Problem: Article: . It is better for a girl to like you for the real you. If you pretend to be something your not, the relationship will be short-lived. You can't keep up a false persona forever.  Forget about all the advice in men’s magazines and in the movies you have seen. Act in a way that is the most comfortable for you. Try not to over think your response when engaging in conversation. Of course, it’s important to take your audience into account when formulating a response.  You wouldn’t want to something that may come across as rude or offensive. For example, some of the jokes that you may share with your male friends may not be appropriate to share. It is often obvious when someone is lying, making up stories or exaggerating. Dishonesty will lose her trust. Be honest about your feelings as well. Don't tell her you want to meet her parents or travel together if you don't actually want to take the relationship to the next level. Research suggests that honesty builds trust which leads to better relationships. Chivalry is not dead and respect never goes out of style. Girls want to feel special. There are many simple ways to show you genuinely care about her.  Hold the door for her, offer to carry a heavy bag, or help in a small, unexpected way. Fix something that she hasn’t gotten around to repairing, or doesn’t know how to fix. Ask her questions about her life and things that matter to her. Avoid talking about yourself too much and let her tell you about herself. You want to her to see that you are interested in her as a person. Make eye contact when she speaks to show her you are listening. Ask questions about what she said or respond in ways that show you are actively engaged in the conversation. Pay attention to her physical and verbal cues as well as your own. Texting, reading newspapers, watching television or looking around is rude and makes it look like you are not interested in her or what she is saying. If you notice her doing these things, you're losing her interest. Don’t try to initiate physical contact if it is clear she isn’t ready. Slow and steady wins the race. Find subtle ways to show you are attracted to her first. Compliment her appearance and her personality.
Summary: Be yourself Tell the truth. Be courteous and considerate. Show interest in her personality. Give her your full attention. Be patient.

Problem: Article: One of the aspects of layering that most people find daunting is avoiding outfits that look too bulky. The easiest way to do this is to keep bulky garments on the outside and thin, lightweight ones closer to your skin. If you are working with middle layers, try to include them in this thickness gradient. When your clothes are all the same length, they are prone to looking too puffy. A jacket, sweater, and shirt that are all different lengths will help to avoid this and create a much slimmer style.  This is less important if you are layering very thin material or would like to add bulk to a thinner frame. Traditional or conservative style rules assert that you should layer with your shortest hem on the inside to your longest hem on the outside. For example, an outfit layered this way would be mid-length sweater overtop of a shorter shirt with a longer jacket on top.  Other fashion experts eschew this advice. Instead, they suggest that you simply aim for contrast between items instead of sticking to a set length gradient. One example of this type of layering would be a long untucked shirt underneath a shorter sweater topped off with an even longer coat. Another would be a short jacket overtop a maxi dress. Using different volumes is another way you can avoid a bulky outfit, even while wearing some thick or loose items. A billowing blouse will look great over skinny jeans, while a tight top will complement a ruffled skirt. Likewise, a tight jacket can look good overtop a flowy dress, while a large bulky coat will pop over a short skinny one.
Summary: Wear inner and base layers that hug the skin. Pick items that are varying lengths. Balance loose and baggy cuts.

Problem: Article: When shopping for skincare products, look for facial moisturizers that contain collagen peptides. Collagen is a part of your skin that helps it remain moisturized and elastic. Over time, the collagen in facial skin breaks down, contributing to both sagging and wrinkles. Using a collagen cream may help replenish your skin’s natural collagen, making your skin appear tighter and more moisturized. Not all collagen creams contain the same added ingredients or percentage of collagen. When using a collagen cream, read the label carefully to see how often the cream should be applied. Vitamin C serums contain concentrated doses of vitamin C that can tighten skin, reduce sun and age spots, reduce redness, and boost the production of collagen. Unlike drinking vitamin C (which is also healthy!), serums allow your skin direct contact with the vitamin so that the benefits are absorbed right into your skin.  Vitamin C serums are safe for most skin types, so this is a great option if you have any allergies or skin sensitivities.  Serums often include other skin-tightening ingredients, including retinols, hyaluronic acid, and collagen peptides.  Most vitamin C serums are safe to use 1 to 2 times per day. However, always check the label on your vitamin C serum to see how often it is safe to use. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-produced molecule that binds water to the collagen in your facial skin. Like collagen, hyaluronic acid breaks down over time, leaving your skin vulnerable to dehydration and sagging. Applying a hyaluronic acid moisturizer daily can help re-hydrate your skin, making it appear tighter and healthier. Hyaluronic acid is generally considered a great option for all skin types and does not usually trigger allergic reactions, break outs, or rosacea. Thus, it can usually be added to your daily skincare routine. These products work through exfoliation, meaning they cause shedding of the surface skin. Be aware that using creams with glycolic or lactic acid can increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV. If you start noticing that your skin is getting redder in the sun than before you started using this cream, stop using it and try a different treatment. Check the ingredients before you buy, because the concentration of acid should be 10 percent or less to be safe. Retinol is one of the most popular skin-tightening ingredients and can be found at almost any pharmacy, drug store, or skincare retailer. Retinol creams have been shown to help reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and make skin damage less visible.  While retinol can be the most effective skin-tightening ingredient for some, it comes with a long list of potential side effects, including dryness, irritation, sensitivity to sunlight, redness, swelling, and blistering. Because retinols can cause irritation, it is generally recommended that you use them only 2 to 4 times per week. If you experience any side effects, decrease your usage to 1 time per week. Contact your doctor if the side effects persist or are extreme.  Retinol may also help reduce acne outbreaks.
Summary:
Use a collagen cream to keep skin supple. Try a vitamin C serum to brighten and tighten your skin. Apply a hyaluronic acid serum or cream for hydrated, plump skin. Use a cream or serum with glycolic or lactic acid to tighten skin. Use retinol to reduce the wrinkles on your face.
