Be up front about wanting to go slow. That’s a reasonable request from anyone, not just someone with OCD. It might also help to feel more in control. Rather than waiting to see if they put their arm around you, see how you’re feeling, and if you want touch, snuggle up to them. You might feel anxious at first. Breath. Don’t do compulsions. Sit with the anxiety until it lessens. Whether you touch or not, don’t put so much pressure on tomorrow. Great dates don’t always involve touching. There’s plenty of time for that.

Good luck brittches. As pureolife said above, just be open and honest about wanting to go slow. My intrusive thoughts come and go, and have done for around 15 years, but I remember a few months into my new relationship I had a bad night, which was a in turn a bad month, and I was open and honest with her. She didn't understand but you supported me, and 10 years later we're still together. Good luck.

Urination-focused ocd?
I’m going out on a double date tomorrow with the guy I’m speaking to. I’m deathly afraid of peeing myself. Last time I went out with him and my friends it felt like I was going to (the feelings/sensations weren’t there all the time, only when I wasn’t distracted) and recently the feeling that I might pee myself is worse than ever before. It’s like with my anxiety nausea (I also have a fear of being sick in public) but instead of just nausea, it’s the sensation of possibly peeing myself too. The sensation of it is scary even if I went to the bathroom 10 minutes before. I keep getting images in my mind of me accidentally peeing myself and the guy I’m speaking to leaving me because he thinks I’m a weirdo😭 Does anyone else experience this? Or have any tips on how to manage it?😭

This is too much to handle
I’m going to a waterpark with my friend in a few days. And I have very severe harm OCD that causes me to worry I’ll touch someone inappropriately. This is going to sound so fucking silly but because my hips moved during a hug one time I’m afraid I’m gonna fucking thrust on someone (bruh wtf lol) and anytime I walk by someone my hips will move a bit or my leg will stretch out too far when I’m walking and I’ll feel like I fucking like it. And I’ll think I was just trying to do a thrust or something (it sounds silly when I type it out and to be fair it is lmao) and I’ll freak out. I honestly don’t know what to do. I feel like a fucking psycho.
