The first date

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.

Good work...well written...good vocabulary...and amusing - in an insightful and realistic way...javio

the latter(failure) is the second example and the former(success) is the first example...good luck Michel

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) !!!
