How do you get a girl to stop talking to your boyfriend?
Talking should pose no problems ... dating is another issue. Anyone should be able to talk to anyone else they so choose. Seems one party is being extremely jealous.
Is it proper etiquette to receive gifts at your second marriage?
it is a nice gesture to give a gift anytime someone gets married.
Gifts are by definition voluntary. You are never required to give a gift for any occasion. This is not to be confused with cultural customs. If you are attending a wedding or are close to the parties involved, it is customary to give a gift reflective of your affection and your means.
In addition, wedding gifts usually cover at least the cost of the guest- so you don't have to go overboard at the second wedding but at least give something respectable ( usually you'd give a little more money to a more expensive venue.
ANSWER
Cover your plate is not, nor has it ever been, an etiquette rule. It has been created by greedy brides and grooms that want to make a profit on their wedding. The couple chooses to host the wedding that they can afford. This has nothing to do with what you choose to give as a gift.
If you want to give a gift, you should. If you don't, you don't have to. The amount depends entirely on your situation and your relationship with the couple. The fact that it is their second marriage doesn't change this, but if you feel that you recently gave one member of the couple a large gift recently at their first wedding, this may affect how much you choose to give at their second.

What wording should one use to ask guests at baby shower to pay for their own food at restaurant?
Put on the bottom of the invitation to "eat your own expense".
If you expect people to attend a Baby Shower and bring gifts, ask for the use of a Church hall or something and at least provide cake and beverages. Otherwise, just send out Birth Announcements after the Baby comes, and hope people send gifts out of affection and/or kindness.
Nonverbal communication skills are important in social interaction.
They are ways to show your interest, acceptance, disdain, etc. without saying anything.
For example, a child rolling their eyes at their father is showing that they are not interested in what he is saying, and conveys disrespect, non-verbally. Lookoing a person in the eyes conveys interest in what they are saying without your ever saying anything.
Pallbearers are usually family and friends. It would seem out of place in most circumstances to tip them, almost an insult to their heartfelt service. I have never seen an instance of this in over 40 years of ministry.

Why do boys like touching girls?
Boys think it is a good way of making there relationship better/stronger and because they are boys? That's what they do! But i think they only do it because they try to make the girls feel good about themselves. If you aren't comfortable with your bf touching you... Tell him!
We like to touch partly out of curiosity, partly out of making the girl feel good and partly because it makes us feel more manly (Yes, it seems petty and silly, but you girls have your own things too). But like the answer above me, say something if you don't like it- COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
