How to paper, reflection

    My initial thoughts on this assignment was that I thought we did a good job on the paper and used good techniques. We left out a conclusion but other than that we did the assignment well. My partner and I wanted to come up with something we could write a lot about, we kept on bouncing back in forth between different topics. The first one was how to get out of an awkward situation. We both thought that was too general so we went with how to get out of someone trying to flirt with you. We both thought it was a good idea to do flirting because I am a girl and my partner is a boy so we could get both perspective on the topic of flirting. The main obstacle was getting to a topic we basically spent a whole day trying to narrow down a topic. After that it was no problem getting started. Also making sure we included all the subtitles we wanted and organizing the paper. The easiest part of the assignment was getting started. Right away we both agreed on using definition to start are paper. We used the definition of flirting and then ending it with questions like, " have you ever had one of those times where someone you're not interested in starts flirting with you?" Also " did you know what to do?" This allows the reader to think about these questions while reading our suggestions in the next paragraphs. My partner and I both agree on that we need to make a title and a conclusion. We completely forgot to put the conclusion in. The conclusion should restate the thesis and say if you were to follow our suggestions then it will help you. Also we need to example some of the big words in our introduction like entendres. Entendres means a word, phrase, etc., that can be interpreted in two ways. Lastly adding visuals at the end of each subtitle to enhance the different actions that were exampled in each body paragraph. By making these revisions should really improve our paper. But I really liked how we layed out our paper and exampling it like was a set of instructions.

Intro: Flirting is a common form of social interaction whereby one person

obliquely Indicates a romantic or sexual interest towards another. It can consist of

conversation, body language, or brief physical contact. It may be one-sided or

reciprocated (encouraged) with intentions of getting to know that person on a higher

level. Flirting may involve speaking and behaving in a way that suggests greater intimacy

,than is generally considered appropriate to the relationship or the period that they have

known each other, without actually saying or doing anything that breaches any serious social norms, This may be accomplished by communicating a sense of playfulness or irony. Double entendres, with one meaning more formally appropriate and another more,

suggestive, may be used. Have you ever had one of those times where someone you’re

not interested in starts flirting with you? Did you not know what to do? Was it awkward?

Believe it or not there are solutions for you.

            • Simply move away,

 In order to properly complete this task wait till he or she is not paying attention during the conversation. Then at the perfect moment, make a. break for it! Making a break for it usually consists of disappearing into the crowd, straight up running for it, or slipping into a class room un-noticed.

• Tell them you have somewhere else to be.

            This is a classic excuse used by almost anyone in dire need of a quick and

safe escape. All you have to do is simply make up an excuse. For example,

tell them you have an appointment to get tested for pregnancy. Tell them

you have a class you need to get to.

• Start being obnoxious.

Being obnoxious is one of the oldest tricks in the book and there are many things you can do to annoy the person flirting with you. The objective here is to annoy, or disgust the person! Flirting with you so much that they leave you alone. There are many ways to be obnoxious some ways that works are as follows. Start singing a song, repeat everything someone says as a question, and sneeze, or blow your nose directly into your hand, prior to shaking someone 's hand.

• Walk with a friend

The buddy system is always good to have in getting out of sticky situations. You can always use them as an excuse to leave. They could help you out if you're stuttering and you don't have anything to say.

            • Say you have to go to the bathroom.

Saying you have to go to the bathroom is probably the best excuse to get away. They can't say you're lying because when you have to go, you have to go. Also you can lake as much time as you want to keep them waiting and while you're in there you can think of plans to escape.

• Start doing sign language indicating you are deaf.

             Doing this will either confuse them or give them the realization that you are indeed actually deaf. Then as a result they should just walk away because most people do not know sign language.

            • Be honest and tell them you're not interested.

 Saying this is straight up and mean, but it gets to the point. No matter how much they try to convince you, you can just keep saying "I'm not interested".
