Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie Maywielsen and I am so happy that you're

here. Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives

to the absolute full. Life is so much better, and easier, and absolutely more fun when we

navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. In today's episode,

we're going to be talking to my sweet friend, Carly Kellerman. Carly is one of my closest

friends here in Nashville as well as one of my closest friends from when I did the world

race. Now, I don't know if you guys are familiar with the world race or not, but it's an 11-month

mission trip that goes to 11 countries around the world, and that's how Carly and I met.

That's also how my husband Carly and I met, but that is a story for another day. Carly

and I travel the world together and became instant friends and you'll soon see why. Carly

is hilarious and wise and she's just the best girlfriend you are going to love her. I think

you're going to love today's topic too, because today we're going to be talking about dating.

Specifically, Carly is going to walk us through how to handle some of the moments that

trip us up and make us the most nervous on our first few dates with someone. Today,

Carly is going to talk to us about who to say yes to and who to say no to when it comes

to going on a date. She'll talk to us about what to wear and what to order at a restaurant

and even just thinking about this one gives me butterflies, who pays for the meal at

the end and how to handle that. She'll talk to us about the purpose of a first date

and how to take off some of the pressure, how to show someone you're interested or not

interested, what to do if a date doesn't go well, how to follow up after a first date
