I put on make up and change into a nice shirt. Make sure the laptop is propped up so the camera isn't angled at my chin or up my nose.

No, but I'm on video calls all day for work, so I'm well over fearing what I look like. Everyone looks terrible on video calls, whatever.

Sometimes it's awkward when the guy dresses up and I'm in a hoody.

It sounds like a lot of work but I like the ideas. Finding the right lighting is work. Thanks for the iPad idea. I hardly use it but could have a better camera. He just thinks I should turn on my phone camera soon as I wake up lol.

Yes I don't like it for that reason either. Video adds 10.

What do you mean by date? Like an actual date? Or talking to a friend?

This all seems like too much work.

At all? If so, how? I'm about to go on my first one. I don't like video chat in general.
