| How to Tell if a Girl Wants to Hold Hands Posted: 28 Oct 2021 05:00 PM PDT Holding hands with a girl is a great way to show that you like her and you're having a good time. Making the move to grab her hand for the first time can be a little nerve wracking, especially if you aren't quite sure she wants to hold your hand. We've compiled a list of signs you can look out for to tell whether or not the girl you're with wants to hold hands so you know exactly what to do the next time you two hang out. [Edit]She puts her hand close to yours. - Maybe you two are sitting down and she rests her hand near yours. If it's almost touching (but not quite), that's a pretty good sign that she wants you to grab her hand.[1] You can test the waters by gently nudging or touching her hand with yours—if she doesn't move her hand away, she probably wants you to hold it.[2]
- She might also place her hand next to yours if you two are sitting at a table or on a bench.
[Edit]She brushes her hand against yours. - If you feel her hand brush yours, she probably wants you to grab it. Maybe you two are walking around and she keeps stepping in closer so she touches your hand. If that's the case, you can reach out and grasp her hand in yours to see how she feels.[3] If she truly wants to hold your hand, then she'll be happy you made the first move.[4]
- If you aren't quite sure, try brushing your hand against hers. If she doesn't pull away, she probably wants to hold hands.
[Edit]She touches you on the arm or the shoulder. - Breaking the touch barrier is a very good sign. If you two are chatting and she keeps patting you on the shoulder or touching your arm, it means she's okay with physical affection. Later on, you can try taking her hand or patting her on the arm to reciprocate the physical touch.[5]
- Breaking the touch barrier is also a big sign that she's flirting with you, so it's good news all around![6]
[Edit]She holds onto your arm. - A girl might grab your arm to hold onto while you're walking. Since this is pretty close to holding your hand already, she's probably okay with grabbing hands in just a bit. If you'd like to hold her hand, simply slide her hand down into yours and grasp it as you keep walking.[7]
- This is another way of breaking the touch barrier, but it's a little more of a bold move.
[Edit]She doesn't flinch when you brush your hand against hers. - Even if it was an accident, she probably won't take her hand away. If you two are walking around and you accidentally touch hands, she'll probably step in even closer. Or, if you two are sitting and chatting and you accidentally rest your hand on hers, she'll probably smile or even blush.[8]
- If she quickly moves her hand away after you touch it, it might mean she's not ready to hold hands yet, which is fine. Just give her some time.[9]
[Edit]She lingers during a high-five. - She might be testing the waters to see if you want to hold hands. If you two are celebrating something and you go in for a high-five, she might hang onto your hand for a few more seconds than is necessary. After that, you know that she might want to hold hands at some point.[10]
- If she's really bold, she might even just hang onto your hand after a high-five so you two are holding hands now.
[Edit]She leads you somewhere by the hand. - This is an indirect way of holding your hand. If a girl grabs you and pulls you along to show you something really cool, it means she wants to hold hands with you. Whenever you get to your destination, simply keep holding her hand to show her that you like her.[11]
- She might say something like, "Whoa, did you see that? Let me show you!" before she grabs your hand.
[Edit]She flirts with you. - Flirting is a good sign that she's okay with holding hands later. When a girl flirts with you, she might give you compliments, laugh a little too hard at your jokes, or make a lot of eye contact with you.[12] She'll probably also lean in close or step in a little further than is usually comfortable for most people.[13]
- Flirting isn't a surefire sign that someone wants to hold hands yet, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
[Edit]She smiles at you a lot. - She might make eye contact and hold your gaze, too. When a girl smiles at you, it means she's having fun hanging out with you. While it's not a surefire sign that she wants to hold your hand, it's definitely a sign that she likes you or she's developing feelings for you.[14]
- She might even catch your gaze from across the room or give you a sideways glance and a smile.
[Edit]She talks in a sing-song voice. - A wavering voice usually means someone is into you. While she might not even realize she's doing it, women who are interested in you will often talk in a more sing-song nature. If you notice her voice going up and down during the conversation, she's probably open to holding hands with you.[15]
- The opposite is true for men: if a man is interested in you, his voice will drop down lower.
