Dating advice

Dec 28, 2017, 05:22 PM

So I want to start dating and I would like some advice. I was thinking about going out and if I see some girl I like go ask for her number or something. Should I just do that? Should I just tell her she's cute? Just wondering how I should approach someone and tell them I like them. The thing is though I have a really hard time telling someone I'm interested in them. I have a lot of anxiety around people. Just going up and talking to some stranger in general is really hard to do. And if I do get someones number when should I call them? What should we do? I don't have a car and I don't know what we would do cause there's not much to do in this town anyways. I feel like asking her to come to my place and hang out would be weird or go to her place. So I don't know what to do and probably won't have anything to say so that's another thing I'm worried about. I really want to do this and I need help. Talking about this makes me anxious. Posting about something always does.

My advice would be to just calm down first. I would probably take an easy approach like you both meeting somewhere for lunch or coffee if there is a local place you can meet. Once you meet for lunch or coffee you can get into other conversations to locate "mutual interests" or connections you might share and be able to strike into other conversations from there. I would hold off on the liking or telling of interest until you get to know them better to be able to decide how you really feel about them.

Depends on how you meet someone, through friends or coworkers?

Well I guess I could do that. When I said like or interested in I wasn't trying to mean it that seriously just someone I might like to try dating. I'm just not sure where we would hang out cause it's just a bunch of stores and fast food places where I live and not really anything interesting to do. That's what I was just worried about. Well maybe I'll figure something out. My friend says I just need to put myself out there.
