Aaargh. First 'date' tomorrow and I'm petrified.

I'm absolutely petrified. I have been single for a long, long time and never really gone on a date.

I was at a friend's party, was slightly very tipsy and ended up kissing this man Blush I would never have done that sober.

We've arranged to meet tomorrow evening and I am beginning to feel really anxious, especially as I have already kissed him. I don't want to lead him on but I'm not sure if I want to go any further with him, but he's perfectly nice.

Am I overthinking?

Yes you’re overthinking

Just go, it might be nice

Go. You’ve nothing to lose. It’s an evening out and a chance to get to know a new interesting person. If at the end you still feel the same way, just be honest and said you kissed him at the party because you found him attractive but aren’t sure you’re looking for a relationship at the moment and don’t want to lead him on.

Definitely go. I went on a first date not really feeling sure if I was doing the right thing and overthinking stuff. I agreed to a second date and I’m so glad I did. Something just clicked on the second date and we’ve not looked back since. Been together quite a while now and am very happy. So glad I went on that first one. Give it a chance. What do you have to lose?

How many drinks is it polite to stay for? Two? Three?

You should stay for 2 I'd say, but who knows, you might like him and stay for more! Wink

Stay for 2 at least and see how you feel.

I used to get nervous for dates but now I remind myself that I am going yo see if I like them not if they like me.

You're overthinking! Just treat it like an outing and aim to enjoy yourself, let him worry about what he thinks, you just have fun :)

SuperSuperSuper · 16/11/2018 22:58

Even if you don't click in "that" way, you may make a new good friend. You've nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

CopperKettle11 · 17/11/2018 21:19

I was you a few months ago and I just went for it.....best thing I ever did...not because I saw the guy again but gave me the confidence to go on other dates and now have found someone I really quite like! Good luck!
