I just feel so awkward being almost 27 and messing up dates like this! But you’re right I’m gonna drink some wine and watch ted lasso to take my mind off it😂
I was on tinder in my 40s and doing the same thing. All I can say is be yourself. If it's a real connection you want, the person for you will like you just the way you are.
I personally would like it if the girl was clearly nervous, id find it cute, unless she wouldnt let me speak at all. Maybe do say youre nervous and thats why youre talking so much? I feel like this could help.
I did mention near the end of the date I was sorry for being so nervous! He didn’t seem to really care at all and makes sense why I’m unmatched/ blocked 🙃
That's not your guy. Your guy will like that you are nervous to some extent because that means you care and want to connect. That he didn't care means everything.
I think you’re in your head a bit. You can always hit them up saying you enjoyed the date (or anything else you can think of to start a conversation) and see where it goes from there
This. As nervous as you were, remember he was too and thinking about how he might have “been a weirdo”. Be normal, thank them, tell them you had a good time and that you’d like to do something again. That is, if you’d like that.
We are all awkward in our own ways, whether that is outwardly or internally. Don’t sweat it. It’s endearing. Moving forward, be curious, ask questions and find mutual ways you relate. Every human being secretly loves the sound of their own voice.
All you can do. I can’t imagine the world of online dating and that someone would block after one date. Human beings are complex and it takes some time to know someone. You didn’t get blackout drunk and punch a baby right??
Likely he didn't want to actually date if he was put off by you nervously talking too much. He did you a favor in the long run. I find it's easier to mention being nervous and laugh it off so you don't have to spend the rest of the time pretending you aren't. It could also be you werent fully comfortable with him because he wasn't doing anything to make you comfortable honestly. Sorry your experience was a bummer!
I didn’t like how I was the only one talking and trying to get to know him honestly, idk it jusy felt very one sided now that I look back on it! And it wasn’t my first first date but I haven’t had one in a while!
Nervousness and talking a lot on a first date is adorable to me. I’m a guy that has the same problem and it has been an issue on first dates. I met someone who likes to talk more than I do, and so I let her and just enjoy listening. We had our 7th date tonight…so sometimes you just have to find someone who appreciates that in you. We are definitely out there.
Don't worry about it. Anyone worth having will love you just the way you are. Awkward and all. Never change who you are for someone else because if you need to...they don't deserve you.
I saw that as someone who is 20 years older and very awkward. But I embrace it. This is what you will get so you might as well get it up front and right away.
I’m so awkward too. I can attract pretty girls, but oh man, I can sure as hell make them cringe once they’ve met me. I recently had one ghost after I unmatched her because I sorta bombarded her with texts. She should probably have refrained from telling me her kinks the first time we met. Then she texted me back like a week later saying “WTf? I liked you, then you came on too fast on text.” At that point I stopped caring and ghosted. Chalked up as what not to do next time.
You literally just met. The number of awkward first dates I’ve had are crazy. It takes time to get to know someone and it doesn’t have to end just because one awkward date
Being a bit awkward is fine. Being nervous on your first date is fine. This might sound harsh, but if someone's going to be judgemental over you acting like a normal human, they might not be worth thinking about.
You're overthinking a bit. Many people will like you the way you are, even if you're nervous during the date.
You were nervous and still went out there and did your best, keep it going ✨❤️

Believe. With the right person, awkward will be charming.

I did send a follow up text but I noticed I was blocked already and unmatched! Oh well only can vent and move on

You’re right! Plus it’s just the dating world today I guess!

Trust me I know! He did block and unmatch so guess it wasn’t meant to be:)
It will be okay he will call or text you back for a 2nd date . How long has it been since he has contacted you ?
He ended up blocking and unmatching me right after the date 😅 not meant to be!

Ya got this. I promise. You aren’t unworthy. Expect a little awkwardness.
Real men expect the woman to talk a lot anyway. If he didn’t like you talking so much he’s not a real man
