how to talk to girls

Okay, so you want to be cool and smooth around girls. The every guys' dream. Actually, you have big plans on approaching some girls tonight. I won't lie to you though. Most of the time, pick-up lines just don't work, no matter how trivial you think you're going to be. Well, to be brutally honest, pick-up lines spell doom. Girls can detect it, and for some reason, delivering pick-up lines can be a sign that you're desperate that you're delivering these sleazy shots in the hopes of starting a little chat that'll end up in sex.

Now before you start growling about how miserable your dating life is going to be, let me give you a tiny spark of hope. There are actually some clever pick up lines that earned its way to be worth mentioning. Well, most of them we're probably over-used but these lines can actually fascinate a woman into thinking you're really witty and smart and might just be interested enough to answer you beyond a yes or no. Remember, all women are different and they have different responses. But hey, no guts, no glory!

I'm sorry, were you talking to me? Her: No. Well then, please start. Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date? Do you have the time? (she gives you the time) No, the time to write my number down. I'm invisible. (Really?) Can you see me? (Yes) How about tomorrow night? Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living? Hi, can I buy you several drinks? I can sense that you're a terrific lover, and it intimidates me a little. Hi, the voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you. You with those curves, and me with no brakes ... Aw, girl, I'm gonna have to put you on my "To Do" List!

Organized children are typically successful children. Learning organizational skills helps kids develop their focus, concentration and motor skills. Below are four tips on how you can help your child be organized, develop skills and make smooth transitions between activities.

These organization tips may need to be adjusted depending on your toddler's age, abilities and learning style. You can use these tips as a reference guide.

#1 - Create an easy-to-use and maintain bin system for your child's supplies and toys. Separate the types of toys and supplies into individual bins. Take photographs of each type of toy or supply contained within and tape the photograph to the front of each corresponding bin.

For example: Place a photograph of Lego's to your child's bin that contains Lego's. Do the same with markers, plush toys, crayons, and so on. Even if the bins are clear (transparent), it will be easier for your child to be organized if s/he has a visual cue as to where their toys or supplies belong. Choose bins with easy to remove lids or no lids.

#2 - Display your kid's toys, supplies and clothing. It is easier for all toddler age children to stay organized if they can see their belongings. Drawers do not usually work well for young children. If you must use drawers, tape a photograph on the front of each drawer that corresponds to what is kept in the drawer. If possible do not combine items into one drawer, if you must put dividers in the drawers.

Install low hanging hooks that they can reach. One approach to teach and inspire them to use their hooks - Talk with your child about how they are a "big" boy or girl now. Babies throw their coats on the floor when they come into the house but "big" boys and girls hang theirs up, like mom and dad do. Most 2 and 3 year olds think of themselves as "big" and want to do things that "big" people do.

#3 - Set up daily routines and stick to them as much as you can. Creating and following regular daily routines can make transitioning from one activity to another less upsetting for you child. Toddlers tend to thrive on structure.

One helpful organizing routine -- Give your child a 10-minute heads-up before supper each day and then ask them set an egg timer for 10 minutes. Teach them that when the timer goes off, they are to pick up all of their supplies and toys and place them in the appropriate bins.

This daily exercise establishes a routine, lets your child know what to expect, gives them a 10-minute lead-time and then provides them a distinct audio clue when it's time to pick up and get organized. It is important to ask your children to set the egg timer, not you. It gets them more involved in the process and they will be more likely to follow through.

 An addition to this routine -- When the egg timer goes off and it's time to pick up and get organized, you could play a specific song that your child then recognizes as the "pick-up and get organized" song. This can make it fun, playful, soothing and also can help keep them on task and get the work done faster.

#4 Take your child's schedule and make it a picture schedule. Picture schedules work best toddlers and for all kids on the autistic spectrum. Set up the picture schedule so that when your child is finished with the task or activity they can move that corresponding picture to the all done side of their schedule. Basically you are creating an interactive picture schedule that your child can "control". Their picture schedule could also be organized by first, next, last. This gives them a specific order of the tasks and they can move the picture to the "completed" side.

To be help your toddler get and stay organized use visual aids and keep it simple. Each toddler reacts a little differently, has different learning styles and is functioning at varying levels so adjust as needed.
