Nowadays I do nothing before a date because now I'm too old to have a date. But when I was younger I can remenber more the girl was pretty and more I liked her ,more I got nervous . I tried to be at my best so I used to taking care of my body I shaved I had a shower I wore deodorant and perfume and I wore my more lovely clothes that my mother had been ironed carefuly The date either was a success or a failure and in the last case I regretted the time I had wasted to get ready

Nowadays I do nothing before a date because now I'm now too old to have a date. But when I was younger I can remember the more the girl was pretty the more I liked her and the more I got nervous . I tried to be at my best so I used to take care of my body. I shaved, I had a shower, I wore deodorant and perfume/cologne/aftershave, and I wore my best clothes that my mother had been ironed carefully The date was either a success or a failure, and in the latter case I regretted the time I had wasted to get ready.

Nowadays, I do nothing before a date because now I'm too old to have a date. But when I was younger I can remember [that] the prettier the girl was, the more I liked her and the more nervous I got. I tried to be at my best so I used to take care of my body. I shaved, I had a shower, I wore deodorant and perfume and I wore my nicest clothes that my mother had been ironed carefully. The date could be either a success or a failure, when it was the latter I regretted the time I had wasted to get ready.

very good (except for the idea of being too old for whatever) !!!

Nowadays I do nothing before a date because now I'm too old to have a date. But when I was younger I can remember the prettier the girl and the more I liked her, the more nervous I got. I tried to be at my best so I took care of my body, shaved and had a shower.   I wore deodorant and perfume, and I wore my most attractive clothes that my mother had ironed carefuly The date either was a success or a failure and in the last case I regretted the time I had wasted to get ready.

Nowadays I do nothing before a date because now I'm too old to have a date. But when I was younger I can remember the prettier the girl was and the more I liked her, the more nervous I got . I tried to be at my best, so I took care of my body, I shaved, I had a shower, I put on deodorant and cologne, and I wore my nicest clothes that my mother had been carefully ironed. The date was either a success or a failure, and in the last case I regretted the time I had wasted to get ready.

Excellent, very descriptive and with good humor.  The more descriptive you are the better you become at expressing yourself in the language.  I try to do the same with my French, it takes me a long time to write, and I still get a lot of things wrong, but I feel I am learning more that way.

Keep up the good work.
