I am absolutely abysmal at dating

[Adherence]

hard to admit b/c its kinda taboo but, im just not good at it. i get nervous, i overcompensate, and i feel like i never really let the other person in. any advice on this? i feel like being honest is good but i also dont wanna emotionally dump before/when thats not appropriate 

 

tried apps and stuff but i cant getpast just matching, not sure how to get from lots of matches/likes to actually going on dates, and enjoying them too hopefully.

Can you please provide more detail?

What exactly do you do when you’re nervous?

How do you overcompensate?

What do you mean by not letting the other person in?

Agree with Gebidozo that youre being a bit vague.

But one thing you said there is important. Getting too personal on the first few dates is a no no usually. It depends on the pace of the relationship but if youre swapping stories of family traumas early on it turns into a counselling session and the attraction dies, normally. It's crossing a boundary.
