Why am I more nervous for the third date than any other?
Ive (29M) been putting myself out there a bit more and I’ve been on a lot of first dates over the past year (5-6ish) with no 2nd dates (2 of them I rejected, 1 ghosted me, 2 rejected me, 1 I had to be rescued from but that’s a story for another time…). For the most part, just having some normal pre date jitters for those, but nothing crazy.
Me and this woman have been on 2 dates which I think went decently well. We have our third date tomorrow after work, and for some reason my anxiety is acting up 10 fold. I’m afraid that I’ll come off as awkward or creepy tomorrow since I don’t hide being anxious very well. She’s very reserved so I’ve been a little cautious on how far to break the touch barrier with her because I don’t want her to be uncomfortable, but I also feel like she will lose interest if I keep stalling there.
I’m just curious if anyone has felt this way (and why) and if they have any tips!
