Sorry guys, this is my first time dating EVER.

I´ve never been on a f*****g date in my whole entire life.

Hi everybody,

So a guy I met online wants to go and have a drink with me tonight. We live in the same city at 10 minutes distance of each other. He asked me yesterday night on facebook but I just felt so tense when he asked it that I couldn´t respond to any of his messages anymore. The boy is 23 and has aspergers too.

Even though we kinda connect on the internet and I want to see him, I have such dating anxiety! Rationally I know that I should make a big deal out of it and have nothing to lose, but all that is going through my head is: 'What if there is no connection? What if it turns out to be a disaster date where we end op looking at our smartphones all the time. What if it gets really uncomfortable?".


Oooh gooooooooooooood.


I don't know what to do. Does anyone recognize this?


If you haven't used a different personality online and you haven't used dishonest pictures, you have nothing to fear, apart from the fact that he might have done that himself.

I wish you good luck, in any case.

Okay, so here's the story for those that are interested:

We met at a café at around 21:00. I was worried that I wasn't going to find or recognize him. The moment I walked into the café I saw him sitting at the bar. There were no other people at the bar so I immediately recognized him (and he recognized me). I thought he was going to be really shy but he was actually quite spontaneous. I was already a bit tipsy when I came in so I kind of had to try my best to keep a normal appearance. Luckily the conversation went really fluently.
After a couple drinks we went to his house to play the wii. I stayed there until 4 o clock at night 8O Nothing sexual happened, but we talked and talked and talked. About superficial things, about deeper things, about his aspergers. It was really special...
I didn't always feel comfortable with him because he was bluntly honest at times (but I guess that's an aspie trait) ... and I am kinda random/unpredictable at times (which he didn't always get)...

We hugged in the end and shared three kisses. I would like to see him another time... don't know if I feel that romantic connection though.

Wednesday I am going on another date!!