[Edit]She mirrors your body language. - If you lean in, she might lean in, too. If you cross your legs, she'll probably cross hers, too. People do this unconsciously when they're interested in someone, because our brains tell us it will make them like us more. If you notice that every move you make is being repeated by her, there's a good chance she wants to hold your hand later.[16]
- She might also mirror your posture or try to walk in time with your steps.
- If you aren't sure she wants to hold your hand, you can just ask. Say something like, "Can I hold your hand?"

| How to Remotely Control Your iPhone from Your Computer Posted: 28 Oct 2021 09:00 AM PDT This wikiHow article will teach you how to remotely control your iPhone from your computer. If you're using a Mac computer, you can use Switch Control to do this natively. Modern Dells (from 2018 or later) can also control iPhones within an app called Dell's Mobile Connect 3.3. However, other computer manufacturers are still working on creating apps that can connect Apple and Microsoft environments. [Edit]Using Switch Control on a Mac - Connect your iPhone and Mac to the same Wi-Fi network. If they aren't on the same network, Switch Control won't work.
- In your iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi and tap to select the network you want to connect to.
- On Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon in your menu bar, then click to select the network you're connected to on your iPhone.
- Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on your iPhone and Mac. Similar to the need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, your iPhone and Mac need to be signed into the same iCloud account to use Switch Control.
- In your iPhone, open the Settings app and tap "Sign in to your iPhone" or the name at the top of the menu. You'll either be able to sign in or view which iCloud account you're using.
- On Mac, click the Apple logo, then select System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud. If you're not signed into an account, you'll see a blank space for you to log in; however, if you're already signed in, you'll see the email address associated with your iCloud account. Make sure your iPhone and Mac are signed into the same account.
- Enable Switch Control on your Mac. You'll need to enable this to be able to control your iPhone from your Mac.
- Click the Apple logo and select System Preferences > Accessibility > Switch Control. Navigate to the General tab and select "Enable Switch Control."[1]
- Once you enable Switch Control, you'll need to enter your password.
- Navigate the Switch Control panel to . It's the icon that looks like a monitor and smartphone.
- Select your iPhone from the list. Once you select your phone, you'll be able to see your phone screen from your Mac.
- To stop controlling your iPhone from your Mac, navigate again to the Devices button and click Disconnect. The active connection between your phone and computer will be disabled, but Switch Control will still be enabled on your Mac. If you want to completely disable Switch Control, click the Apple logo again and select System Preferences > Accessibility > Switch Control.[2]
- You can view your iPhone's screen from your Mac, so you can play some games, look through your photos, and craft emails and text messages!
[Edit]Using Dell's Mobile Connect app - Get Dell's Mobile Connect app for your Dell and iPhone. Most Dells should have this app already installed, but make sure it is up to date. You can't download this app if you don't have a Dell laptop.
- Get the iOS app from the App Store or make sure you have the up-to-date version 3 of Dell's Mobile Connect app. If you don't have the latest version of the app, this method won't work.
- Launch the app on your Dell and iPhone. If you're already in the Microsoft Store or the App Store, you can click or tap Launch or Open. Otherwise, the app icon is on one of your Home screens (iPhone) or in your Start menu (Dell).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Dell and iPhone. You may need to make sure both your computer and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as well as enter codes to ensure both devices are secure.
- To disconnect, close the app on either your computer or your phone.[3]
- You can view and reply to your text messages or play some games from your computer once your phone is connected!

| How to Play Odds and Evens Posted: 28 Oct 2021 01:00 AM PDT Odds and Evens, also known as Morra, is a simple 2-player game that dates back to the Roman Empire.[1] It's a great activity to pass the time on a long car ride or rainy day. Since Odds and Even is based entirely on luck, anyone with basic math skills can join in on the fun. Invite a friend or family member and see if the "odds" are in your favor! [Edit]Reviewing the Rules - Announce to your opponent that you want to represent "odds" or "evens." Talk with the other player and pick a "side" to represent. This process is very similar to "heads" or "tails." There is no advantage to either of them, so you can just pick what you want.[2]
- There isn't a "youngest picks first" rule to this game. Just try to agree on who will represent each side!
