A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

ok so last night i met this guy through mutual friends. he is really nice and wants to take me out on a date. the only problem is me. every time i go on a date i get extremely anxious before hand. like i cant eat etc. im 21 and i have never been kissed so this contributes to this anxiety. i push most guys away after the second date in order to alleviate this anxiety. is it normal to feel so nervous? what are first kisses generally like? and is there any way to calm myself down? i could really use the help.

Hello!

Ya being nervous is normal. For me, women ive seen get nervous around me cause im tall, bigger, etc. However, what they dont know is that I get nervous too. Really all do is tell myself just to be myself and not worry and go with the flow of things and not stress about every movement or every word of a convo. Breaking the ice is huge and a good step...i always used to start out by saying somethin funny but that can easily backfire lol. If he senses ur tense, he may be tense too and vice versa. So, before the date watch somethin funny thatll keep u loose. Eat something lite so youre not starving and can focus a little bit. Also, if this guy is a gentlemen he wont kiss u on first date or attempt to do so. If he does, use your best judgment. But believe me if u like him and he likes you...that part is damn easy and things just usually click naturally. Have fun.

petina1 agony auntYou probably get nervous because you don't know him, only through friends. Getting to know someone as a friend before dating makes situations a bit different. You are only afraid of the unknown. Just try to enjoy the night and not what he means to you, as it's early days.
