Do you have a certain routine or ritual you do before a 1st date (or any date)?

I will blast music that makes me feel sexy and I'm ashamed to admit, I'll have a drink... to calm my nerves. Tonight it will be wine before happy hour. Lol

    Try not have a panic attack and cancel last second. Call my friend Katie or Laura and have them talk me down to remind me that I like the guy and I always have fun.

    I am going to start adding wine.

    I find wine makes me feel nice and loose before date so instead of nerves, I greet date with a smile and hug.

    Shower? :laugh:

    Umm I think I just have this thing about making sure my hair looks okay. I tend to get extra crazy about it right before a date, but once I'm on the date I don't even think about it. Weird.

    This is cute. It's cute to know that women are nervous just like some men are. :)

    I never thought of making space in the freezer beforehand. I always sharpen my knives though.

    I light a bonfire, then put on a loincloth and facepaint and dance the crazy primitive love dance while howling and chanting to bongo drums.

    Last night I was soooo nervous I pulled into a gas station to freshen up beforehand one last time and I had to audibly calm myself down. I really hate-love 1st dates.

    You bet!. .But then I'd have to come up with something even more bizzarre to do before my pre-date ritual. . since my pre-date ritual would be sort of a pre-date date. . hmmm..

    It's not quite as effective (the love-dance) in daylight, but it's better than nothing. . And when you show up in that outfit, the guy will instantly fall head-over-heels in love with you. It's a formula for success!

    The one constant, I shower, brush & floss the pearly whites, listen to some good music to pump my mood up, and when I lock my front door, I leave the house with one expectation, to have a good time.

    Unload the gun? Sure we do. Before...after....we are like monkeys, we can't stop touching ourselves. Heck, when I'm single and not seeing someone, I beat it like it owes me money!

    Before date ritual?

    I just freak out, mostly. Like, not a full-blown panic attack, but pretty spastic. I'm the nervous type...
  • yes...

    Before I go on a date, I take a nice long hot relaxing bath in my garden tub, wash my hair, shave, slather my body in smell good lotion,brush my teeth, rinse my mouth with Listerine. Paint my fingernails and toenails. Walk in a convenient store to see what responses I get from the men there... if it's all smiles and turned heads, I know I'm hot and ready to roll and thinking, "boy, he sure is lucky to be going out with me"... lol

    Okay, yes, I shower, wash my hair and do all that other stuff anyway (except maybe I don't shave every day)... but when I am going on a date, I take my time with it.
