Topic: does meeting new people makes you nervous | |
---|---|
I was just wondering of anybody else feels nervous when you are meeting
someone new. could be a friend, a blind date or maybe someone online. I do feel that way, is this normal?Maybe it is because i lost my partner but that was a long time should have gone over it really. |

it's perfectly normal man. i myself don't really get nervous about it
because it more exciting than anything to me but it is a normal feeling and i wish you the best |

Not at all it's perfectly normal to meet new people in your life...

I get butterflies in my stomach.

I also get nervous meeting new people. I have been told that it is
normal though. That is why it is so much easier talking on the computer. lol |

I get nerves myself at times but usually I have to calm my date down for
he doesn't know how to act around me and I don't know why do anyone out there knows:) |

I guess it is normal for anyone to feel nervous about meeting new
people, but I think it's mostly because of the pressure we put on ourselves. Think about it, if you know you are going to meet someone, you become neurotic about every little detail, wanting it to be perfect. Well, nobody is perfect. Mr. or Mrs. Right is going to accept those little imperfections, right? Lighten up, meeting people is supposed to be fun. |

Hey CXPoet, I like the way you think. Too bad more people do not think
like you. And you hit the nail right on the head. I do believe we are our own worst critic. pms64 |

I do get a little nervous...but what us girls do is this, we give each
other the guys information, just in case he is a whacko. They have his cell number, where he lives, what he drives, where he works...any kind of information we have on him...the girls get! Honestly, you really never know who you might meet or what their intentions are, so better be safe then sorry :) |

kinda like that women in detroit who met a man on a chat line.
he came over to her house, they drank, had sex and when they went to the store she stopped at a gas station and while she was pumping her gas he pulled a gun on her and stole her car. be careful |

For me it's kind of being on a job interview. And I do think it in the
same way too, cause you are trying to make a first good impression. But since a date to me isn't going to make or break your career, I try to not take it too seriously. |

i know alot of people judge by first impressions but i don't even worry
bout trying to impress someone. i go as i am that way i know what's up with the chemistry, no false fromts or nervousness and more times than not even if we don't hit it off we have a good time. |

wow. that's borderline evil.. fake people are the worst.
to the original author, i think getting nervous is totally natural and CXPoet had some great advice. i also think "meeting" people online has a lot of benefits. i would never have a purely "online" relationship, but online can definately augment rl (real life) |
