When the excitement of a night out with a special someone is on your mind, your friends will be the first to know.

They'll help with every last detail of the big night, from the location to the outfit and even the person you're going with. Friends know you best, after all.

Sit back, relax, and let your squad do the hard work. They'll be there for you.

1. Making the plan.

Whoever brings up the topic of a date gets to make the plan and decide what to do — it's tradition. But it's just as exciting no matter what end of the decision you're on.

2. Breaking the news to your squad.

When you've got a date, your bestie is the first to know, obviously.

3. So. Many. Questions.

Where are you going? What will you wear? What's your bae's life story?

4. And so begins the journey of selecting the perfect outfit...

Warning: this may involve shopping, raiding your BFF's closet, or breaking out your new pair of heels.

5. And hairstyle...

Leaving your hair down is a classic look, but an occasion such as this deserves more than something basic.

6. And makeup.

Pinterest is basically your new best friend. And Sephora.

7. Confirming plans as the excitement begins all over again.

Yes, this is actually happening!

8. Making extra sure to get plenty of rest the night before.

Beauty sleep is an essential part of preparing for an occasion such as this, so don't forget to catch some z's.

9. Waking up as gracefully as every other day...

That was sarcasm — waking up is never graceful unless it happens in a Disney movie.

10. Until you remember that it's date night.

Round 3 of excitement begins!

11. Checking the clock every few minutes as the day drags by.

Work/school/etc has never gone by so slowly.

12. Getting pumped as you're getting ready for the big night.

You've got your outfit ready, your playlist on, and your besties on speed dial in case of a fashion emergency.

13. Shaving extra thoroughly so your legs can be as smooth as your flirting skills.

Or waxing, if you're dedicated.

14. Finding your favorite bra for that additional confidence boost.

Guys will never know what a big difference a simple bra can make.

15. Finally getting the hair, makeup, and outfit combo just right.

You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing the hard part is out of the way.

16. Checking yourself out in the mirror one last time before bae picks you up.

"Yep, I look perfect."

The squad would approve.

17. Your heart beats just a little bit faster when you hear the knock on the door.

Now the real fun begins.

18. Riding that endorphin boost all the way through the night.

Whether you're chatting over drinks or dancing the night away, it'll be the time of your life.

19. Reporting to your besties as soon as you're home.

Not that they've been stalking you on snapchat the entire time anyways.

20. Making plans for the next date.

And maybe even the wedding.
