Hey, the bird show.

I saw an interesting article online by a writer who writes for Cosmopolitan, and it had to do with dating superstitions.

Superstition, the correct word, because the analogy she gave at first is like baseball players, when they're winning, they tend to do the same things to have success in the game.

So if a guy, you know, who's a baseball player,

wears a t-shirt underneath his uniform,

he feels that's his lucky t-shirt from then on, and he wears it until, you know, the team starts losing. I think it's the same thing as a fan. Like if you're watching, like I know I'll do this. Like if I'm watching my team and they're losing, I'll turn the TV off. And if I come back and they started to win, I'll turn the TV back off knowing that it must have been because I turned it off.

And that's why they started their comeback. I'll feel that way watching Florida State. If I'm sitting in one spot watching the game and we're winning, I have to stay in that spot. And then if we're losing, I have to get up and go to a new spot. And if it changes it, then I have to stay in the new spot. If your team wins on a Saturday or Sunday, you're going to wear that same outfit next Saturday or next Sunday. Right. Because for whatever feeling you think, that is the reason that your contribution to the winning team is that shirt or that, you know, the seat that you're sitting or whatever. Well, the same goes with dating, according to this writer. The article had to do with things that people do before a date because it's just this ritual

that they feel they've done before a great date before, so they're going to do it before a great

date again. So dating superstitions. Dating superstitions. And I'll give you one example.

And this article, the guy is called Al because she kind of relays some of the people's superstitious rituals before a date that, you know, that she talked to.

And this guy's name Al.

He says that he has a postcard of Al Pacino with Serpico that has followed him around since college.

So he's always had this postcard and it's tagged to his wall next to his door. And he says, before he leaves for a date, that he goes to the postcard, says, see you later, Soproko. Think I'll come home alone. And then he says he pretty much stares at me, but it makes me laugh, so I feel less nervous. The fact that he still does this makes him less nervous when he walks out the door.

And this is his routine for every day because he did so well on one date with that. Yes. I have 404-741-105 if you have one of these dating superstitions. See you later, Sirpica. You think I'm coming on weird. Now, there's one. Now, this next one is something that I think is routine probably for guys. It's another guy that she had interviewed,

and he was just talking about him doing 30 push-ups before every date.

So he says it's not to make him look bigger. It just makes him feel a little more pumped up. Right. Started doing it in college or something to get that extra blood to the muscle. Most guys have done that. Just for the record, most guys do that. they'll do a couple of push, especially if you're going to a pool party. Oh, yeah, you're going to work out for sure about an hour beforehand

just so you're all a little puffy before you get out there.

Now something, yeah, now something that is probably routine and common for women to do is this one woman says that she lights a white candle, has to be a white candle, and burns it to take any negative energy away that may be in the room that's making her nervous.

Then she takes a bubble bath and she said it makes her feel. white candle and burns it to take any negative energy away that may be in the room that's

making her nervous. Then she takes a bubble bath and she said it makes her feel relaxed,

positive, and open to possibility. So that's her way of relaxing before day. The bubble bath part

is just as she can see when she's shaven. Because you can sit down in there and, you know,
