This will depend on your relationship and how you usually contact each other too. You can text him, call him, email him, talk to him on IM (instant messenger), write him a nice letter, or speak face to face. You might also like to contact him one way, then follow up with another way, just to confirm his affirmation to going on the date, and the time, etc. It's a lot harder to say no or push aside someone's kind request when you're face to face. He'll see immediately how much effort this requires of you and be more willing to meet you all the way if you are together when you ask. Have courage––he cares about you after all!

Typically, this drug is prescribed if you are overweight or very overweight, particularly if you have 1 or more obesity-related health problems, such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Contrave can help you lose weight over time when combined with other weight loss activities, such as diet and exercise. "Overweight" is classified as a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 30. If you have a BMI of 27-30 or above, you may qualify for this medication. For reference, a person who is 5 feet (1.5 m) 9 inches (23 cm) and weighs 169 to 202 pounds (77 to 92 kg) is considered overweight. Your doctor is the best judge of whether this medication is right for you. Ask your doctor if you can be prescribed this medication or something like it to help you lose weight.  You could say, "I'm worried about my weight. Could the drug Contrave be a possible solution for me?" You could also ask, "I know my weight is a health risk. Are there any drugs you could recommend to help me lose weight?" Because this medication can have side effects, your doctor will likely want to see you again in a relatively short time, maybe a month or so. This follow-up appointment will just be to make sure the drug is effective and not causing you any discomfort.  Usually, your doctor will not need to run tests before prescribing this medication, but it depends on your health and what your doctor thinks is best for you. You will need regular checkups with this medication, as laid out by your doctor. Your doctor will need to monitor you for neurological and psychiatric side effects, such as agitation, irritability, depression, confusion, anxiety, or unusual behaviors. They will also need to check your blood pressure, pulse, and glucose levels both before and during the course of medication. This drug has been linked to fetal deaths due to abnormalities. This drug is not safe in any trimester for pregnant women. Studies haven't been done on the safety of taking Contrave while breastfeeding, so it is not recommended. You should be using some form of birth control while on this drug so that you don't get pregnant. Your doctor will likely want to do a pregnancy test before placing you on this medication. If you have high blood pressure, it's not recommended that you take Contrave. However, if your high blood pressure is regulated by medication, your doctor may still suggest you take this medication. Talk to your doctor about which blood pressure medications are safe to take with Contrave. High blood pressure is defined as 130 mm HG or higher for systolic pressure (the larger number) and 80 mm HG or higher for diastolic pressure (the lower number). If your doctor doesn't know that you're on or have been on an MAOI in the last 2 weeks, tell your doctor before beginning Contrave. MAOI is a type of antidepressant, and it shouldn't be taken at the same time as Contrave. This drug can increase your chance of having seizures. Therefore, if you have a seizure disorder, it's best to avoid this drug, unless your doctor suggests otherwise.

This may sound obvious, but if your ultimate goal is to win an escape room, you should choose your team wisely. Send out an email or group message to people you know who have talked about escape rooms, enjoy games and puzzles, have a sense of humor, or generally work well with others.  Keep in mind that it’s better to go with acquaintances or coworkers who are excited about the idea and want to win than with your best friend who thinks the idea is sort of stupid or won’t play along well with the team. If you can’t organize a group to go, many escape room locations offer public bookings, where your teammates will be other individuals or pairs who are strangers. This can work well for a last-minute date idea or if you’re traveling. Each escape room has a limit for the number of people who can play the room. Call ahead of time to find out what the maximum capacities are for the escape room you’re going to, and plan to book your group at around 70-80% of that number. Filling the room to maximum capacity can cause you to run into a couple of problems, like physical crowdedness, not having enough things for everyone to work on, and trouble keeping everyone up to speed on progress. Some people are great at math puzzles, some enjoy visual puzzles or word games, and others are good at noticing small details or staying organized. It helps to know who can contribute what to the game ahead of time, so try to spend even just 10 minutes discussing what you think each of you will be best at during the game. When you get to the room, you can have a loose plan of what types of clues each person will try to focus on while you play. There are 2 main styles of escape rooms: Japanese style, which uses more observational clues in a large space with many objects, and Norwegian style, which is a mostly plain room centered on the puzzles themselves. If you have an option for room style, discuss with your team which they prefer and choose one that most team members will be happy with. Both styles are challenging, just in different ways. In Japanese style rooms, part of the challenge is finding clues in objects, and determining how they fit together. In Norwegian style rooms, the puzzles themselves tend to be more challenging.
