Just wondering by is this normal? I had a date yesterday that by surprised that I wasn't especting. We have been talking for two weeks But we hung out and relaxed at my house. When we met I was excited to see him and have company. I like him and found him to be even more attractive in person.i made jokes and tried to make him feel comfortable.but for some reason when am around a guy or a guy am attracted to more so, I can't help but to feel comfortable but a bit distant in my body language ( not sitting close and appearing distant emotionally)and feel a bit nervous even though I like him. Is this normal and what can I to to change this behavior? We did cuddle in the end btw.

I feel it's normal to have a bit of a guard up, as you get to know someone. Body language will shift, naturally, with familiarity and as trust develops.
Thanks for this!

I think its pretty abnormal behaviour to not be nervous when meeting someone new whom you're attracted to. I also think its pretty abnormal to instantly let relative strangers into your personal space.

So sitting a bit "too far" at first and all the rest? Sounds pretty normal to me. Afterall, as intelligent beings we have to assess the situation for any possible dangers before being able to relax. Which you did manage to do as you mentioned that you guys cuddled later on in the evening.

As was said above, with familiarity you'll feel more comfortable around him, and it will show in your body language.

Again, your evening sounds pretty normal to me.

Sounds normal to me. It doesn't matter how attracted to someone I am, I would not immediately be interested in having them in my personal space. I was very physically chaste around my BF when I got to hangout with him in person even after I had spent several weeks talking to him on the phone. We had to slowly inch ourselves into being more and more physical. I remember just holding his hand for the first time was an exciting, and heart pounding, experience. LOL
