Just wondering since I'm watching this TV show right now where the protagonist is so anxious about going on a date with a "real person."

So, do you get nervous when going on dates?

I've never been on a date with an opposite sex before so I think I'll be very nervous.. I have a feeling that I'll probably mess my first date. I hope to go with someone mature, very calm and composed.

I'm past dating now, but when I was younger I didn't get particularly nervous no. A little sure, but not enough for me to describe myself as nervous.

A decent show if you want to watch dates succeeding and failing is "first dates". It's oftentimes quite amusing, the things people come out with and the amount of people who have opinions of themselves that are so above themselves are shocking.

One thing I like about it is how often the ones who you think will be assholes are lovely and the ones you think will be nice are not so good.

Of course, the first moment I touched my partner's hand, my mind was going blank. I tried to open a conversation by asking about the topic of her daily life and what was going on her lately. As time went by, I got used it. I'm no longer nervous when have a date with girl, becaus I know what I should do. And, I want to date you, Claire. ;)

Not nervous, I just overthink everything and immediately regret any action I take during the date.

I think am I being too forward, too lame, too boring, too aggressive, the list goes on.

I always think they're being bored by me, traditional dates are hell for me.

Dates where you're not involved in complete direct conversation are much easier, like watching a movie.



Also Claire did u respond to that guy who confessed to you in his thread?

I havent been on any dates yet. My relationships have been working different ways so far. I would likely be nervous if i really like the person since well id want things to go well and i havent been on dates before so i wouldnt know how to carry it out sometimes.

No. I put her in her place from the start. I ask her if she's going to put out. She has 3 seconds to answer, when that time is done I'm out.

She isn't Isla anyway.

I get nervous when I have an eye contact with a female. Dates are out of question.

I'm only 18, I haven't even went on a date. The people my age who are actually in a relationship usually don't go on dates and I'm not even looking for one. Honestly I'd prefer to not go on a date. Watching Netflix together sounds like a better way to spend time with a girlfriend than going on a traditional date. If you're not enjoying yourself then it kind of defeats the purpose. Dating someone to meet them also sounds like a bad idea for me.

What is did ''date'' you speak of?

seriously though, yes, but not to a point where it hinders my ''normal'' facade.

I do overthink it though after the date is over, when I think of the things I did and the things I could have done better.

That said, I have never been on ''traditional dates'', usually just something casual.

Tbh, I've never gone on dates to get to know a stranger romantically. It's always just kind of happened and then we've gone out on "dates", so maybe that's why I've never really felt nervous. Maybe if I did date someone in the traditional sense I would feel nervous.

Of course there'll always be a little nervousness, that's only healthy. You think of what can go wrong, how they liked it and all that. More than that? Nah, putting too much weight on that is only going to make you go crazy.

Even if you do research, things can go wrong. Doesn't give you a failsafe that makes everything go according to plan.

I'm not sure if you got my terrible joke... but yes, if things can go wrong it will most likely go wrong, one should able to adapt when things go under. Which is something you can only gain through experience, so it's better to just do it than to cower, thinking of what could go wrong.

Many times. With mom and my friends. Is date just only limited and applicable to opposite sex? If that's what you think, then you aren't an open-minded person.

I think they mean date in the romantic sense rather than the "lunch date" sense. So your mum or friends isn't a good example.

"Yes"

I'm not really cut out to answer this because I've been on only one "date", back in highscool. Not really sure was it a date or not. Anyway, I chose yes because I was very nervous at that time.

Are you nervous about an upcoming date, Claire?

To answer your question, people generally get nervous when trying to make the date go as perfectly as possible (especially the first few dates). Part of this involves thinking too much about what can go wrong. Haven't been on a date myself but this is what I've observed from my friends.

but then again. I don't get so many dates these days x_x

That's another thing. Though, even there, I avoid eye contact. I avoid eye contact with pretty much everyone except for my 'students'.
