Final Date Checklist Before You Go Out

1. Do you have your wallet? Don’t risk that “oh my God he’s so pathetic” eye roll. Make sure you’ve got your wallet, and while you’re at it, make sure you’ve got plenty of backup options to pay.

2. Keep it simple. I know you want to impress her with your flashy “Chuck Norris can punch you without lifting his fist” t-shirt, but please, for the sake of your own ego, refrain. A simple shirt and pair of jeans, khakis or slacks will do. If you need to wear a tie, please don’t wear anything too gaudy. She doesn’t want to be reminded of her grandmother’s carpet any more than you do.

3. Don’t bathe in your cologne. Nothing is more annoying to a woman than the overpowering scent of too much Axe – or whatever it is you kids are wearing nowadays. And yes, despite what the commercials say, there is such a thing as too much Axe. A couple of sprays will do; it’s potent enough, just like you.

4. What’s her name? Don’t laugh; seriously, what is it? Nothing says “You are so getting trashed on Facebook” like forgetting her name, or worse, calling her something else entirely. After you’ve memorized it, make sure that you don’t try to entertain her with stories about your psycho ex that left a dead cat in your back seat. She’s the only woman you should be focused on. Remember that.
