I'm in my late 20s and I've never been in a serious relationship. I've never found anyone that was interested in me enough. So I met t his guy online and we had a brunch date last week. I invited him to celebrate my birthday with me today with friends. I'm kinda quiet and shy, so he talked with my friend most of the time. At the end of the date, I wanted to kiss him, but I just got too nervous and hugged instead. I'm afraid that I may have put myself in the friend zone. I do want to go out with him again, but I feel like I made a mistake today. Any suggestions on how to not be as nervous around guys. I thought the feeling would have subsided by now.

You need to stand in WITH your friend while they are talking. You can add things when you feel comfortable.
It might be easier to do less stressful things. Instead of a party, where you naturally feel a bit judged, you're introducing a new person to people you know, so a bit of pressure.
I would suggest low key things like coffee and a nice long walk together. Sitting near water, talking. A drive, A movie at home, things where it is just you and him...and either it is gonna get more comfortable or not....At least you'll know.
I want to do an activity, like mini golfing. But a movie at his place sounds good. I live with my family so I don't feel comfortable bringing him home. They don't care, but I feel awkward.

Be careful with the "movie at home"..... you never know how that might go... unless of course you're looking for that......
I'm looking for a long term relationship and so is he. Granted, I know things can change given the situation, but I feel vulnerable taking my clothes off in front of someone. Plus sex is only reserved as a way to express how I feel towards the person I'm dating.
