This. 100%. The only way I got more comfortable with dating is...by dating. "But what about my anxiety?" Do it anxious. I completely understand that it can be scary. It was for me too. If you're scared to do it, do it scared. My first couple dates stunk. Didn't go my way. I was super nervous. But I stuck to it, and slowly got more comfortable. You're not going to get more comfortable with dating by NOT dating.
