Yikes My Date is Tonight

[Deleted]

I seriously feel super awkward and uncomfortable about this whole thing, but I'll go.

Any words of encouragement ladies?

[heavenly]

Have fun and try not to stress. Just be yourself and everything else will fall into place.

[stephbfan]

Change your attitude towards the date. Just go there and have fun!!!!

I have done a number of these and it seems to get easier every time. The first one I allowed myself to get too nervous and I acted like a freak lol. So, my best advice is to not have any expectation of what he is going to be like, pick an outfit you feel great in, and not to think about it at all until you get there. I tend not to think of it as a date, but rather a meet-up. When I started doing that, I was a lot more myself and have had much better results.

I'm willing to bet all those uncomfortable feelings will disappear as soon as the date starts. Sometimes the anticipation is the worst part! Good luck and let us know how it goes

Thanks ladies, just happy hour. I'm not really stressed out or anxious about it, just a huge sense of dread. I know I should have a better attitude but I think I'm just not over the last guy at all and probably shouldn't be going on this date at all. But I would feel like an ass if I cancelled day of and I'm pretty sure I can fake my way through it well enough.

Just relax and well, if you have fun, you have fun. If you don't, it isn't end of the world. Be yourself, be polite, and don't be too self conscious.

Be open minded and be yourself!!

I think you ladies are right. Maybe by the time I get in all my caffeine for the day I'll be feeling more optimistic.

[naeljun]

Just go without any expectations and have fun.

[gozf]

I hope you have a really good time!

Worst case scenario is that you go, it's awful, and you have a hilarious story to tell us. Just go and have fun. And then report back with details!

[Deleted]

I suppose you all are right. Considering I've only ever been on three first dates in my entire life I find this to be a very odd scenario for me.

Ugh, I have no words of wisdom but I would say have a drink beforehand just to take the edge off! Good luck!

Have you figured out how relationships work yet?

Clearly I'm very confused still...

I'll go and I'm sure it won't be awful. It's just that sitting on my couch in my sweats sounds WAY more appealing

I plan to basically give him bitch face all night. I'm starting to feel better about it.
