hello!
i'm writing to see if anyone else is feeling like me lately and if they know how to deal with these feelings. i'm 18 and i just opened a dating app profile in which i've met a couple of guys. talking to them has been fine but when they mention something about meeting each other for a date or any kind of romantic activity (i'm being safe and making sure they're legit) i instantly panic and become really anxious. i've never been in a relationship before and i've never experienced love. so, why do i get the ick and suddenly think of refusing a date even though i'm interested in starting a relationship? i've felt this type of fear and nervousness since forever and i can't get past it when talking to guys. i don't want to live with this fear forever but i'm not sure how to get rid of it.
if anyone could respond i'd appreciate it