- For example, if you decide you are "evens," your opponent has to be "odds."
- Choose a number of rounds to play. Odds and Evens is a point-based game, so you need to decide a game format ahead of time. Be sure to agree on a total number of rounds so you can accurately keep track of how many points each player has.[3]
- For instance, if you'd like to play a longer game, have the game be 20 rounds. A shorter game might be 3-5 rounds.
- It may help to use a piece of scrap paper to keep track of each round.
- Count to 3 with the other player while keeping your hands hidden. There's no game timer in Odds and Evens, so you and the other player have to keep the game going. As you count, pick a number of fingers between 1 and 5 to hold out in your hand, which you can display after counting to 3. Make sure your hands are hidden so your opponent can't see what number you're holding up.[4]
- You don't have to yell out a guess while playing Odds and Evens, but this can add a fun dimension to the game.
- Hold up a random number of fingers on 1 hand. Reveal your hand to show how many fingers you're holding up. You can't change your number after counting to 3 and yelling a guess, so be really certain before holding out your hand.[5]
- Count the total number of fingers for each player to determine the winner. Count the number of fingers both you and your opponent are holding out. If the total number is odd, then the player representing "odds" wins a point for the round. If the number is "even," then the "evens" player wins.[6]
- For instance, if you hold out 4 fingers and the other player holds out 3 fingers, the total would be 7. In this case, the winner of the round would be the "odds" player.
- Don't be discouraged if you don't win the round—there's plenty of time to catch up!
[Edit]Scoring the Game - Award 1 point to the winner of each round. Use a score sheet to keep track of the overall winner for each round. Mark down 2 columns for both players, then write down the score for the round.[7]
- Give 1 point to whoever guesses the correct number. If you're playing while yelling out the guess, add 1 point to the player's score who accurately guesses the sum. If both players guess to correct number, then they both get a bonus point.[8]
- Players have to yell the exact sum to get the bonus point. For instance, if the total sum was 9 and a player guessed 8, then they wouldn't get the point.
- Don't worry about this if you're playing a simple version of the game that doesn't involve verbal guessing.
- Declare a winner after you've gone through the rounds. Tally up the total number of points in each column, depending on the scoring method that you used. Double-check the results, then announce if the "odds" or "evens" player won the game![9]
- If you're yelling out a guess for the round, you'll probably have more luck if you shout out a higher number.[10]
- The "odds" player usually has a better chance of winning, since "2" and "10" aren't likely to show up in a round.[11]

Unlike traditional texting, Snapchat offers plenty of seamless, creative ways to chat with the guy you like, along with a host of other fun features. Read on for a few Snaptastic ways to get the ball rolling! [Edit]Reply to his Snapchat Story. - This is a super-easy way to get the ball rolling.[1] DMing your crush out of the blue can be super scary, especially if you don't know him well. Thankfully, Snapchat Stories give you an easy in! Simply open up your Stories page and tap on the circle above his username to view his Story. Then, swipe up from the bottom of your screen to reply to a specific picture.[2] You might say:
- "Dang, it must be brutal to work this late."
- "Haha, isn't it 3 AM where you are? I'm surprised you're still awake!"
- "I'm so jealous of all these beach pics. Keep them coming!"
[Edit]Post something to your Story that'll grab his attention. - Updating your Story lets him make the first move. Maybe you're both in the same math class, or you both play the same video game. Whatever that common link is, make a post about it on your story! With any luck, he'll notice your post and shoot a DM in your direction. Here are a few ideas:[3]
- If you're crushing hard on a classmate, you could post a pic of a homework problem that you're struggling with or a bored-while-studying selfie.
- If you met your crush through an online community, you might post something that's related to that mutual hobby, whether it's sports, video games, or a specific book/movie franchise.
- If you don't know your crush at all, you could play it safe with a picture of a cute animal.
[Edit]Forward him a Story from another brand or company. - A lot of third-party brands and newsgroups create fun, short, and intriguing Snapchat Stories. You can find them on your Stories page—simply scroll through until you find something that your crush would really like. Then, just press and hold your screen to open up a mini-menu, which should offer the "Share Snap" option. Simply tap this button to share the Story privately to your crush![4]
- If your crush is a big foodie, you might send him a video of some kitchen hacks.
