Hi everyone, if I could get some advice and/or answers to some of my questions that would be great!
Im a 24 F that has never dated anyone before, I've talked and went out with a handful of guys but nothing serious ever resulted from that. I've always been pretty busy with school and work so I never really had the time or energy to put into dating. That being said, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to dates and what to expect.
I tried tinder and after multiple failed connections, this one guy stood out. He's two years older and is very sweet gentleman. We matched way back in December, and at the time, I was about to start traveling because of work. I wasn't free at all to meet up but he didnt mind and said he was okay with waiting. My work thing finally ended in March, but then Corona happened. However, ever since we first matched, we've been snapping daily and both have expressed how interested we are in each other. We've had multiple conversations that have a general cutey vibe. An occasional flirty series of snaps have been exchanged, but nothing explicit.
We're finally meeting up next weekend for an ice cream date and I'm terrified that I will mess it all up. I am a very anxious person and my inexperience scares me. The couple of dates I've went on ended pretty awkwardly so now I'm worrying about the little things that I could have done wrong. Like am I supposed to sit next to him or across from him? What should we talk about? I feel that we've gotten to know each other very well over the past couple of months so the normal "getting to know each other" topics you'd expect to talk about during a first date, we've already been over. What topics should I not bring up? Do we stay at the ice cream place the whole time? Where should we go next? Should I expect a kiss at the end if it goes well and will he be able to tell that I am severely inexperienced? Would that turn him off? How does one end a date exactly without it seeming like you're trying to book it? If all miraculously goes well, do I have to wait before texting/snapping him? Is there an unspoken rule of who has to reach out first?
I am also a virgin (big surprise!) and plan to remain celibate until marriage, however, I am okay with the idea of "hitting the other bases" if the relationship evolves. Is this something I should bring up now, if not when?
I'm sorry, I know I am a mess, so any sort of guidance would be very helpful!! He's the only guy I've ever really wanted to date and I don't want to blow it!
