I've got a cold that makes my voice sound very hoarse and manly. I've got a date tonight with a guy I really like and need my throat to be better before then. I've been drinking tea constantly and taking hot steam baths, but nothing works! Does anyone have any other ideas?

LOTS & LOTS of water. Get those kidneys working overtime to produce more white blood cells so you get beter faster, AND take some Vitamins!
To be honest, if I was on a date and the girl had a hoarse voice, I would NOT mind at all. I would understand completely. Hell, I'd be impressed that you still went out on a date even tho you had a cold! It's kind of a nice compliment to the guy.
Good luck, I hope you feel better!!!

Make this combo...
Lemon Juice
2 Tbs Honey
1 shot of Scotch Whiskey
2 crushed paracetamol.
Top up with boiling water and drink!
For the throat try Vicks Chloraseptic
and also try a Vics vaporub sauna..get a bowl of hot water and put a tsp of Vaporub in the bowl stick a towel over your head and inhale like a bad boy!
For your voice, see if you can buy some vocalzone tablets, singers use them to keep their voices from going hoarse

You are doing right things to make your cold go away. Taste a lemon and then mix honey and hot tea together you'll feel better in no time

Not sure what country you in, but here in S.A we have med lemon which helps or a throat lossange.
But i've been told that guys sometimes think it's cute when your voice is all weird.
He might just want to hug you a little closer to make you feel better :-)
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

try to talk very little, and try this
1 tsp of apple cider vinegar (HEINZ))
3-4 table spoons of Honey
1 cup HOT water
stir it well and drink about every 4 hours
it cleans your system out and really helps infections, colds, diareah and many other things such as sore throat! good luck and tastes like apple juice

If you have a cold there's not much you can do other than drink lots of fluids and rest. I suggest you postpone your date. You'll only make yourself worse and possibly give the germs to your date. If he's a good guy he'll understand.

send him a letter that says you have no voice at all but really do not wish to cancel the date if he is still interested. then you leave it up to him to reschedule for when you are well, or you can be perfectly silent all evening, and just listen to him.
or you can try drinking lemon juice - but that mainly helps with throat problems caused by congestion.

hot tea with lemon and honey.
Palpate under your chin andjaw for any noticeable bumps or swollen of glands, if you do go and see a doctor the next day to prevent it from getting worse.
