Dating and That Time of the Month
For me, my time of the month is the worst week I could possibly have. Headaches, cramps, moodiness; whatever it is, I’ve got it all.
So what do you do when you have a hot date planned while you’re on your period and feeling like crap?
1. Cancel
You could always call him up and cancel, saying you aren’t feeling well. That wouldn’t be a lie at all. Offer to make plans for the day after you know your period will be over and hope that he isn’t too upset.
2. Go Shopping
I know that when Aunt Flo is visiting me, nothing I own seems to fit. So, if I have big plans and want to still look great while feeling lousy, I’ll go shopping for something new. I generally don’t buy a size larger or anything just for my period, but I’ll shop around for the same size clothes but for something that looks a little bit more flattering on my bloated stomach.
3. Don’t Get Mean
Make sure that you already know what you are going to do on the date, because the decision may be left up to you and you don’t want to get annoyed at having to decide where to go. Get rid of any potential crabbiness situations before you go out, and you should be fine.
4. Suck it Up and Have Fun
Even if you are on your period, so what? Have a great time, enjoy the person you’re with, and take some Midol or something before you go out. If you cancel or are mean to him, you’ll definitely regret it later. So put on that smile, go out and have a good time.
My favorite is to go to the movies. Not only is it air conditioned, but if I’m cranky I don’t have to worry about talking to the other person and I get to have a good time lol.
