Date jitters

[livingproof]

Hey, so it's been awhile since I've posted. I'm basically at the same place romantically as I have been in the past (look at my previous posts if you don't know). However, I have been talking to a guy for a few days, and I really like him. I think we will be going out on a date in the next week, and I am very nervous. I haven't been on a date in over a year, and I can be really awkward. On top of it, he is a few years older than me, which isn't a big deal. However, since I'm 23 and just graduated undergrad, and he is in an established career, I feel somewhat lesser than him.

I guess I have 2 questions really. What is some advice can you give someone in my situation, and any tips on not letting my nerves overwhelming me, so that I can't see if I like him in person? (if that makes sense...)

Exercise. Breathe deeply. Repeat as needed. [This is for before you meet.]

If you guys have a drink, drink lightly. It's even OK to tell him you are a bit nervous. He probably is too. Just try to chill.

If it doesn't work out call me. I live nearby. Just kidding. It'll be fine.
