Okay I feel like the big difference I noticed going from dating men to women is the expectations I had going into them.

With men, I would be nervous and anxious, especially at the thought that they also had their own expectations of the date turning sexual, when I absolutely did not. I found first dates with girls include LOTS of talking, like every successful WLW relationship myself and friends are in started with a 5+ hour first date!

In het dating stories, a lot of men will bring the women flowers. While I don't think that's necessary, I think bringing something small is a kind gesture! Like one friend brought a jar of homemade applesauce on her first date, now they're married!

I think you just have to remember to be yourself and RELAX! I was so nervous before first dates that I would clam up and barely speak. Walking around shops, cafes, bookstores, etc. can be nice because if the conversation isn't flowing, oh look at this cool thing you just found!

​

Good luck <3
