Guys I need your help. I am 20 and going on my first date tonight. I have never dated anyone or kissed anyone before and I am terrified!! I have social anxiety so that has lead to me never dating but now I met someone I like and we have been hanging out and now we are going to go to a festival and then watch a drive in movie in his yard. I feel like I'm about to die from anxiety. He has had at least 2 girlfriends so I know if he kisses me it won't be his first kiss and I'm so scared. What if he kisses me and I'm bad at it and he doesn't like me anymore. I am an awkard person. I am not sure I can do this

you can absolutely do this! i know it’s hard especially with the anxiety constantly there trying to convince you otherwise, but you’re going to be fine!! Ive felt this same way but I usually find that once i’m in the moment the anxiety subsides…I know you can do this, rooting for you! 💕

aweee it’s all going to be okay! 🤍 if you are not ready for your first kiss, that’s okay! do it at your speed! and if you do and it’s awkward, then it’s awkward! i’ve had a lot of awful kisses and i look back and just laugh. everyone has had awkward kisses. i am a very awkward person and i embrace it. who wants to be perfect all the time! just try to enjoy yourself and have fun!! that sounds like an awesome date! you got this. stay safe 💖

It’s going to be just fine! It’s completely normal to be nervous but you have to imagine that he is also nervous too! If he tries to kiss you, let him lead and don’t over think it. Just relax and let the conversation flow and get to know eachother. Ask questions about school, life, family, pets ect. That sounds like he planned a really nice first date and sounds like a great guy! Good luck🥰🥰

Thanks for the advice guys!! I went and I had a lot of fun :) he didn't kiss me but he held my hand and put his arm around me and hugged me and that was all fine! He invited me to hang out on Saturday with him so I guess it must have gone well! I'm still nervous for if he kisses me mainly bc I haven't kissed anyone and I know he has and so I'm afraid he will think I'm weird for not having kissed anyone but I am going to take this as a win! You all calmed my nerves a lot though, so thanks :)

As everyone else has said you will be just fine. And speaking from a guys POV , it wouldn’t matter if you kissed like a walrus he’s gonna like it! Trust me on this! Now smile and go do your thing!

i’ve felt this same way before and in the moment the anxiety really does go away! if you’re ready for your first kiss then 100% go for it, don’t let your anxiety take it away from you! you got this, enjoy your date!!

Aw is normal to feel that way . Everything will be fine . Just enjoy the time and be natural. Good luck 🤞🏼
