Article: Though "date night" may sound forced, you and your special someone should aim to have a date night at least once a week, if not more often. You don't have to call it "date night" if that sounds too cheesy, but you should make a goal to spend some quality time together without anyone else around at least one night a week. You can do this same thing during date night, such as cooking dinner together and then going to the movies, or spice it up and do something new every time. If you're staying in, maintain a romantic atmosphere by lighting some candles and playing some soft music. Whatever you do, make sure you have time to really talk during your special time together. You won't be able to talk much if you're just going to a loud concert together. Learn to say no to others during "date night." Your girlfriends may be begging you to come out to the bars, but if you've scheduled a date night, tell them you can't make it and make plans for next week. Things will break down if "date night" is the thing you're always willing to give up. You should always look nice, tell each other how much you love each other, and compliment each other throughout the night. You don't have to plug this into your calendar, and hopefully you won't have to, but you should make a conscious effort to make love at least one a week, no matter how tired you feel after work, or how much you have going on that week. Making love is a way to maintain your intimacy and to grow closer to your partner. You should also spend some time just cuddling and kissing each other, so you don't feel like you're just checking "sex" off of your to-do list. Though your schedules may get crazy, you need to make a concerted effort to talk to each other every day, no matter how much work you have to do. You can set aside time to talk during dinner, or to talk over the phone if your loved one is away. Make a habit of knowing what your loved one's day was like. Though you don't have to bore each other with every little detail of your lives, you should become comfortable with each other's routines. If you're spending a week apart, set aside at least fifteen minutes a day to catch up and to remind your loved one how much you love and miss him. When you do talk, there should be no distractions. You're not really talking if you're also watching the game or checking your phones.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make time for romance. Make love at least once a week. Make time to talk.

Problem: Article: Is it a group of people, or just one person? If you are dealing with a group of people, it is best to confront either the leader of the group or the weakest person in the group. Tell them that you feel like they are pressuring you into doing something you don't want to do. When you feel you are being manipulated, try asking the person a series of probing questions. This may catch them off guard and allow you the time you need to analyze the situation and make a decision about how you want to handle it. Some questions you could ask include: Do I have a say in this? Does this seem reasonable to you? Are you asking me or telling me? What do I get out of this? Does what you want from me sound fair? When this person(s) asks you to do something you do not want to do, simply refuse. This can be difficult at first, but you have to understand that no good will come out of it for either of you. Once you say no, the person will most likely be surprised. Learning to firmly say no is an important part of not allowing yourself to be manipulated. If you are continually pressured to do something unpleasant, say no and walk away. Do not allow the person(s) to coerce you by pressuring you over and over. If they don't accept your refusal, simply exit the situation. It is best to do this in a private place. Explain that you do not want to let yourself be controlled. However, you should also mention that you still want to continue the friendship, as long as this person is willing to change their behavior. Most of the time, this person will not want to continue the relationship. Do not be depressed about this. Recognize the fact that your life was not improved at all by this person. One of the main methods of manipulation that people use is giving undue flattery. When someone praises you, especially when you really haven't done anything to deserve it, this feels good and it's easy to give in to it. But that is just a form of trickery by a manipulative person who knows exactly what they're doing. Try telling them that you appreciate the compliment, but you don't feel like you've done enough to deserve such comments.
Summary: Think about the individual(s) manipulating you. Ask the manipulator questions. Refuse the request. Don't give in to continued attempts. Confront the person. Don't give in to flattery.

Egypt is a major hub for Arabic speakers, but it does have its own unique dialect. As a result some words in Egyptian Arabic are different from those spoken in Modern or Classical Arabic. In order to be understood by someone in Egypt or a nearby country (such as Sudan), you should learn a few basic terms in Egyptian Arabic. Just like in English, there are many ways to say hello or to greet someone. Even if you don't end up speaking all of these, learning them will be helpful when you hear them spoken to you. Here are a few basic greetings in Egyptian Arabic: Assalaam aleykoom Or Salamo Aleko(peace be with you, used for starting a conversation) Salaam (peace, used for ending a conversation) Ezayek(female) Or Ezayak(male) (how are you?) Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome) Amla/amel eh (how are you?) There are several words and phrases that are used regularly in conversation, but may not be useful for forming a conversation or sentence. Here are some popular words and phrases you are likely to hear and use on a regular basis: Aywa (yes) La'a (no) Shokran (thank you) Affwan (you're welcome) Law Samaht (please) Kwayes (good) Aasif (sorry) Kol haga (everything) Feen (where) Leeh (why) You'll need to learn a few basic sentences that are either responses to questions (such as 'I am good') or that are important to know when confronted by a stranger (such as 'I don't speak Arabic). Here are a few important phrases: Ana mesh batkallem arabi (I don't speak Arabic) Ana batkallem arabi nos nos (I speak Arabic alright) El sa'aa kam (What is the time?) Ento men feen? Or Ento Mneen?