- If he's a fan of a certain celebrity, you could send him a special news byte.
[Edit]Send over a meme. - A good meme is worth a thousand laughs. Send him an academic meme to strike up a conversation about studying woes, or pick out a remixed cartoon meme to break out the laughs.[5] Once you've settled on a good meme, open up the chat box between you and your crush. Then, tap on the icon of 2 rectangles, which should give you the option to upload your desired picture.[6]
- Take a look at what's trending if you can't think of something to send! The meme world is constantly changing and evolving.
[Edit]Skip the small talk and get straight to the competition. - Snapchat has a wide arsenal of minigames to choose from. Open up the chat screen and tap on your crush's name. From there, tap on the rocket icon to pull up a list of games you can play together. Pick out a game that you think he'd like, such as:[7]
- Animal Restaurant
- Color Galaxy
- Word Blitz
- Hole.io
[Edit]Change up your usual "hi" or "hello" with a friendly Bitmoji. - A Bitmoji is a pint-sized, cartoon version of you that you can send just like a traditional emoji.[8] Download the Bitmoji app so you can set up and sync your avatar with Snapchat. Then, start a new chat with your crush and browse through all the hilarious Bitmoji sticker greetings at your fingertips.[9]
- The sky's the limit when it comes to Bitmoji stickers! You can send everything from fun greetings and "I love yous" to the latest and greatest internet slang.
- For a super playful touch, pick out a Bitmoji sticker that features both of your avatars.
[Edit]Include a link in your Snap. - Invite him on a web-surfing adventure he'll never forget. Take a regular picture or video Snap first. Then, scan the menu along the right-hand side of your screen for a paperclip icon. Simply copy and paste your desired link into the "Type a URL" box, and presto! Your Snap is ready to go.[10]
- If he's a huge sports nut, you could send him a news article about his favorite team.
- If he's really into video games, you might send him a link about a new PlayStation game that's coming out.
[Edit]Make a playful statement with a Snapchat Cameo. - Snapchat Cameos transform a simple selfie into hilarious stickers. If you aren't totally sure how to break the ice with your crush, let your Cameo do the talking instead! A silly sticker featuring the 2 of you as dancing bananas or penguins is sure to get the conversation going.[11]
- Dancing chickens, dancing lemons, and dancing stick figures are just a few of the chaotically hilarious Cameos you can choose from.
[Edit]Snap an adorable selfie with a funny lens. - A creative Snapsterpiece is sure to make him smile. Snapchat lenses take your Snaps to a whole new level by changing your appearance or even transforming your screen into a crazy AR experience. Just tap the smiley face icon next to the shutter button to bring up a ton of different lenses.[12]
- If you'd like even more options, tap the "explore" button on the bottom-right corner of your phone screen.
[Edit]Set up a group chat. - Ditch the awkward one-on-one with the help of your mutual friends. We totally get it—talking to the guy you like can be super daunting, especially if you don't know him that well. Instead of shooting him a random DM, just make a group chat instead! Simply pull up your "Friends" page and hit the chat icon at the top of the page. Tap on the friends you'd like to chat with (including your crush!) so you can hit the ground running.[13]
- This option works best if you have some friends in common. If you add him to a chat with a bunch of people he doesn't know, he might feel a little weirded out.
[Edit]Wow him with your pun-derful Snapchat skills. - Punny messages break the ice in a way that "hi" and "how are you" just can't. With a silly, clever caption, you can turn a grape, pineapple, sushi roll, ceiling fan, or even a light switch into an unforgettable message! Then, send your Snapsterpiece to him and him alone. Here are a few picture and caption ideas to get you started:[14]
- Bowl of Grapes: I had a grape time hanging out with you yesterday!
- Pineapple: Of all the fruits out there, you'd be 'fineapple'.
- Ceiling Fan: Good luck on your math test tomorrow! Your biggest fan is rooting for you.
- Sushi Roll: I can't wait sushi you on Saturday!
- Light Switch: Do you feel turned on right now?
