So a little background- I’m 23, female and I’ve never officially dated anybody. I’ve had men hit on me, but anyone I’ve ever been interested in has not shared the same feelings back. I’ve honestly never really thought about relationships, throughput high school all of my friends were in relationships, and I was honestly perfectly fine being single.
Anyways, it’s been little under a year that I’ve been open to the idea of dating and putting myself out there. Ive definitely had my misses, people I thought I clicked with but didn’t. My biggest struggle right now is the idea that men will want to back out with my lack of dating experience. I recently hit it off with somebody that I can see myself with, we talk for hours, he’s passionate about numerous things, incredibly easy going and understanding. We had a conversation last night on the phone about the first time we met (which was a couple days ago), he showed up at my work and surprised me. This was a huge thing for me because although I’m a very outgoing person, meeting possible partners turns me into a completely different (terrified) human being.
Anyways, he mentioned that I seemed very guarded the first time we met, which is fair. I guess I don’t want to scare him off, but I also don’t know how to necessarily tell him that I want things to go slow, and that I might make mistakes at my first go around.
All in all, I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on there first dating experiences? Or failures? Anything I could do to be more open, or maybe signs I should look out for (good or bad) in potential partners?
(Also if this is the wrong sub I apologize!)
