How to develop interest?

Very good to see that you sincerely want to develop interest in it and have better knowledge.  Geometry at your level fortunately is very visual (since it is mostly 2-d).  The following link has all the Euclid's Elements along with some cool interactive software.  You only need to go through a small part of it..Just play with the software (drag red dots around etc) and develop a feel for geometry first. At first, skip all proofs; just try to understand the statements (postulates, propositions, etc).  That might get you hooked on geometry.  Once you get a good feel for geometry, mensuration falls into place easily.\n\nhttp://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/elements.html\n\nAlso play with some simple ideas: always think of a parallelogram as two triangles joined. Likewise, any polygon as a bunch of triangles.  Visualize a complex object in terms of simpler, more familiar "building blocks".  \n\nPlay string 'games': take a piece of string,  tie the ends together to form a loop.  Lay it flat on a table.  You can take a few match sticks and push out the string with the sticks tight so that the string looks like a straight line between any two sticks. You can make any number of polygons (triangles with 3 sticks, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, etc 4 sticks and so on, all having the same perimeter. Think of maximizing the area inside the string with 3 sticks: what do you notice about the angles, lengths of sides? How about with 4 sticks? And so on. \n\nRemember, develop visual intuition first. But pictures are not proof! So, you have develop the ability to make precise argumens using axioms and previously proved statements as well.  But that can come later.  Understanding and discovering facts is much more important than proofs (do not take this as advice to skip proofs, though). \n\nOne more thing: after having read a proof, sometimes you feel that you followed every step, but yet you don't "get it".  If that is the case, you have not really understood it.  You have to get to a point where a proof is not ten impossible-to-memorize steps each of which you understand.  And with practice, you can!  Think of biking: A robot may need to 'perform many steps' such as holding the bike, lifting the left foot, resting on a pedal...  Perhaps we learn the first time like that; but at some point it becomes so natural that we stop thinking about the individual steps and concentrate on higher goals.  Same thing with math.\n\nYou learn math primarily by doing. Good teachers, books, and software provide an immense boost in the process -- but they are all secondary to your own involvement.\n\nHope that helps and stay with it!

Call your local community college and make an appointment with a guidance counselor.  There are preference tests you can take to narrow down your areas of interest.\n\nAlso, you might consider doing some volunteer work.  A lot of people discover their passions that way.

Show a bit of interest, but don't over-do it. Men want what they can't have. Let him chase you a little. He'll like it. Plus he'll appreciate your affection more if it doesn't come easy.

You need to have an interest that you know a lot of people share. Otherwise, you will be the only member!\n\nOnce you find an interest or activity, advertise in your local community.\n\nYou might start out with small meetings at your home or in a library. As your organization grows, you might start collecting dues to rent or buy a meeeting place.\n\nGood luck!

A good start is to find what you're interested in. Not only topics that you know about- also include things you've always wanted to know about. Whenever you chance upon one of these things on the internet, read about it. For light reading, I also suggest the Bathroom Reader Series. Very light, and the topics are interesting. For heavy reading, try the online resource Wikibooks.\nRead up on news, magazines, etc. If that's too hard, try something on video or audio, little light things. \nRoutines are also good- how about checking up on a word of the day?

You should go to places that favor your interests.  If you like books, a bookstore or library.  Always use warm body language and start with a smile.  Start a conversation about something in the area of the interest.  Do be yourself, so they can get to know the real you and like the real you.  Good luck!

Give them resources to use to create with.  Give them paints, talk to them about there ideas, play imaginary games with charecters they come up with or at least name, give them instraments and music lessons and see if any of these areas spark interest in them.

Start with working on your capitalization. Then study English. Then go and figure out how to be interesting.

Interest is the best motivator. If you like a thing you tend to do it better and enjoy it.

You need to build up the courage and go forward with asking her what are her interest and if one of them are you. Most women wait to be asked? so get the courage and ask her straight forward.

Make it a point to be more interested, genuinely interested in the people around you!  Focus on who they are, what they are saying, with no background noice or thoughts from your head.  Stop worrying about what they think, because as long as they're talking about themselves, they wont be thinking about you!  And once they've invested things about themselves into you, they'll naturally feel closer to you, and like you!  Then, hopefully you will feel comfortable enough to share something relevant as well, otherwise, they we'll feel foolish for opening up to you and withdrawl!  This is how intimacy is formed.  Since you are shy, take the receptive role first, and then the giving role.  Try it!  Remember, Ask and open ended question, such as, "Where are you from?"  ..." oh, how is it there, I've never been?"  keep them talking about themselves until you feel comfortable enough to enterject something about yourself!  Remember to listen to what they are saying, not your self concious voice in your head!! Focus!  Good luck! ;)

A creative opening is the best way to catch interest in any written work. If you catch someone in teh first sentence, you'll have them for the entire report.  AN interesting line from one of teh Characters in teh book or a quote by teh book's author are good ways to go.  You could also try asking a qeustion in the beginning that you answer throughout the report.

You practice them.  If they are important to you, practice them.  Share them with the young.  Get others involved in them.  Write books about them.  Organized large groups of people  (even like your friends) to participate in them.
