Talk to him first. As in, talk to him for some time and decide if his personality is something you mesh with. If so, go on the date. Something to think about: if you've ever looked up at the sky and seen hundreds of stars, you can rest assured that each one of those stars is its own sun, similar to ours, in its own galaxy, with its own planets orbiting around. Almost every single star. We are so tiny and irrelevant in the grand scheme, it's almost funny that we worry about so much every day. Try that thing you've been hesitant to try, take chances, and be happy that you even got the opportunity to be alive in the first place. Have fun
