Hi everyone!
I’m having my second first date today, and of course I’m a little nervous. Maybe with time I won’t feel this way anymore, but right now it’s a mix of nerves and excitement. I’m actually looking forward to meeting new people.
After my first date, I feel more confident in myself. It went well, the guy was nice, but honestly a bit self-centered, so I let it go. The attraction was there, but since I’m looking for a long-term relationship, I’ve decided not to invest in people who don’t align with my values. At first that felt discouraging, but in the end it was a win: I put myself to the test, and I passed by letting go.
Now I’m heading into this new date with a more positive mindset. It’s only my second date this year with a another guy, but so far I’ve had good matches and no bad experiences (knock on wood).
How do you handle nerves before a first date? Do they get easier over time?
