Date Anxiety.

Today will be my first ever date, or rather my attempts at my first ever dating experience. I must admit that my anxiety is high and I am feeling nervous already. I am worried she will find me boring as I do appear to be an extremely boring man. Old before my time as my Gran would say. And sadly she is more right than she realises. I talk a lot, perhaps too much. When walking if I see a bird or a car I suddenly fly off in-to robot mode and start listing off a hundred facts which admittedly is both interesting and fun it may not be so interesting and fun for the woman I am taking out later on. Bewilderingly she may not find such facts of interest. I analyse everything every little detail and do my research about it whether it’s birds or a tooth brush or toothpaste. With this in mind I am a little worried. We have been in conversation online for some time and decided to meet today, excellent. I am pleased. But there’s a difference in talking online and then meeting. Online I do not know how I come across: I suppose I appear perfect, handsome, highly intelligent: but do not let this illusion fool you as I am none of those things. I have been honest with her but I still feel she will be disappointed.

But no matter. Even if it is a disaster my sister has assured me she still loves me. Well actually her exact words was: “If she won’t love you and I don’t blame her I guess I still love you, a little tiny bit”. Oh the joys of having a sister. I will let you know how I get on. Thank you for allowing me to vent.

  • I just wanted to pick out the bit you said about being boring. I feel I am an exceptionally boring person (and I do nothing of interest day to day). Yet, when I am chatting with people online, almost all of them see me as very interesting, and intriguing. More so than anyone they’ve spoken to before (so they tell me).
    So, don’t think about how you see you. Accept that you are interesting enough for someone to text you regularly, and to want to meet up with. Thumbsup tone3
