I'm interested in hearing from both men and women. I'm a man and if I was going to meet someone then I would just shower, wash my face, moisturize, wear contacts instead of glasses, make sure I'm clean-shaven and make sure I'm wearing a shirt with a collar. I feel like I'm lazy and inefficient but the whole thing can take a couple of hours. It's basically the same thing I would do if I was going to go out drinking with a group of friends at night.

Serious answer: about 50% longer than my non-date readying ritual. Probably takes me about 30-45 minutes in the morning to poo poo, shower, shave. If I were headed out for a date, more in the 45-60 minute ballpark because I'd pay a little more attention to the details.

I'm a woman! My date-prep routine isn't too different from my normal "going out for the day" routine, but I like to make myself a little fancy from day-to-day.  Normal Day - 20-30 minutes before leaving Take my hair out of its sleeping style, check the weather, put on makeup (BB cream with SPF, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, mascara, lipstick), put on weather-appropriate clothes, decide between my 3 normal pairs of shoes, leave. Date Day - +30 to 45 minutes the night before, 30-45 minutes before leaving The major differences take place the night before. Since I'm a before-bed bathing type of gal, I make sure I shave the night before a date, and I spend more time on my hair: since I'm half black and I don't relax my hair, my hair care routine is more involved when I want to look capital-N Nice. I condition my hair under a shower cap, detangle it so it looks nice and smooth, and put it in twists, braids, bantu knots or buns depending on the hair texture I want to have. I might also paint my nails! Then when I wake up, I'll take my hair out of its sleeping style, check the weather, put on makeup (primer, foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, mascara, lipstick, blush), decide what kind of look I'm going for (pretty? cute? sexy? playful?), decide on an outfit, and then I'll lay out accessories to match the attitude of the outfit. After that, I'll usually style my hair a little with my fingers and hair mist (like hair spray but less sticky), put on a little perfume, decide between 4 or 5 pairs of shoes (depending on the season), and finally put on my accessories and leave. It looks longer on paper, but in action it's similar to what photomikey said - about 50% longer, not counting the 45 minutes of prep the night before. I guess that makes a big difference!

My pre-date routine expands to fill all available time. Shower Hair (mine is quite short lately, so this step takes about three minutes) Face Clothing round one "What do I even need to bring a on a date" Clothing round two "Fuuuuuuck these tights have a run" Clothing round three Jewelry Shoes Change poo poo up as time allows, second guess every piece. This whole process takes half an hour, or until the date arrives.

There generally isn't a huge difference between my regular routine and date routine. I just make sure to pick one of my better outfits and spend a little more time making sure my hair looks nice. If I have a little acne or something I will cover it up with light makeup. I brush my teeth right before leaving. That's about it really, tends to work out just fine for me. Edit: I'm female, for clarification

I think the most important thing before a date is the poop. You sit on that toilet until you know all the poop is out of your body. That way you know you aren't going to rip any room-clearing farts on your date. Grab a book and just sit there. Sometimes I'll sit there for like an hour, reading, letting my colon and anus take their time. But the result is that I've never worried about having to clench my buttcheeks together in fear of farting and ruining everything- it's worth the time investment! After the poop I just take a shower and pick out clothing appropriate for where we're going and for the time of year. I often listen to Marilyn Manson's cover of "Tainted Love" on repeat during getting dressed and stuff because one time that song was the last song I heard before going on a really awesome date, so it's my good luck charm. You might think this post is in jest but everything here is 100% true.

I clean the flat. Even if it's already clean. Even if I have no hope or intention of bringing a girl back, I clean the flat. It makes me feel like a functioning adult. I never shave before a date - too much risk of cuts, and it fucks your skin up. Shave the night before, maybe two., so you're smooth, but lets your skin recover. I always iron my shirt after getting out the shower - fresh ironed shirt feels amazing, and again, manipulate your surroundings, control your environment, makes you feel confident. Be sure to put on boxers before doing the ironing. It's not worth the risk to not. Then I have a custom date playlist I listen to on the tube, based on excerpts from the Utopia Soundtrack

Maybe 20 minutes? Shower and brush my teeth. Trim my beard back, spot shave the spots that aren't supposed to have hair (neck). Hair is easy because I keep it short and it looks good a little bit messy. I don't use cologne, just old spice swagger deoderant (Which gets me a lot of "Oh god you smell good" comments). Jeans + Buttonup, socks, shoes, out the door. If I'm already shaved up from the day before I can cut the whole thing to like 10 minutes if I'm in a hurry.

I like to clean the apartment up the day before, like you know, it's just a good excuse to make sure your place is clean and presentable, and to look for stuff you miss in day to day tidy up. Then before the date I take a shower, use expensive product to style my hair because thick, curly red hair is a nightmare to tame with the cheap stuff, which can take like 15 minutes sometimes. Then it's the usual poo poo, shave, and freshen up. So like, usually about an hour. If the hair's fussy it can take a bit longer. I'm a dude, for the record

1 hour to 1 and one half. I have to wash my hair the day before though because I don't use a hair dryer. VV supermarket or friends who don't pay for dinner whatever I can do 15 minutes. They don't get make up or contacts ChairmanMeow fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jun 16, 2015 |

drat. I'm female and the whole rigmarole—brush and floss teeth, wash face, put in contacts, shower (shampoo, condition, wash body, wash bits, shave legs n' pits, trim bikini area), blowdry hair, put on outfit, put on different outfit, put on yet another outfit, despair, finally find outfit that works, do makeup (bit of foundation, eyebrow pencil, mascara, blush; optional: eyeliner, one to three different shades of eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss)—doesn't take two hours. You are inefficient, OP. The above routine can be about an hour, though the trying-on-different-outfits part expands to fill all the time available and it can go into an hour and a half. For just going out with friends or to work or whatnot, if I don't need to shave the legs or bikini area and I have an outfit already picked out or get it right the first time, it can be 45 minutes. If I don't need to wash my hair either, 30. If I need to get out NOW NOW NOW I can skip the makeup too and the contacts and the fussing over outfits and be out in 15 minutes (brush teeth, wash face, quick body wash, pull on ugly clothes, brush hair). Oh, and someone post the American Psycho monologue.

Alright, this is me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGeAMVK75T4 To be serious I'm obsessive compulsive and actually would cancel dates and not go to highschool if I didn't have a certain appearance, but I got very old and just don't care or think about it as much anymore, laziness and forgetting to shave is part of what men often look like and it really doesn't cost you any blowjobs. Back then? Maybe 90 minutes before a date, today maybe 10.

Nothing much, really, same a going to class. Maybe take less geeky T-shirt and in some cases trim beard. Glad that's past me.
