Last night I had a date. It didn’t go so well, and I did everything in my power to get it off to a good start. I shaved my legs, washed my hair, and cleaned my apartment (hey, you never know). Alas, doing those seemed to have brought me bad luck. After the jump, how to jinx a date and how to guarantee it will go well.

I definitely always wear ugly underwear on a first date!

Me too! In addition to reversing the jinx, it’s also a nice reminder that no matter how wonderful a first date is or how much I might want to, first date sex is not a great idea (at least for me). And even if you do end up showing off your stained grannies, a good test of a man is to see if he cares about them or not!

How true this all is, and not just for dates, but all situations in life. C’est la vie!

I never get laid on the days when I shave! Well, maybe a couple times while I was in a relationship. When I’m single it never happens that way though. I thought it was just me

I ALWAYS jinx myself when I shave everything for the first few dates. You think after the first couple of times it happens I stop but unfortunately I still do it. I guess I’ll never learn.

I get waxed so im good for a while. I love waxing, it actually is so much easier to maintain.

The fact that I’ve been wearing a pair of ugly panties has stopped me several times from doing things that probably wouldn’t have been a good idea lol

In college, I shaved my legs everyday. That way I could never jinx myself or be hairy if I hooked up because I did it everyday.

maybe we shouldn’t shave everyday-we would hook up less often.
and maybe just maybe, not spread so much STD’s.
so girlies, lets be more careful about this.

A girl that purposely didnt shower or shave? wouldnt care about the panties I suppose if it’s a first date because even if she was totally into me and I knew it, I wouldnt expect to be seeing her underwear. I have to think it is meant to be a joke about not freshening up otherwise. Not shaving the legs, fine by me just dont expect me to touch them.

I have a (first) date tonight. I shaved, washed my hair, wore perfume, cleaned the apt…I guess this date is pretty much jinxed!
