Nervousness before a first date can be normal. It's actually a good sign. It's a sign that you care about someone and you believe there might be something special between them. It's not like we would be nervous about our first date. However, with the right tools you can conquer anxiety and fear. These are some tips to help you get over anxiety before your date.

A lot of people feel nervous and awkward on their first date. This is why pretending to be friends can help you relax. You can make your date more open to your shyness and they will be more understanding. Being nervous about meeting someone for first time can be nerve-wracking. An introvert may be able to meet someone who is kind and understanding of your shyness.


Focus on your breath

When you're nervous about a first date, you're likely picturing a love at first sight. Or maybe you fear the thought of sitting next to a weirdo the whole evening. It doesn't matter what, you're not the only one. It's not uncommon to be afraid. Practicing a simple breathing technique like this can help you overcome these fears and focus on the other person instead of your own anxiety.

Avoiding controversial topics

On first dates, people tend to avoid discussing controversial topics. Although a first date should be casual and easy-going, discussing controversial topics can make the evening awkward and confrontational. Some examples of such topics include religion, politics, money, life goals, and one-night stands. These topics can be appropriate for a second date but should not be discussed on the first date. These topics can be explored later on if you want to develop a deeper relationship.
