Should i give dating a second try this weekend? I have been on one date before. I had talked to this girl a couple of times drunk, and mostly on snapchat. She invited herself over to watch a movie, and i completely froze and became the most awkward person ever. Afterwards, i felt like shit for a couple of days and almost got into a depression. The girl stopped talking to me shortly after. I have now met this girl (also while drunk) some times. I have met her once sober, but that was just like 5 minutes when i saw her accidentaly in the city. We have skyped a lot, but i find myself fluent on skype for some reason, but can barely speak in the real world. This girl doesnt know i stutter, and she is one of these girls that is super confident, and is looking for a confident guy etc. How can i calm myself down beforehand, and should i risk it? She wants me to stay with her for the weekend.
