Lately I've gone on several first dates where the woman was visibly nervous and anxious despite early genuine compliments and low pressure conversation topics. Location was always someplace public like a Cafe or Bookstore. All dates were women I met in person initially, not on dating apps. I'm wondering if people are used to more conversation in advance because of apps? I've never used them.
This also seems to be more of a theme recently. Any advice on how to reassure or ease nervousness?
