How To Avoid a Guy Who Likes You That Thinks You Like Him

Step

  • Tell him you don't like him. This step may be the only one you need!
  • Pretend that he doesn't exist. If he stares at you, act like you can't see him. In other words, ignore him. Completely.
  • Forbid your friends to give him your personal info. e.g Telephone number, MSN address, email address etc.
  • If he tries to stand next to you, keep moving. Or go to the loo/restroom, where he can't possibly follow you unless he's a stalker.
  • If you want to put him down, pretend your looking at him,this will get him all excited. Then, pretend to spot someone/something behind him. This will make him disappointed as he will think you don't even know he exists, which will mean that he will stop thinking that you like him. This is harsh, only do this if necessary.
  • Stay away from him as much as possible. If you have a class with him, sit far away. If you are forced to be with him for a project or extracurricular activity with a lot of other people, pretend he doesn't exist. If you cannot possibly avoid him,tell him to leave you alone or tell whoever is in charge about your "problem" and ask them to steer him away from you in partner projects, or have them inform him that you aren't comfortable. This is embarrassing, but almost always works.
  • Or, whenever your friends talk about him, make fun of him, just a bit. like saying "remember when John fell and couldn't get up? I think he needs life alert" or "Remember when Danny got the math question wrong? he started crying like a baby! wimp!" He might back off a bit, because this may make him think you are joking with one of your friends who likes him. he'll think he had it all wrong. Unfortunetly, he might fall for one of your friends.
  • If he keeps on flirting with you like hitting you in the head or mess with your hair, then simply turn around and tell him to STOP! He will start to think that you are getting annoyed with him.
  • Smile when he's upset about you not liking him. this has a powerful impact.

Tips


  • Sometimes it can go too far; be sure to tell a parent or adult person if you think he is stalking you.
  • One of the reasons he will think you like him is because you keep glancing at him; you're only peeking at him to make sure he's not staring at you! So you have two options; 1. Accept that he's into you and will probably be staring at you until his eyeballs burn through the back of his skull. 2. Just make sure that he doesn't catch you checking up on him. This can be embarrassing.


Warnings


  • Doing step number four can backfire, you can end up having two guys hot on your tail. Or, you could flirt with 10 boys at the same time!
  • Be sure to tell an adult if it gets too serious. e.g if he's following you everywhere, then he could be a stalker
  • Don't ignore them completely because you don't want to go out with them. That's just plain mean.
  • If your friends know that he likes you and they think that you like him even if you say no, then they might set you up with him. Just say to your friends that you simply don't like the guy and for him to move on.

10 Tips to Prevent Breast Cancer

There is a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in your life, but hopefully with this plan the odds will change. Although there are many drugs on the market and much research is being done, the odds of a woman getting cancer in her lifetime aren't shrinking.

It seems that diet has a lot to do with the handling of this disease and it is something we can definitely control. Diet has be proven to be the most effective way to reduce your risk. There are many other suggestions such as exercise but today we will focus on 10 simple ways you can change your diet and start protecting yourself today.

1. Reduce your Fat - Limit your fat intake by 20 percent of your overall caloric intake. Research has proven that a diet high in fat will increase the risk of breast cancer. High fat diets have also been proven to produce chemicals in the intestine that bacteria convert to carcinogenic estrogens. These estrogens can then be stored in the fatty tissue of the breast, making the cells in the area more susceptible to cancer growth.

2. Choose Crunchy Veggies - Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, turnips and cauliflower. It is best to steam them or eat them raw to best preserve their cancer fighting nutrients. These types of vegetables contain sulfurous compounds called indoles, which have shown to help eliminate estrogen from the body and prevent it from triggering the growth of breast cancer.

3. Increase your Fiber - Get plenty of fiber from foods such as vegetables and fruits, legumes and whole grains. The fiber tends to interrupt the metabolism of estrogen and decreases the blood levels of estrogen. The high levels of blood estrogen in the body are close in relation to higher risk of breast cancer. High fiber diets have been shown to reduce the risk of of breast cancer by up to 54 percent.

4. Try Seaweed- Try eating seaweeds such as kelp and nori or consider taking spirulina (blue algae) and chlorella in a glass of juice daily. High consumptions of kelp may explain the lower incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women. Kelp and chlorella have shown to have anti-carcinogenic effects.

5. Soy Secret - It is smart to eat soy products such as tofu, miso or tempeh. Soybeans and other soy products contain a plant estrogen called genistein. This plant estrogen binds to receptors in the breast, making it impossible for potentially cancer causing forms of estrogen to connect with breast cells.

6. Shop organic - Buy organic foods such as fruits, vegetables, meates, dairy and grains when ever possible. Organic products do not contain pesticides that have been linked to breast cancer. Dairy products and meats that are certified organic do not contain any growth hormones, such as bovine, a chemical usually fed to cows. This chemical has been shown to promote the growth of breast cancer cells.

