I'm only ever nervous until the "Birthday" singers start singing. ( I fib to the wait staff and tell them it's her birthday.) That way, no matter what happens, we get Cake!
I have had a ton of first dates recently. Even the ones that went really well I didn't get a second date. Ended up with a couple "friends". How do you know during the date if the girl isn't interested so you don't get your hopes up? It just seems like girls lie every time and pretend like they enjoy the date. It also seems like a lot of them are shopping and no one is good enough. What's your take?
@king_casanova Never assume too much on a first date because it's just a meet up. Also go in there with your own standards and don't be afraid to cross a girl off if she doesn't reach them. Thirdly, do not put all your eggs in one basket and have a few girls who you are dating, there are so many wonderful girls out there, that pinning all your hopes on one and then have her fall short of expectations is silly.
Nope, not at all. I just meet them in person, chat with them & get to know them.
but usually ( yeah, this is the sad, disappointing & pathetic part ) once they meet me in person,... for the most part, they probably end up thinking I'm not what they had in mind ( picky ) & never see me again. I just shake my head & think "Whatever". Some are okay, some are like "Whatever".
While I'm confident enough, I can be a little wary on the first date. I'm not so worried of someone being dangerous or anything. Just a little cautious of strangers.
I've never been on a date. Lads used to be like, "Will you go out with me?" or "Will you be my girlfriend?" and it was a yes, or no. Probably why none of them worked out because I didn't get to know them first like you would on dates.
Yes but not as nervous as I used to be. With most women I go on dates with, I know they won't be interested in a 2nd one, so I really have nothing to lose.
It's been a long while since my last first date before my boyfriend & I became serious about our relationship. I remember calming down my dates when they were nervous.
To some small extent maybe, but I usually get over it rather quickly, especially if we find some common ground. I can pretty easily lose myself in a good conversation.
Most people (male or female) feel nervous when they go on their first date because at that time they don't possess that confidence and experience to talk to their dating partner.

Of course... But isn't that half the fun? Who wants to go on a first date that you're not excited enough about to be nervous?
me on a first date "I know he saw my pictures online, and complimented my appearance but what if he thinks I'm not cute anymore" I kid you not haha.
This👌🏽 I thought I was the only one haha
Nope, i've had to go on so many first dates that it went very quickly from exiting to routine to mundane to downright disinterest.

Yes, if I'm really into that person and I want them to like me
I was shaking!

Definitely

No by the time I have reached 49 I have it all under control - Only joking I nearly wet myself.
I'm an introvert and unless there is an instant connection, I feel kinda awkward
Yes. Even if it's someone I don't yet feel attracted to, I get nervous and self-conscious.

I only voted yes because I sort of get nervous a bit hoping she doesn't hate the place I picked for a first date.
Yeah I get nervous, especially when I wait for her to show up, but I relax more as the date goes on
Or even to call to ask for the date in the first place. Of course, this was way back when our phones were actually WIRED into a wall.
Of course. Hell, I'm nervous even talking to anyone I find remotely attractive, regardless of whether or not I have interest.
