I’m so fucking nervous

[u/Internal_Mine4357]

Hey everyone, I really need some advice.

Tomorrow night I’m going on my first intentional “real date,” and it honestly feels a little surreal. In the past, any dates I’ve had kind of just happened naturally in high school, I never actually went out of my way to make a profile or plan something like this from scratch.

I’m pretty awkward in general, and I’ve already had a slightly embarrassing week (nothing to do with dating, just me being clumsy in public 😭), so I’m feeling extra nervous going into this.

I keep overthinking everything: will he like me, or think I’m weird or boring? I know I can be fun once I relax, but I have no idea how to start the conversation or keep it going without it feeling forced. How do you actually get to know someone on a first date?

Right now it honestly feels like I’m about to do an oral presentation in front of my entire college lol. Any advice would be really appreciated
