Question: I just developed a slight cold within the past few days. I don't have a fever or cough, just an annoying runny nose. I also have a date tomorrow and would like to feel better by then. Any home remedies would be appreciated. thank you.

Get some saline mist and snort it as often as you need. The rhino virus (the cause of your cold) can't survive in a moist environment. You will be blowing your nose more, but the virus will be on its way out.
Gargle with warm salt water if your throat is sore from the post nasal drip (snot running down the back of your throat).
Keep drinking plenty of fluids to keep your system flushed out and moist.
Eat foods higher in sodium than you would normally. Chicken soup and potato chips are good choices.
Get plenty of rest. Your body is stressed right now. You may even want to consider postponing your date. Let your date know you have a cold and don't want to spread it around. Your date should appreciate that. Besides, how much fun can you have if you haven't been feeling on top of your game?

chicken soup
