I Have a Date Tonight

[pigeonmol]

And I am nervous as all out. This guy is pretty great. We have been talking every day (online) for a little over a week. We are getting dinner in three hours and I am chewing my nails to a nub. Its not like this is the first time I have been on a first date. I am watching a feel good movie while I get ready and shaved my legs, since that always raises my confidence. How do I calm my nerves?

I think being a little nervous is good. I find getting in some exercise really helps calm me down, but it sounds like you've already showered and stuff.

I have a glass of wine while I'm getting ready. totally helps!

Just one though...and make sure you still stick to a 1-2 glass drink MAX on you date.

A quick walk or a call to a friend to calm down helps!

The last date I went on I did the Stuart Smalley thing on the drive to the coffee shop, which made me giggle and chill out!

Now this thought makes me giggle. *looks in the mirror* I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and gosh darnit, people LOVE me

Have fun, I would definitely have a glass of wine to losen up and help you relax a little. I hope you have a great time.

Thanks everyone. I think boot scootin boogie is going to be my new pump me up song. Couldnt help but dance to it! One glass of wine poured and slowly sipping (after one big gulp!) I was just thinking, when you gals get ready, do you do hair or make-up first? I mean I can see the argument for both sides and end up switching it up.

I always do my hair first. Then makeup. But usually because my hair is curly like a fro and I have to straighten it. So I then sweat my makeup off when I'm straightening. So hair first, time to cool it down, then makeup

Have a good time!

lol...mine is just the opposite! I wait on the hair to air dry some because it's crazy curly!

I have curly hair, so I put on face lotion and concealer while it air dries some, then blow dry, then finish make up, then flat iron. That sounds really complicated, but it seriously only takes me about 30 mins usually to get ready, shower included.

LOL at all the curly girls with completely different prep routines. I can laugh too. I've got crazy wavy, curly can't make up it's mind hair. My hair has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it's curls scruched with curl cream and gel, sometimes it wants to be blown out straight. Depends on the day... I have weird hair.

My hair is wavy and uberlong, so I usually put it up in an updo first, then do makeup and stuff. My hair looks best if I style it while wet, so I do it right out of the shower. Plus, then it's out of my way for doing makeup.
