I’m about to go on a big first date with a girl in a little over a week. I must admit that I’m getting a bit nervous/anxious. Do women get nervous, too?
 
I’m not a woman, but the answer is yes. My friend says it’s natural and she always gets really nervous right before a date. She questions her outfit, her makeup, pretty much everything a guy goes through before a date, except of course for the makeup part. 😃
 
Yes. If she didn’t, it would mean she didn’t care (and she does).

I don’t know why they wouldn’t. Just as guys are anxious for the date to like them and want to avoid looking stupid, girls worry about the same things.

I’ve never been on a date, but friends, my imagination, and common sense tell me this must be so. 😉

Yes, sometimes excessively. :sad_yes:

Nah. Never. That’s why we never buy new clothes, never take two hours getting ready or put our deodorant on twice or … um … :rolleyes:

Darlin’ - we aren’t that much different from you. This makes us feel better: know where we are going and take charge of the date, but be attentive to what we like and don’t. Have a few topics of conversation in case we get all tongue-tied. Lead us to comfort, ask a few nice questions and* listen*, and if we babble or giggle stupidly, figure it’s nerves and we might be more relaxed next time.

Be yourself so we can be ourselves. We will like each other or we won’t. Let it happen.

Uh. sometimes yes and sometimes no.
 
I was until…the day DH arrived for our first date. My roommate opened the door, and I heard him, very clearly, ask for the wrong girl! :bigyikes:

Since he was kind enough to make the first major blunder, I could relax! 😛

Was it a blind date?
 
Oh yes we do!

It doesn’t matter how “good” we are at dating. I was a serial dater for awhile and went on a lot of dates.

My last first date was when I met my husband. We went on a the traditional dinner and a movie date.
He seemed cool as a cucumber but told me later he was beyond nervous. The two of us both had the same nervous habit of playing with straw covers if we are at a restaurant or at a bar for drinks.
We had pieces of them all over the table after our second date at a bar. But we also talked for hours and I knew we’d be together forever. 😃

Um, how much more is there beyond making sure breath is good, good clothes (including shoes), combed hair and car is cleaned on inside and outside?

Gosh, isn’t that enough?

But since you insist, there’s more, like making sure the car works, organising the date in the first place, deciding where you are going, making sure you’ll be doing something you’ll both enjoy, making sure you have enough money to pay for it, trying to anticipate what she will wear so that what you wear is in sync, keeping the conversation going, but again making sure it is in sync with her conversational style …

What kind of guy is setting up a date if his car doesn’t work? Can’t you just ask her friends what she likes to do? What kind of guy is going on a date if he is broke? Get advice from her friends. That’s easy.

Goodness, I’m not really saying that he has to take her somewhere that isbeyond his means or anything - I’m saying that these sort of considerations and planning (including, as you say, consulting with her friends) of course mean he has much more to think about than just clean self, clean clothes and clean car. You’ve actually proven my point very well.

But the thing is you do this before you ask her on a date and the other stuff is when you are preparing to go on the date. They are different phases.
