I (18f) am going with my friend (18m) to prom. We have been friends for a year and have gotten closer these last few months.
He asked me out after I was complaining that I had no one to go with, but didn’t know if we were going to be going as dates or as friends. Last week he decided that it would be a date which would be our first one.
I have never been on/dated anyone but he had a wierd in-between relationship for a month or two last year with his childhood friend, but she subsequently moved away and they have not kept contact as far as I’m aware.
The problem however is that even though I like talking to him and it seems as though he likes listening to me (though he is a bit quiet), I get a strong feeling that I’m talking too much and leave any conversations feeling like I’m messing things up. I apologized to him for talking too much and he said that it’s fine and that people talking too much doesn’t annoy him because of how much his siblings talk. We also talk almost every night for ~2 hours and I often run out of things to say, but he doesn’t really end up talking himself that much so if I’m not talking or directly prompting him to talk there is just a heavy silence. Is it possible that I AM messing things up and annoying him. Also it is worth noting that I have ADHD so my talking is probably a little extra annoying because I jump from topic to topic.
