Anxiety and dating

It’s so hard. I used to get wrecked emotionally for the most minor things - like someone not asking me on a second date. But I’ve realized that you have to develop somewhat of a thick skin, and be really secure and comfortable with your self and your life first. This got a lot better for me when I started going to therapy.

Don't worry too much about the success of the date. Treat it as an experience of conversing with a stranger. If it goes further, great, if not, no big deal. No one cares about your flaws and mistakes as much as you think they do

Also I’ve noticed the more I got used to dating a lot the less anxiety I had. If something doesn’t go right with someone I’m interested in, there’s always someone else. And if I end up single, I know I feel good about myself and my life already as it is. It’s tough out there, but keep going. Good luck to you!
