Going on a “date” tomorrow? So I’ve been really trying to push myself lately, stop putting things off, procrastinating just doing stuff without thinking. The chat on Snapchat was going a bit dry, so I basically asked her out thinking she’d say no? She didn’t which isn’t a bad thing of course, but now I’m stressing I’m not sure if it’s officially a date. I mean it’s a girl from a dating app, we’re meeting for drinks so you tell me? Anyway to say I’m nervous is an understatement, I haven’t brought it up that I have a mild stutter. Not sure if I should? Most of the nerves probably brought on by that. I can “hide” it but honestly it’s so hit and miss. I know it shouldn’t matter in this scenario if the person can’t see past it blah blah, but still idk how I feel. Funnily enough I actually know this girls mum, our mums are friends, I’ve done lifts for them, we also went to the same primary school for a little bit as well. Just extremely nervous, borderline sick. Any advice, words of wisdom gladly appreciated.
