Search Results: nervous at a first date

So I have this girl that’s one of my close friends we do flirt quite a lot but she’s 7 years older than me so we both said the age thing is too much and made it clear that we’re just friends which is cool with me. Anyway in the past she told me that I’m her first ever real guy friend, I asked why is that? She said that all the guys she was ever friends with made the move on her or got girlfriends and they stop them from seeing her. Which she said was really hurtful. I said if I ever got a girlfriend that told me to drop my friends I wouldn’t let it happen. But she said it’s different aswell when your guy friend gets a girlfriend that she wouldn’t feel comfortable going on our mate dates or texting me all the time like we do. I told her not to be silly but I’ve started dating someone and told my friend about. I was a bit nervous to tell her but she was really supportive and said that she’s happy for me.

However she’s being really distant with me. In college she’s not joking around with me as much or texting me. She’s told me secrets she’s never told anyone and I’ve done the same so i have that trust in her that I don’t have with anyone else and feels shit to think she’s pushing me away as her friend. Has this ever happened to anyone and what do I do?

I’ve been talking to this guy for almost two weeks now and he asked me out on a coffee date. I said yes but then asked if we could meet up and hang out on campus instead because I’d feel more comfortable. He said it wasn’t a problem and that we could get food from the cafeteria etc. He keeps calling it a date but I personally think it’s more of a meet up. Thoughts? Also any tips would be appreciated, it’s my first meet up/date and I’m a little nervous :)