[Edit]Slide into his DMs. - DMs are a great option once you feel comfortable enough chatting one-on-one. Pull up the chat screen, which is left of the camera. Then, hit the chat icon along the top of the screen, search for your crush's username, and tap on their name to start up the conversation![15] Feel free to talk about whatever strikes your fancy, from aliens and ghosts to astrology and love languages.[16] If you run out of ideas, you can always ask him about his favorite movie, book, color, or animal![17] To keep your chat going, feel free to ask open-ended questions, like:[18]
- "What do you think about that basketball game last night?"
- "What are your thoughts about the new character they added to the game?"
- "How do you get through math class without falling asleep?"
- "What are your plans for the weekend?"
[Edit]Start up a voice or video call. - There's no replacement for some one-on-one time with the guy of your dreams! If you're feeling ready to take things to the next level, send him a casual chat message like, "Up for a call?" or "Down for a video chat?" Then, tap the phone or video camera icon to get things going.[19]
- As a playful competition, challenge him to keep your Snapstreak going for as long as possible![20]

| How to Make Candy Corn Jello Shots Posted: 27 Oct 2021 09:00 AM PDT Dress up your jello shots for Halloween by turning them into your favorite spooky sweet: candy corn! With layers of white, orange, and yellow gelatin, candy corn jello shots mimic the look of the traditional fall candy. Use vanilla vodka to spike the jello for an adult twist or make them alcohol-free so kids can enjoy them, too. [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Classic Candy Corn Jello Shots - 1 box of lemon-flavored gelatin
- 1 box of orange-flavored gelatin
- 3 packets of unflavored gelatin
- of water
- of vanilla vodka
- of sweetened condensed milk
Makes 20 shots [Edit]Virgin Jello Shots - 1 box of lemon-flavored gelatin
- 1 box of orange-flavored gelatin
- 2 packets of unflavored gelatin
- 1 small bottle of vanilla extract
- of boiling water
- Whipped topping
- Sprinkles (optional)
Makes 10 to 12 shots [Edit]Making Classic Candy Corn Jello Shots - Heat the water, sweetened condensed milk, and unflavored gelatin. Combine of water, of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin in a small saucepan and put it on the stove. Turn the burner to medium heat to warm the mixture.[1]
- The water doesn't need to reach a boiling point. As long as it's steaming, the water will be hot enough to dissolve the gelatin.
- 1 packet of gelatin is the equivalent of about of gelatin.
- Stir until the gelatin dissolves, then remove the pan from the heat. It should take about 5 minutes. Once all of the powder is completely dissolved, take the pan off the stove and set it on a hot pad or trivet on the counter.[2]
- To prevent the powder from burning or sticking on the bottom of the pan, stir continuously while the pan is over heat.
- Mix of vodka into the saucepan while it's warm. Make sure the liquid in the saucepan is not so hot that you can't touch it. If it's too hot, the alcohol will cook out when you pour it in.[3]
- If necessary, let the mixture cool for a few minutes before you stir in the vodka.
- Pour the mixture into the shot glasses, filling each 1/3 of the way. This will create your white layer at the bottom of the candy corn. Use a funnel or measuring cup to divvy up the liquid.[4]
- Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes. You want them to harden a little before adding the next layer. They should be firm when you remove them from the fridge.[5]
- It's better to leave the shots in the fridge for longer than to remove them too soon. If you aren't sure the shots are set, wait an extra 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mix the orange gelatin, 1 packet of unflavored gelatin, and water. Measure out of boiling water and pour it into a small mixing bowl along with the box of orange-flavored gelatin and the unflavored gelatin. Stir until all of the gelatin is dissolved into the water.[6]
- Heat the water on the stove to bring it to a boil before mixing it in or use the microwave to heat it.
- If you use the stove to heat the water, you can combine the gelatin with the water all at once. However, since there's no milk that needs to be heated, this isn't necessary.
- Add of vodka to the mixture. Use a spoon or whisk to carefully stir the vodka into the orange liquid. Make sure it's thoroughly combined.[7]
- Increase the amount of vodka you add in for stronger shots.
- If you substituted a different alcohol for vodka, use that here.
