A man I work with had asked me for dinner, we cross paths at work but have different roles. I don't know him well at all, we've chatted in person but never in any depth.
We've been messaging constantly for the past few days.
He's 11 years older than me.
The anxiety and anticipation is literally putting my stomach in knots. The awkwardness of the first "hiii". God! It genuinely makes me feel sick.
Cringe is a good word for it.
It is making me want to cancel. I think it's because I sort of know him, but not really. And we've been messaging, and then finally we're going to meet. It's hard for me to articulate.
Does anyone please have any words of wisdom? I am so close to cancelling.
