nila87 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hey all, I'm 20 yrs old and I wanted to know if you guys could help me out. I've liked this guy at work for a few months now. He's very smart and cute and is always genuinely interested in what i have to say. But I feel so awkward around him and sometimes I get tongue-tied and end up embarassing myself cuz i like him so much. Well, a few days ago he asked me out and naturally, I was ecstatic and said yes. The only problem is that I'm kind of dreading this date because he makes me very nervous. I'm even wondering why he asked me out. I mean, I'm so awkward. And I'm really scared I'm going to screw something up and he won't like me anymore. I really really like him and the chance that something could go wrong on this date is constantly on my mind. Anyone been through the same situation? How can I relax?
whichwayisup Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Do some deep breathing and some yoga...Everything will be okay!! This guy likes you and has asked you out. If you feel nervous on the date, tell him you're feeling nervous! Hey, I remember when I first starting dating my (now he's my hubby) boyfriend - I felt sick to my stomach most of the time when I was around him. I couldn't eat!! 4 times in 4 nights we had gone out for dinner and I couldn't eat, I nibbled...I swear I thought he must have thought I had an eating disorder! Anyway, I did end up tellling him how nervous I felt and how he made me feel barfy (In a good way!!) and as soon as I told him, I remember I felt better - And then ate like a pig! He was shocked. LOL. Okay, on a more serious note - What is it about yourself that you feel is awkward? And why would you screw it up? Let's say something did go wrong - If he chose not to date you anymore, HIS loss because you don't want a guy who will run at the slightest disagreement or odd moment or two. We all have had them and survived - So don't worry! Enjoy the date, keep it light hearted, friendly and fun.
