Try acting cute and flirty in a bodysuit thats wedged too far up.

Now, unraveling the chaos of modern dating is Rayna and Ashleys full-time job.

The duolaunchedGGEshortly after meeting, and today they sell out theaters packed with loyal listeners.

Girls Gotta Eat hosts Rayna Greenberg and Ashley Hesseltine share their first date tips.

TheGGEladies talked to Bustle to do just that:

Whats your pre-date ritual?

Rayna Greenberg:Reggaeton playlist and a spritz of Michael Kors perfume.

I confirm Im wearing something that makes me feel comfortable.

Whats a perfectly crafted text that ensures youdontcatch yourself a dating app pen-pal anddomeet up IRL?

and theyll bite (pun intended) or not.

Would you say first dates with people you meet organically are better than those from the apps?

There are literally no guarantees with someone youve only seen photos of and traded texts with.

RG:Remember that someone on a first date is the literal best version of themselves.

Weve all been on a date with him, and he isnt going to get better.

Also, the phrase Id prefer to just order my own meal and not share.

Thats gonna be a hard no for me.

How do you know when youre going to hookup with someone on the first date?

If you cant keep your hands off of each other, then go for it!

Conversely, it can be really hot to leave wanting more after a sexy make out.

Just do whatever feels right for you at the moment.

Who is supposed to text first after a great first date?

Are we always following the 72-hour rule?

Should we be followinganyrules?

AH:Is ANYONE following a 72-hour rule?

RG:They shouldnt be!

Games are for children.

Non-sexual turn-ons for the first date that makes you want to come back for the second?

RG:He asks if its cool if we just order a ton of things and split them.

AH:He has a rescue dog, flirtatiously roasts me, still laughs at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

And I co-sign Rayna on the food splitting.

RG:Dont get caught up brainstorming wildly creative activities for a first date.

Ive been stuck on first dates at restaurants/concerts/sporting events and it feels like too much of a commitment.

Still, thatsmycomfort zone.

If yours is a coffee shop, a workout class, or a food festival do that.

You guys also do a lot of traveling for live shows.

Do you ever change your dating tactics according to where youre staying?

RG:Ive dated guys from all over the country (shout out to long-distance relationships).

There are definitely different expectations about commitment and rules in each city.

Every single location seems to present a different set of barriers and opportunities.

AH:I co-sign Rayna.

Corny puzzle metaphor and all.

And its such a fun way to see the city and discover new places.

Whats some general advice youd give on how to check that youre being a good date, too?

AH:And remember that youre hot and awesome and this person is lucky to be out with you.
