Nerves before a first date are normal and won't go away, so just show up. Fear lasts about 30 seconds, and your gut will tell you fast if something feels off. If you get an ick, leave. Otherwise, relax and have fun.

Do you get nervous before you go on a first date with somebody thinking, "Oh, I hope this goes well," filling yourself up with all this anticipation and feeling like just kind of scared, really? I think it's really normal and natural to feel that way, especially if you've been off the dating scene for a while. And there's nothing really you can do about it. I think the only thing you can do is really kind of jump right in there and just see how it goes. For me, fear is always very short-lived, you know, 30 seconds, and I kind of know whether or not things are going to progress in a good way or maybe not so good, right? I mean, I rely a lot on my intuition. I know that not everybody does, but I think if your gut is telling you like, "Ick," then, you know, make your excuse and get out of there. Otherwise, just enjoy yourself and have fun.