- Pour the mixture into the glasses, filling each one 2/3 of the way. This will go directly on top of the white layer that's already in the bottom. The white layer should be set enough that the 2 layers won't mix.[8]
- Leave enough room at the top of each glass for the final yellow layer.
- Return the shot glasses to the refrigerator for another 30 to 40 minutes. Again, you want the orange layer to be jiggly and firm before you pour on the final layer. The jello could set in less than 30 minutes if your fridge is super cold.[9]
- Set the kitchen timer or use the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time.
- Repeat the same mixing process with the lemon-flavored gelatin. Combine the box of lemon gelatin, 1 packet of unflavored gelatin, and of boiling water in a bowl, mixing until the gelatin is dissolved. Then stir in the last of vodka.[10]
- Save time by doing this step about 5 to 10 minutes before removing the orange layer from the fridge.
- Fill the remaining 1/3 of each shot glass with the lemon mixture. This forms the yellow layer that's the bottom of the candy corn. To avoid spills when you're moving the glasses to the fridge, don't fill the glasses all the way to the rim so the liquid doesn't slosh over the top.[11]
- Set the shot glasses on a plate or baking sheet to catch any accidental spills.
- Place the shot glasses back in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes. Let the final layer set before you enjoy your jello shots. If you aren't eating them right away, keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them.
- Top each shot with 1 to 2 pieces of actual candy corn for an extra sweet touch.
- Refrigerated jello shots will last 7 to 10 days.
[Edit]Preparing Virgin Jello Shots - Combine the box of lemon gelatin with 1 packet of unflavored gelatin. Pour both gelatin powders into a small bowl. Use a spoon to mix them together.[12]
- If you're using a bulk container of unflavored gelatin, 1 packet is equal to about of gelatin.
- Stir of boiling water into the gelatin mix. Carefully pour the water into the bowl with the gelatin powders. Stir the ingredients together with a spoon until the powder is completely dissolved. It will take about 2 minutes.[13]
- Lukewarm water will not work. You need hot water that will dissolve the powder. Anything cooler will just cause the powder to clump up.
- You can either bring the water to a boil on the stove or heat it in the microwave.
- Fill each of the shot glasses halfway with the gelatin mixture. Use a funnel or a measuring cup to pour the liquid into each shot glass. Leave room in the glass for the second layer.[14]
- A tablespoon or eyedropper can also help you get the liquid into the shot glasses without a mess.
- Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This will allow the lemon gelatin to harden before you add the orange layer. After 20 minutes, the gelatin should be firm and jiggly to the touch.[15]
- If you don't let the lemon layer set properly, the 2 layers will mix together instead of sitting separately on top of each other.
- Combine the orange gelatin, unflavored gelatin, and boiling water. Now you're making the orange layer. Mix the box of orange-flavored gelatin, the other packet of unflavored gelatin, and of boiling water in a small bowl. Stir until the powder is dissolved.[16]
- Use a new bowl or simply rinse out the one you had used for the lemon layer.
- Do this step while the lemon gelatin is setting in the refrigerator to save time. Wait to mix it until 5 to 10 minutes before it's time to remove the lemon gelatin, though, so it doesn't start setting.
- Pour the orange mixture on top of the lemon layer in each shot glass. Now that the lemon layer has set in the fridge, you can add the orange layer. With a measuring cup or funnel, fill the remaining half of each shot glass with the orange gelatin mixture.[17]
- Test 1 shot glass before pouring it into all of them. If the layers begin mixing, you know you need to let the first layer harden a little more first.
- Place the filled shot glasses back in the fridge for another 20 minutes. This allows the orange layer to set just like the lemon layer did. If you aren't planning to eat the shots immediately, keep them in the fridge until serving.[18]
- There's no harm in leaving the shots in the fridge for longer than 20 to 30 minutes to set. It's better to have them firmer than too runny.
- You can keep jello shots in the fridge for 7 to 10 days.
- Add whipped topping and some sprinkles before serving if you'd like. For a little festive flair, spoon a dollop of whipped topping onto the shot glasses to mimic the white layer of a candy corn. Toss on some orange and white sprinkles, too.[19]
- Wait until you're ready to eat the shots before you add the final touches. Otherwise, the whipped topping will melt or fall flat.
