongue-tied in your presence—which is unusual for a chatty Gemini. Rather than saying exactly where you grew up, say, “I’m from a little town in the south. What about you?” When you’re texting a Gemini, leave him on a (positive) cliffhanger from time to time....

How do drivers make the Chase? The 15 drivers with the most wins over the first 26 races get a spot in the Chase as long as they finish in the top 30 in points and attempt to qualify for every race. The 16th Chase spot goes to the series points leader at the end of the regular season. What if there are more than 16 winners (or 16 winners and a regular-season champ with no wins)?...

“You always know just what to say to make me feel better 😊” “I bet you’re looking really handsome today 😘 just like every day!” “Have I told you how amazing you are lately? Because you’re the most amazing guy I’ve met!” “Thank you so much for the text last night ❤️ it meant the world reading it this morning!” “I really appreciated you coming over today. It was so nice seeing you again 🥰” “Thank you for being so supportive of my dreams!...

“It was relaxing. Thanks for asking!” “My weekend was pretty good, thanks!” “I was planning on going for a long bike ride, but the heatwave got me! How about you?” “We got snowed in this weekend! Were you able to get out of town?” “I took the weekend to unwind. Looking forward to hitting the ground running this week. ” “I had a pretty chill weekend. I feel refreshed and re-energized!...

Too often, we wait to talk instead of really listening to other people’s ideas. Even if you think you disagree, try to consider the point of view and empathize with it before responding. You could say something like, “I can tell you’ve worked super hard over the past 2 years to get your business off the ground. ” Or, “What you just said was really cool. I can tell you’ve thought a lot about this topic....

Ask yourself, “How would I act if I didn’t have to worry about being judged?” Do I trust this friend? Can I be myself around my friend? After we hang out, how do I feel? Do I feel good about myself or do I feel worse? Encourage them to keep talking: “Tell me more about that!” or “And then what happened?” “I really want to see you that weekend, but my schedule’s kind of packed....

“Do you really think it’s safe to drive fast in this weather just to say you got there first?” “Does it seem fair to you that you’re doing less work than me but we’re getting equal credit?” “Are you asking me to help you, or are you telling me?” Keep eye contact while they talk to you. It shows you’re listening but also makes you appear confident and strong. Try not to cut them off while they’re talking....
