Nerves are a killer to mood and enjoyment. I can totally understand that over-thinking about the date before it happens, especially imagining the worst, is a recipe for disaster, or at the very least discomfort and not being your true self. having messed up myself on more than one occasion, I really do appreciate the techniques and advice in this and the other articles - unrequited love for example. Sometimes expecting the worst can make whatever follows seem not so bad, but not if it paralyses you with fear or makes you forget that it is supposed to be enjoyable for both parties!
