DATING ADVICE! NEEDED, PLEASE READ!!!

Hi everyone,

I’m going on a date in a few hours, I’ve met the guy once before but I was extremely intoxicated & high off drugs so I don’t really know what to think. I initiated the date as I think he seems like a really cool guy, the problem is; is that there’s an age gap.. I’ve never been or socialised properly around a guy who’s this much older than me. It’s not a huge or weird age gap but it’s 6yrs. I’ve been on a couple dates before with guys my age or a year older and I think they went alright; I wasn’t really the dating type of girl before a couple of months ago & have enjoyed the past ones I’ve been on.

Yeah i was shit scared for both of the ones I’ve attended but I’m SO much more nervous now. I think it’s definitely the age gap, I feel if he was my age I wouldn’t be as stressed as I am. It literally makes my stomach turn thinking about it, whats gonna happen & what we’re gonna talk about. When I met him he seemed really cool, humble & seemed like my type so I don’t know why I’m worrying so much, it’s definitely my anxiety and makes me overthink EVERYTHING I’m gonna say. I also HATE awkward situations, I’m naturally a quite loud and outgoing person with people whom I know; others I just go shy and don’t really speak. Maybe we’ll hit it off! Maybe we won’t… I’m so nervous!Help me please! Any advice is appreciated & welcome and some tips to calm my anxiety.
