It is just a first date, so relax!

And don't talk about how anxious you are to get married and have babies. That will scared him off....

I think she SHOULD talk about how much she wants to get married and have babies very soon. That way he knows what the deal is from the start, instead of wasting a bunch of his time if he is not on board with this.

I want this to be a good date and I'm scared because I want him to want to go on a second date. What should I do? Say? How should I act? I'm so scared, dating him would be so awesome but the only crappy part is I am applying to jobs all through out my state and he works here, but I can apply to jobs here too. Ok so I need step by step for this date.


The opposite of this ^^^


Take a chill pill.

Oh yeah, that's this woman, I agree. You're right. Is he military?

People want to see other people again when their first encounter was relaxed, natural and unforced. Do not pretend to be anything other than who you are, and do not start getting wrapped up in the game of future expectations ... where might this go, when will we have sex and do I see him as a future life partner and father of my children?

One step at a time. Not only would it be in your best interest to approach this calmly and avoid placing unnecessary anxiety on your shoulders, but there is no purpose in stressing him out. Being excited is fine, but even anticipation should be reigned in. Trust your instincts ... this is a first date, not a job interview with the brainiacs at the Googleplex.

Desperation is really unattractive. You should really think about why any warm body seems good enough for you.

I just pictured the OP on their first date, walking up to him wearing a wedding dress

OP, how do you know that you want to go on a second date with him? You yourself said that you didn't know each other when you attended the same college. You've only been texting - but you don't really know each other until you've spent some time in each other's company. Is not "talking about sex at all" really your only requirement? If not, chill out - get to know each other, THEN see if you want to go on that second date. Be yourself during the first date and don't come off as desperate (not attractive). Good luck
