Tips for nervousness and shyness in the company of man I am interested in ..

[herecomesthesundododo]

I’ve recently joined a group and when I arrived with a friend, a man that I have always found attractive had also joined. My friend knows him and introduced us for the first time. I am 50 and divorced btw. He is also divorced and 55.
I was a blabbering mess. I went red and mumbled something while he was east and chatty and funny.

now he is extremely attractive and when we were young would have been described as gorgeous’ He still is but while I am
fairly confident , I am average in attractiveness and feel he might never look at me like that.
im normally confident, chatty, outgoing and have been described as fun to be around and interesting but despite all the work I’ve done on myself, I can’t help but feel like I’m out of his league .
any tips please?

Honestly, invite him for a coffee, at least you'll know asap is he going to be the man or not

Your post is making me think of how DS got his first girlfriend when he was still very shy and inexperienced. The woman he'd been chatting with online walked into the bar they'd arranged to meet at and (his words) she was so out of his league he knew he didn't stand a chance, so he decided to just relax and really enjoy that one night with her. By the end of the evening she told him that was the best date she'd had in ages. They ended up dating for nearly a year. He said if he'd thought he stood a chance, he'd have felt nervous.

Can you borrow his mindset? Tell yourself he's so out of your league nothing could ever happen so you may as well relax and really enjoy his company. Then see how things develop from there.
