Its my first time meeting him, what are some tips to be not awkward?

[Anonymous]

So I’ve only been talking to this guy for a week and we’re going out. It’s not a romantic date just a regular friend thing. I hope he doesn’t make a move cause I don’t see him in that way lol. He’s also mutual friends with some of mine, yet I’ve never met him before. But I’ve been assured that he’s a great guy and not creepy.

I don’t usually go out with guys I’ve never met alone, so I fear I’m a bit awkward. We speak well over text tho but I know irl is different. I also find my social skills to be lacking ever since COVID, since I still haven’t been out meeting people as I used to. So any tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You have to remember how you talk with him through text, thats the way your comfortable with. So just think about it int he same way. He is the same guy you talk to. You need to stay calm, stay relaxed and maybe bring up a topic yiu had previously brought up. Like "oh hey remember that funny video you shared that is still hilarious". So talk about things you usually talk about, that will help break the ice. And you both can start a flowing conversation.

Just treat him like you would a female friend. Don’t flirt with him and don’t flirt back if he hits on you.

Where are you meeting and what activities are you all doing?
