How to get ready for Date night

BE YOURSELF

Being yourself is one of the most crucial things to keep in mind as you get ready for a first date. Don't strive to be someone you're not; instead, choose the hair, makeup, and clothes that best reflect your personality.

DON’T WORRY

If you obsess over every single detail of your appearance, your date's chances of having any kind of meaningful conversation will probably be gone.

BE CONFIDENT

Nothing is more attractive than a person who is at ease with themselves and their appearance. Remember that your date probably has issues of their own and is not flawless. Avoid overthinking every aspect of the date and try to just have fun instead. Spend some time really getting to know each other.

TALK TO YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS

It's probable that you'll feel a little anxious before the date, but your closest friends can handle this. Call your friends and ask them what they think of your outfit if you are feeling anxious. You'll feel more confident and happier before you go out thanks to this little conversation.

DRESS FOR THE OCCASION

To avoid worrying about being too or too little dressed, find out where you will be meeting. This will allow you to dress accordingly. If you are meeting at a fine dining restaurant as opposed to a local café or coffee shop, you might wish to dress more formally.

Red Flags in a relationship

YOUR PARTNER GASLIGHTS YOU

Gaslighting, which is an effort to persuade you that everything is in your head, is a common tactic used by partners. If you constantly sense that something is off but you are rejected when you try to talk to your partner about it, your relationship may be toxic.

YOUR PARTNER CONSTANTLY MAKES FUN OF YOU

A partner making offensive fun of you might be a sign of criticism and disrespect. Additionally, acting arrogant sends a toxic, demeaning message. It is extremely disheartening and emotionally damaging to have the person you love, constantly point out your faults.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP SEEMS HOPELESS AND YOU FEEL LOST

When two people are in a good relationship, they often feel at ease and like their true selves. In toxic relationships, the "good days" that were so common in the beginning start to become fewer and farther between, and they rarely last for very long. If you often feel exhausted and depleted, it may be time to end the relationship.

THEIR ANGER MAKES YOU FEEL UNSAFE

Physical abuse is not necessarily the first form of domestic violence. A major warning sign is when your partner becomes angry in a way that makes you feel unsafe. An issue with anger is when it emerges quickly and frequently or when someone makes violent threats against you.

THEY ISOLATE YOU

One important red flag is that your partner may try to isolate you from the outside world.  They can be hesitant of meeting your friends or family or jealous of your interactions with them. Perhaps they put so many demands on your time and attention that it is challenging for you to see your friends and family, and they become irritated when you do.