7. Eat Fish - Eat at least 3 servings of cold water fish a week. Some cold water fish are tuna, salmon, halibute, cod and sardines. If you can't eat fish you can take fish oil capsules or vegetarian supplements. The omega-3 oils inhibit the effects of compounds known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have been associated with inflammation that will suppress the immune systems's ability to identify tumors. A higher consumption of fish and fish oil has been found to reduce the cases of cancer.

8. Choose the right oils - Avoid canola oil, safflower oil, sesame oil and margarine. It is best to use virgin and extra-virgin olive oil when cooking. Flaxseed oil is also very wise to use as long as it is not heated; can be added to foods already cooked. Olive oil, a monounsaturated fat has been linked to lower rates of cancer. Trans fats also called hydrogenated oils mainly found in margarine have been linked with high rates of cancer.

9. Add phytonutrients to your diet - Introduce nuts, legumes, seeds as well as fruits and a variety of vegetables to your diet. These particular foods contain phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are plant compounds that protect against cellular damage and prevent cancer growth. Cooking with herbs such as dill, which contains a phytochemical called limonene, is important for breast protection and rosemary has antioxidant and anti-tumor properties.

10. Mushrooms - Mushrooms have medicinal properties. Some medicinal mushrooms include the Japanese variety of shiitake and maitake. Studies have shown that maitake mushrooms actually stimulate the immune function and prevent tumor growth. The ingredients in maitake mushrooms do not kill the cancer cells directly, it activates the immune system protecting against breast cancer. Shitake mushrooms have also been found to boost the immune system.

Unhealthy Relationship - What sign should you look out for?

What are the signs that tell you you're in an unhealthy relationship and what can you do about them? This article will give you some examples of the kind of situations you need to be aware of and what action you need to take to resolve these issues.

Lack of communication
Warning sign: lack of communication really is the biggest issue of all in any relationship. If one or both you have stopped, or are having a problem in communicating with each other your relationship is in serious trouble. Communication is the number one, the most important element in any successful long-lasting relationship. without being able to discuss your feelings and problems with each other there is absolutely no way you are going to be able to resolve any of the issues either of you have with your relationship.
Fixing a breakdown in communication can be hard, especially if the other person is reluctant to talk about how they feel or just won't try. But one of you has just got to try to get the other to communicate. Because if you cannot solve a communication problem it would be better if you both just walked away and found some other partner that you can communicate with.

Feelings of being taken for granted
Warning sign: one, or both of you have the feeling being taken for granted. One of you is doing all the work to keep the relationship together and the other is doing nothing except taking advantage. Again this is a critical sign of an unhealthy relationship and you need to sit down together and discuss your feelings before it is too late.

Sex
Warning sign: intimate relations have ceased or become very infrequent. The cuddling and holding of each other has stopped. You are no longer making love, or if you are still making love one, or both of you are not enjoying it anymore. Now while it is still possible to have a good relationship without sex, if you are feeling stress in your relationship because of it, you both need to sit down and talk things over.

Fear of loss
Many people remain in an unhealthy relationship even though they know that they should get out. One of the reasons that stops them walking away, other than having children, is the fear of being on their own again. But what these people don't realize is that by staying in the relationship and living in an environment full of negative feelings, they are damaging themselves and the others around them. This damage can also spill over into their working environment and their relationship with their work colleagues and it can even hamper their career prospects.

So if the signs seem to indicate that you are headed for, or are already in an unhealthy relationship, you and your partner/spouse need to take steps to resolve the matter sooner rather than later and remember the key to a healthy relationship is COMMUNICATION.

How To Express Your Love

Wish to make a declaration of love to your beloved? But do not know how to make it? There is a weight of ways: it is possible to tell just «I love you», or «I cannot live without you», or «You are everything for me!». And it is possible to keep silent … But allowing him hearing inexpressible, deeply experienced, sincere and coming from the bottom of your heart.

So, 15 ways of love declaration are offered to you. Alternative ways. They can be useful to you in the offered kind, and maybe they will tell you new ways of expression of feelings, and you will expand the list to 30, 40 or 50. Dare – and do not be afraid of your feelings!

  1. Suggest him to go riding on horses. Finish walk by a picnic on a wood glade. Bring a meal cooked in advance to have a snack.
  2. Smile to him more often and think about your feelings. He will definitely feel it. And for this purpose it is absolutely unessential to wait an occasion!
  3. Take in hire a video film which you once have looked together for the first time. If he chews chips, looking in the TV, try to make it synchronously with him. A meeting of your hands in a package with chips can become fatal for tonight.
  4. While he takes a shower, iron a towel and give it to him behind until it is still warm, when you hear water noise has stopped.
  5. Use fruits on a kitchen to compose three words “I love you” and wait silently, while he sees this work of art. If he does not love fruits or for any you have not them at the moment of your creative impulse, show ingenuity: in any house you can find a few macaroni (imagine a flowery style you can use with them?), a salt pack (of course, only not for superstitious) or sugar packing - that will be even more original!
  6. Look through his clothes and sew come off buttons on his jackets, shirts and trousers. Try to satisfy one condition: do not tell him about it!
  7. Put an ice, filled in the form of heart, in his glass and a candy in the form of heart  into a pocket of his jacket.
  8. Before work put a box with home meal imperceptibly into his portfolio. Just check up, that a box is densely closed, and food is not in liquid condition. Otherwise your small surprise can be misapprehended.
  9. Play with him his favourite game, even if it is called “Sea fight”, and you are guided in the Cartesian system of co-ordinates badly. (If you preferred a game which you understand better than him, do not forget allowing him to win too!)
  10. Turn on music with his favourite songs at home or in a car.
  11. Invite him meeting a dawn together.
  12. Let the freezer of your refrigerator be always hammered by his favourite ice-cream!
  13. Join his morning jog with a plausible smile.
  14. Cook him a dish he loves, but knows well that you hate it.
  15. As a sign of special love make a housework which he got tired to do from year to year: for example, cut a lawn, paste (beat) unstuck wall-paper, clean waste in a kitchen bowl, walk his favourite doggie …


