How to get rid of nervousness before a date?

[Anonymous]

Maybe a couple weeks ago, my best friend had a friend that just became single. She’s very pretty and I asked her to put a word for me in which she did. She showed a picture of me to her and she said I’m cute and wants to get with me. I was texting her a decent amount for the past 2 days. I then asked her if she’d like to go to a mall and get food and chill there. I wasn’t sure if it’s a date but then remembered we both like each other so it’s basically one. I don't know why I’m so nervous randomly because I got the 2 hardest things out the way. But one thing I can think of is other than text we have no other background knowledge of each other.

Yo man, don't even sweat it, getting nervous before a date is totally normal! But you gotta chill, cuz you'll stress yourself out for no reason.

Just remember, she already said she thinks you're cute and wants to hang. She ain't gonna bail last minute. And you always got your boy to back you up if things get awkward, which they won't!

My advice - don't overthink it. Focus on having a good time, not scoring or anything serious yet. Go with the flow, make her laugh, and most of all listen to what she says too. Compliment her smile or something, girls love that cheesy stuff.

As for background, now's your chance to find out what y'all have in common. Ask her about music, shows, hobbies - find some shared interests to chat about. Doesn't gotta be deep.

And if there's awkward silence, no worries! Comment on something you see nearby to change subject easy. You got this dude, just be chill and let the convo flow natural. Texting don't mean nothing - see where the vibe takes ya in person! You'll kill it.
