We e-mail all our tenants and friends and family that live near the unit that is for rent and let them know about it. If someone refers a good tenant to you, it's a good idea to thank them in some way. Depending on the effort that went into the referral, we may just send a thank you card with a small gift certificate (say $25 for a restaurant or bookstore), or we'll send a nice gift basket that costs somewhere between $50 and $100. If you're near a large facility like a university or hospital, check around and see if they have a housing board. [2013] - Julie Broad

Don’t obsess about counting calories—get your diet right, and your protein appetite will manage the calories for you. Accompany the high-protein foods with lots of vegetables and fruits, beans, and whole grains, which will contain good carbs and fats. That way you will also satisfy your appetites for all three macronutrients at the same time. Try adjusting up and down until you feel in control of your appetites—hungry by mealtimes and satisfied after and between meals. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

After the first few times someone cancels, declines an invitation, or claims to be busy, it's probably best to let it go or to leave it to the other person to make another move. You may want to avoid calling or texting the person or leaving Facebook messages. You might want to resist the urge to try to run into her in places where she hangs out or ask a mutual friend what she's up to. Pursuing someone who's disinterested will probably make you feel worse. [2014] - Shannon Kolakowski
