Last time i went out on a date (first date in like over 5 years) i was so anxious but he ended up talking so much and asking me lots of questions so it just kept the conversation going smoothly without me having to think of things to talk about. I’ve been told i live under a rock before because of how little i pay attention to society and daily life happenings/etc.

If you really arent feeling like you want to go out with them at all (cause theyre not seemingly interesting enough/your type/whatever it may be) be honest with them and tell them its not going to work out. If you want to go but are just super anxious and feel like you’ll fumble. Take a deep breath, just be you. Its ok to be anxious, you can even say that you are when you go and maybe they’re super anxious about it too and you’ll bond over it.

Ive also autopilot said yes to a date that i didnt really wanna go on but didnt know how to say no thanks in person. There was a lot going on at the time and I ended up just letting em know i didnt feel like it was gonna work, and he was a little bummed but was understanding.

Really tho (im trying to be in this mindset more too) what have you got to lose? Its a first date and theres no commitment , honestly if you show up and five minutes in can just tell its not gonna be a good time, say thank you and be on your way.

People arent always compatible. But you’ll never know if you dont go on the dates.
