I have a date tomorrow and I’m anxious

[wombatsanddating]

I’m excited but very anxious. We haven’t yet set a time so that’s making me more anxious, and the person I’m going on a date with is working most of today so they probably won’t reply until later. Doesn’t help that I’m autistic.

It’s only my third date ever. I’m a bit of a late starter. I only got interested in dating last year. So everything is very new to me.

My date just cancelled as they still have a cold. Oh well. Should be meeting up next week instead.

It's a good sign that they made a new date. Have fun.

Good luck next week OP!

I'm sorry it got cancelled! Just wanted to say that although dates can be nerve wrecking, just always remember, they're only people and you've nothing to lose so try to relax and enjoy it. I always quite enjoyed the awful dates because I knew I'd have a cracking time telling the story to friends afterwards and having a laugh about something my date or I did that was cringey.

I always just take it as an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. I try not to think further than that. Good luck

This is great advice.

Thanks guys.

I know I need to see it as just an opportunity to meet people and stuff, but I just can’t help being so anxious and awkward. Hopefully it’s not too obvious lol.