What Is True Love?

    
 Love is an intense feeling that can easily be confused. You've been together for a while now. That euphoric, queasy, pit-of-the-stomach, sign of true love has settled down only slightly and you know this is your one and only love, your heart's desire.

     You can't imagine life without your partner. In fact, you won't ever consider it. The very thought is more than just upsetting; its devastating. The very thought of him or her with anyone else but you sends into frenzy. You feel empty and sick at the thought of not being together. Without your lover, there are no you. This is true love!

   Or is it? If this sound like what you are experiencing, it may be this is a love addiction or not love itself. What's the difference? Simply stated, love exists in an open system; addiction in a closed one. Let's take a look at what that means.

     In a fully loving relationship, mutuality and trust are the themes. Each partner is secure in his and her own sense of worth and believes the other has a right to grow and expand. Each encourages and provide room for that growth.

     This means that while you and your partner share many things, you may very well have separate interests and other friends of both sexes. Neither of you is threatened by the investment in and maintenance of meaningful friendship, realizing that each friendship enriches your love relationship. It also means both of you have th ability to enjoy your own solitary company, that being alone is not about rejecting the lover but a recognition that each is o whole person, not two halves of a whole, with your own unique needs and patterns of living.

     Secure in each other's love, you are able to respect each other's boundaries. Each is trusting and trustworthy. You both work at preserving the others sense of integrity. Most of all, there is a willingness to risk you in the relationship, to be real, to be honest. In short, the hallmark of a loving relationship is the ability to be true to oneself while honoring and respecting the others unique being.

     If this describe your relationship, Congratulations! Nurture and celebrate your love! If, on the other hand, most of the above - or even some of it - doesn't ring true, consider that you may locked into an addictive relationship.

According to past experience and feedback, there is an average drop of 7 pounds each cycle from this program, so you will lose about 14 pounds in a month.

Choosing The Right Diet To Lose Weight

What kind of diet will help me lose weight?

Each individual is different. There is no universal diet that will help every person lose weight.
The idea of "going on a diet" to lose weight implies that eventually, you will "go off" the diet and return to your old eating habits. This could lead to up and down weight loss and gain, which is bad for your health. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to make lifestyle changes that include healthy eating and exercise habits.

Why am I overweight?

There may be many reasons for your weight problem. Weight problems often run in families, or you may be overeating to comfort yourself when you are sad, stressed or lonely. Sometimes a low metabolism (the rate at which you burn the calories you eat) or a problem with hormone levels may be the cause.
A new diet may help you lose weight for a little while, but the weight often comes back unless you find new ways to deal with the problems that are leading to your weight gain. This may mean learning new ways to deal with stress and loneliness.

What kind of diet should I follow?

You should follow a healthy diet that you like and that you can stick to. The diet should be low in fats (especially saturated and trans fats) and sugars, and high in fiber and protein. You can learn more about making healthier food choices here.
Your doctor or a nutritionist can give you advice on what kinds of foods are healthy choices. Remember to watch portion sizes. A healthy portion of meat is about the size of a deck of cards. A healthy portion of rice or pasta is about the size of your fist. Most restaurants tend to double or even triple these amounts, so be careful when dining out.
Read the nutrition labels on food packages before you buy them. If you need help understanding the labels, ask your doctor or a nutritionist to explain them.
Sugar-sweetened drinks, such as fruit juice, fruit drinks, regular soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened or flavored milk and sweetened iced tea can add lots of sugar and calories to your diet. But staying hydrated is important for good health. Substitute water, zero-calorie flavored water, non-fat or reduced-fat milk, unsweetened tea or diet soda for sweetened drinks.

Will it be hard to change my diet?

It might be hard and it may also take time, but try not to get discouraged. Your effort will be worth it! The key is to keep trying to eat the right foods. The following are a few suggestions to help you change your eating habits:
Make small, slow changes, which will be easier to make a part of your everyday life.
Keep a food diary. Use this record to help you see if you need to eat more from any food groups, such as fruits, vegetables or low-fat dairy products.
Ask for help from your family doctor or a nutritionist, especially if you have a medical problem that requires a special diet
