If you're meeting another human being, then congratulations! With umpteen dating apps to choose from, Netflix, food delivery, and porn as far as the eye can see, you’ve managed to secure yourself one-on-one time with another person and make it out of the house long enough to see it through. Good for you! Now all you have to do is not screw it up. Easier said than done. From the second you say hello, there's nothing but obstacles standing in the way of you landing a follow-up date. Most of them are outside your control (how could you know "shrimp" was a trigger word?). That's why it's important that you control the things you can. Case in point: your pre-date grooming routine. By getting a proper one in place, you're removing one date-ending obstacle, maybe more. Here are nine tasks guaranteed to put your best self forward:

1. Shower (sans shampoo).

Yes, you should shower before your date. This is not optional. But what you might want to think about is forgoing the shampoo. While, yes, it’ll make your hair smell great, shampoo will also strip follicles of their natural oils, leaving your mane especially susceptible to frizzing out and otherwise not looking its best. That would be the last thing you want on your big night, so wash your locks a day or two beforehand instead.

2. Get your skin in gear.

Besides the clothes on your back, your skin may very well be the first thing your date is going to see when you finally meet up. So you need to be sure that it has never looked better. Whether that means doing your darnedest to get rid of acne, hunting down blackheads with reckless abandon, or simply applying a touch of moisturizer is up to you.

3. Sit down for a trim.

Hear us out on this one. Now, a lot of guys would say that you should never get a haircut the day of, since you never know exactly how it’ll end up. And frankly, we agree; besides being risky, a full-on haircut may come off a little try-hard to the person you’re trying to impress. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop by the barbershop. This time, though, ask for a touch-up, specifically around your neckline, which’ll make your ’do look fresh and new—even if it’s been weeks since you last got a proper cut.

4. Clean up your beard, no matter how big or small.

Proud of the hair you’ve managed to grow on your jaw? Don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you to shave it. This is 2016, after all; we may very well be at peak beard. But what you are gonna want to do is tame the wild forest on your cheeks. The keys to doing so: scaled-back bushiness and a freshly shorn neckline. And if you need inspiration on that, you can look to Justin Timberlake.

5. Pay attention to down there.

Is it in any way certain that you’re going to get lucky tonight? Not at all. But do you want to get caught with your pants down if you do? Also no. So it’s not a bad idea to bust out the trimmer to get everything downstairs looking its best. Just do it a few days ahead of time—you need a time buffer to ensure the scratchiness subsides before the big day.

If you’re texting or talking to a guy and you’re not sure how to keep the conversation going, try asking him questions. For instance, you could ask him about what he likes to do in his free time, or what he thinks of a band or a movie you like. Try to avoid asking yes or no questions. Instead, ask open-ended questions that will be more likely to get him talking. You can also tell him a little about yourself so he’ll feel more comfortable opening up to you. For tips on carrying on a text conversation, like keeping your messages short and meaningful, read on!
