I thought it might be interesting to hear how people prepare for a date. There are obvious things like
1. shower,
2. shave,
3. get mints,
4. prepare rabbit's foot, four leaf clover, lucky boxers, etc.
but maybe you guys have some other ideas. Let's hear them!

this is macnn....
date?

[Sealobo]

lubrication, for a smooth date.

[MacNStein]

Clear the pipes before you head out, don't go on a date with a loaded gun.

[Goldfinger]

I cleanse my heavenly body. That's about it.

The best preparation for a date is to do no preparation at all. If you prepare it's 'coz you're anxious. Anxious is not cool and doesn't go far with the chicks.

(this assumes that you're clean and smell nice to start with, which of course should be the case - we're not Windows users, after all)

[d4nth3m4n]

sh*t shower and shave, i believe.

and i don't think luck is anything you should be relying on for a date. just smell good, be clean and eat something if you plan on drinking. and be prepared to do the little stuff- open doors, hold chairs, pick up drinks at the bar. do that while managing to be not too nerdy and you're golden.

be excellent in her presence then leave.

oh, and listen. be sure to listen. and be interested in the inane details of her life.

very important. this can make or break a date.

if you wanna be really cool, you could also anticipate things...

and make eye contact, lots of it. No, I don't mean just stare at her, but make sure she realizes that you're not intimidated. Make comments about her eye color, your attention to detail will amaze her.

Also, since you're looking into her eyes, you're keeping yours occupied, making it easier to avoid being caught staring at her boobs.

well duh, but you can't slip up with a female there.w

[Skip Breakfast]

I would like to add "Make sure I have cash" to the list.

Wake up, and realize that I'm not going on a date. Ever.

I saw your name as the most recent reply and was expecting that I would have the pleasure of crapping all over your post, but your pre-emptive self ownage has deprived me of this pleasure.

this is a good one to remember, especially if you're 21+ and going to a bar

nair

[mdc]

read that you shouldn't use it on your face. always contemplated that one.

my advice. make sure you are clean and smell good (should be an everyday thing), have money, pay attention to her, and be yourself.

[ender2002]

okay. these are the steps

1.

2.
(entire body )

3.

4.

and then youre ready to go.

[jersey]

everyone is saying listen, listen, listen...... dont forget to respond. seriously, chicks like it when you respond. well, at least they do if it's at all relevant to what they were saying.

and the cash thing is good too. the more the better. doesnt mean you have to spend it on her.... it's the incase sh!t money... you know....... incase the night calls for a bottle of jd and a hotel room.

oh... and have fun.

not with that attitude.

[PurpleGiant]

1) Be there on time
2) If driving, make sure car is clean
3) Prepare one or two funny/interesting things to say in case there is an awkward moment.
4) Laugh and Smile a lot. A positive attitude will be the number 1 thing to score you another date.

[rozwado1]

1. If you're nervous - psych yourself out. (Don't be nervous; she's just a female.)
2. Clean car (ala PG)
3. Easy on the cologne (unless you're Italian, then you have the right)
4. Don't be nervous (2nd reminder for those like tavi)
5. Try to keep comfortable conversation going. If she sucks at speaking intelligently and is still worth bringing home, resort to alcohol and keep her smiling/laughing.
6. Dancing never hurt in a dire circumstance.
7. Oh yeah - clean shoes. Girls like shoes, so yours should be noticibly clean/expensive/trendy/cool/{insert adjective here}

[TubaMuffins]

1. make sure you have reservations (if applicable), you dont want to wait for a table (unless you are old enough to go to the bar while waiting)
2. three S's of course
3. clean your house/room in case you guys are going back to your place
4. have cash
5. just clean everything she may or may not come into contact with
6. take nudie pic off desktop

That's true... the last date that I didn't really spend any time getting ready for went... ummm.... VERY well.

[rozwado1]

I don't know about you guys, but I try not to ever 'formalize' a date. I just try to setup something casual and then just "happen to have" reservations. This usually results in less stress for the female involved and also happens to lead to a friendly sleepover that escalates to touching/rubbing and eventually insertion.

Insertion is gross.

[ambush]

OK here's my routine.

1. Shower. FOR LONG.. wash every part! we never know!
2. perfume because it smells good and chixdigit
3. comb hair... arrange hair...
4. wash face..
5. drink a beer
6. [optional: smoke pot]
7. chew gum
8. push ups + sit ups to feel good about myself or something
9. make a playlist
10. get ipod, update ipod
11. volume 100% + noise reduction apple in-ear earphones
11.1: Recommended song "Punk" by Ferry Corsten.. I like the live @ spundae version
12. think positive
13. think about what you're going to talk about
14. 95% guaranteed success!

the girl I'm dating is so shy I talk 75%++ of the time so I have to make a list in my head of stuff I wanna say.. and funny stuff so there are no akward moments... but then after a coupla beers, she's fine! I LOVE HER! in fact, she's always fine, but just shy!

i loveeeeee herrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
