And he seems to like me too. I know because he tells me, lol. We have been Facebook friends for about a year now. He randomly message me last week, and we have been talking ever since. We have not met in real life yet. We were going to meet today. And I, being the nervous idiot i am, backed out because I was kinda nervous and didn't want to deal with those feelings (he's really cool, I don't know why I was nervous, I think I also literally didn't feel like it today... :/). I told him how I was feeling and he said we can take it slow. And at my pace. How nice! We will be meeting next weekend.

I hope I still remember how to date. I haven't dated, actually dated, a nice guy, in a long time. Come to think of it, I've always winged it when it came to dating. Any pointers? Encouragement? I'm worried I might already be too "insert negative adjective here." I hope I'm not being too clingy. Over the past few days I've been like, all over the emotional map at the thought of dating him (yes, no, maybe, etc). Plus, we need to meet. That's where my presence comes in lol.

I might want things to be a certain way. I know thats not possible. I am just a worrier and like some aspects of control in my life, and HAVEN'T PROPERLY DATED IN A LONG TIME!

Ok, well I'm going to do something fun and try not to worry. Take it one day at a time.

I am so happy for you I wish I could give you advice... I haven't had a date for many yrs but I think if you just be yourself you will be fine goodluck

Meet in a public place. Don't move too fast with sex or emotions, take your time to get to know him. Put your best self forward. Have fun! I hope he's what you want him to be.

[tabenda]

Just have fun and don't rush anything! Enjoy the date and don't worry about what's next.

As already advised just meet up and have some fun. Try very hard to not think down the road ..

Hopefully things will be easy and enjoyable for you both, Or maybe you wont care much for him in real life ....possible he has lousy hygiene and hasn't seen a toothbrush in months. lol Just saying

If its a bust .. Just think that since its been awhile since you dated you got the first one outta the way.

Good luck

[Crazy Hitch]

Thank you all! We'll see.

TishaBuv, Thank you for saying don't move too fast with sex or emotions! Good reminder.

[divine1966]

Oh for sure. No sex! Build friendship first. No sex until they are deep feeling between you two. Until then just go slow and be friends
