Cut a healthy-looking lateral stem—not the main (terminal) stem—from the plant. Make the cut at a 45-degree angle and remove any leaves or stems from the bottom 1/2 of the cutting. Stick the bottom 1/3 of the cutting straight down into a pot containing a moist growing medium. Standard potting soil will work, but many growers prefer rockwool (fibrous cubes) or rooting plugs (also called “peat pellets”). Cover the pot and cutting with plastic or glass and keep it in a warm location that gets partial but not direct light....

Once you two really know each other and feel completely at ease, you can suggest a simple date—don’t overwhelm them with romantic gestures. Just do something together that’s fun and low-pressure.

The Bible reminds us to set up boundaries to protect our emotional and spiritual health: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). For example, you might say something like, “I understand that you’re upset. But if you continue to call me names, I’ll be leaving this conversation. ” Or, you can say something like, “I know that you care about me.

The key here is to keep your lips sealed. You can thank him for his honesty, and if he seems to be waiting for you to reciprocate, just don’t.
