I am going on a date this week

[btay]

And I am freaking myself out.  I have not gone on a date in 10 years.  I was terrible at dating then and I can't imagine I've gotten any better.  Anyone have any tips to control nervous chatter?

Have fun!! I'm nervous about this stuff myself! I like the advice of just having fun,not looking for your next husband, I'll have to remember that

I am meeting him over lunch break, so no shots allowed

That may actually be better, alcohol would make me more chatty!
Maybe have some subjects in mind to talk about, some questions to ask, so you're not struggling to fill any silences.

Good luck btay! I'm pretty sure I sucked hard at my first post-divorce date, but I'll give it another go at some point!

[mommadukes]

GOOD LUCK!! dating is definitely hard!

[doglove]

Good luck btay. Deep breaths and try to remember you're there to see if you like him and how you feel while you're on the date!

No advice but I hope you have fun!

Had my 2nd and 3rd date this weekend with a guy. Not sure how I feel about him. I do know he is not a good kisser though. I was hoping that it was just ackward on the second date but no after the 3rd date it is just bad.

That was what I was afraid of. I hate having to do the dumping.... I can't tell him why... he is a nice guy.

Sorry I don't feel a connection. You don't have to stay with someone because they're nice. That's what's great about dating - you go on a few and then decide whether you want to continue. Totally normal to decide not to continue dating someone.

It was meh. The guy was really nice, but I felt no connection. I'm still on the fence whether to give him one more shot
