How do I not be anxious over a date ?? So I’ve never been in a long-term relationship because I was like “I don’t belong to any man I love being single” but that could easily have been a cover for being to anxious to date or having standards that were way too high I don’t know. I went out with a friend of mine for a month a couple years ago and while he was nice and everything I just panicked and broke up with him one day while I was on vacation because I felt like he was holding me back from living elsewhere or growing on my own because I assumed I’d have to bring him along with me (??) it was confusing but I think I was just scared to be in a relationship. Now fast forward 2 years and I finally felt ready to date like at the beginning of this year one of my resolutions was to start dating I felt it was time. Then covid hit so that messed everything up and I left it alone. Anyways there was this one guy friend of mine I met back in college who I liked at the time but didn’t pursue anything with because I was nervous. We fell out of touch but I found him on Facebook later on and we reconnected. For the past year or so we’d just Snapchat each other but that was it, no deeper discussion. The last time I saw him in person too was last summer because he lives in another city for school. So the other day I was snapping him and I’m gonna be honest it was late night and I was feeling him so I was flirting with him but it was one of those things where you flirt and then the next day you kinda move on from it, even though I do find him attractive but again I think it’s my fear of getting more serious. He asked for my number because this whole time we never had each other’s numbers just social media, so I gave it to him and we chatted for a day and now today first thing he asks is if I’d like to go on a date with him in the near future and I said sure. But now I’m freaking out haha. Like I said he’s attractive and friendly and cool but I also don’t think we have that much in common so I keep going back to what I’d ideally like in a guy and what he doesn’t have so I feel like it couldn’t go long term, but at the same time it’s just one date like we could easily have the date or two and just decide it isn’t gonna work out..? As you guys can see I’m way overthinking this hahaha. Can I get some advice on this please? I feel like I’m too old to be going all over the place with this (I’m 24) but I’m still inexperienced when it comes to actual relationships and dating
