How do you manage going on dates when you have anxiety upon meeting?

[MoniqueTLC]

Specifically if you've only spoken to them through an online dating app.

That’s why I prefer when they like me and ask me out directly because I can have anxiety about online meetings.

There’s this handsome guy who has been wanting to meet me for months already and I always postpone even though I like him. He even wanted to travel from Beijing just to have a date with me.

You can warm up by being social a bit beforehand. If you're meeting at a coffee shop, you can schedule another social appointment there before. Or you can just call a friend. Or you can just make small talk with the regulars or the staff.

Take deep breaths. And think you are gonna make a new friend
