Big day? Fighting with insecurity? Got a hot date? ARE the hot date? Starting a new project, school or job? Going to do something where everyone's watching? Coming out ? Just got tested or asked for what you really, really wanted in bed for the first time? Getting yourself out of a bad relationship ? Doing something major, all on your own?
