Don’t over think, what if this guy is the next potential one? As a guy it’s my job to calm the situation if she feels nervous. Taking her someone she feels relaxed, ordering food she enjoys, being in an environment where it feels safe. I think those are all keys to a good date. Because if you cancel he’s going to assume that you’re not interested and you don’t like him that way. He’ll assume she’s flaking and she friend zoned me. He may not talk to you again, all guys are different but I’m just giving my two cents on the situation.
What does canceling accomplish except to feed your fears? Try to do some meditation or breathing techniques to calm yourself, and go have fun! Dates are meant to be fun and an opportunity to learn about each other, not to panic over. It will also help to confess how nervous you are, because he probably is too! He's probably worried that you will think HE'S weird!
No don't... get out of your comfort zone.. get dolled up or whatever makes you feel pretty. Ask your friends to help you out what to wear.. sometimes you get so used to not wanting to go on a date after a break up... as for anxiety I can understand take it slow maybe go somewhere you're used too that makes you comfortable
Nerves are a normal part of life, ask yourself this do you want to spend the rest of your life thinking about what could have been if only I did this
Thats why jumping into the deep end is so important in life you'll never know who you are or what you are capable of unless you fo and/or get what you want unless you take a chance and im afraid to tell you that you can't take being nervous about it away, dont let being afraid run your life or you will question it until you die
Good luck
Keep the date short & casual in a public place, life a café, and have a plan B if things aren't going well. For example, your friend calls you at a specified time and needs your urgent help.
Other than that try to relax and look your best and go with flow of the conversation.
Your lucky you can get a date, There is a lot People who have hardly ever been on a date, Like me.
It's normal to be scared so don't think of it as something like a job interview, Think of it as you doing something you like doing and just be yourself.
No! Why would you do that to yourself? You never know if this person will be the best thing that ever happened to you, he may be not what you want. But you won't know unless you try! Better to know then to regret and wonder later on...
Don't cancel , calm down , think rationally , its just a date , it doesn't matter what you wear , he asked you out , just go out , be yourself , and stop over thinking all tiny detail , its really not that big a deal.
go on the date, you have to learn to handle your anxiety. If it really doesn'twork for your timing, like you are not at your best/pmsing, then reschedule to a time/date that suits you. But don't ditch him from fear... not yet.
Do not cancel and don't overthink it. Just try to be yourself and have fun with the date and get to know him better. How old are you two?
It is also ok to say to him that you are a little nervous... he also might be! Have fun!
By avoiding failure, which is what you're doing, you fail by default. Failure is a lack of success, and nobody succeeds without trying.
Being nervous is good. It means you're doing something important. Invite and accept the nervousness (some people call it excitement) instead of fighting it or thinking it's wrong.
Or you could cancel and sit at home... in your comfort zone... where nothing ever happens. Your choice.
No don't cancel your just having nervous jitters. Go out you owe it to yourself to have a little fun. I don't know you but you seem like a real sweetheart just be yourself and you be fine and above everything else have fun. If you can please give us an update on how it went
No, just don't stress over it. Keep it light and casual like meeting a friend.
If you know what you will be doing on the date, let that guide what you will wear. Seeing a ball game or playing mini-golf calls for different outfits than attending a concert.
I wouldn't cancel just don't put so much importance on it. Just be very casual and laid back. Just have fun. No pressure just fun and relaxed
no! go for it! you never know what can happen, this could be a new chapter to your life. or not. who knows! not you if you don't go...
Go on your date and be yourself. Many girls try too hard to impress guys and the guys end up going for down to earth girls they can respect and be comfortable with. Go on your date and be yourself. Dress comfortably.
@Gloree That's a very good point!
@Jamie05rhs thanks
You're welcome!
Don't cancel because you're nervous. Do tell someone where you're going and who you're meeting. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hopefully he's not a murderer.
Never cancel out of nerves, go on the date understand nerves are 100% normal and your date is likely nervous too!
Omg no girl just go out there and have fun.
Enjoy the time get to know people and don't look at it as a date if it makes you nervous pretend your going out with a friend. Good luck 😁👍
