After a string of useless and loveless relationships I have spent the past 2 years single, taking up new hobbies, concentrating on friends/career etc. However I have recently met a man at my sports club. There is an obvious physical attraction between us and he makes an effort to speak to me alone when possible (difficult in a small, male dominated sports hall!). We have trained together as "partners" (in a sporting sense) and we always have a good laugh. We have lots in common and I DO like him. Other people in the group have picked up on the "chemistry" too. This morning he asked me what my husband did for a living I confirmed I was single and he confirmed he is also single after having "married" and "divorced" the army.
As we were leaving today he asked if we could meet up away from the sports hall and maybe go for a drink. Naturally I have agreed and we have swapped numbers but I'm so scared I will cock it up. I can't stop thinking about him and I'm already getting paranoid thinking he will have changed his mind by next and then I'll look like a fool etc. How do I chill out about it all and on a more practical note, what would you wear for a first "date" with someone? It's been that long! Should I resist the urge to text him etc and let him do all the "chasing" or is that childish?
