Four things every guy gets nervous about before a first date
We often talk about pre-date nerves here on Urban Social but it’s usually from the woman’s perspective. But after quizzing some of my closest male friends and finding out what it is they think about before they go on a first date, I have to share my findings with you dear reader.
Here are the main four things that guys get nervous about before they go on a first date. If you can add to the list then do feel free to tweet us @urbansocialcom with your experiences.
What are we going to talk about. Some men aren’t known for their talking, and truth be told, I love to talk so it’s not something I’ve ever had to worry about. But for some men, the thought of holding a conversation for more than 15 minutes strikes utter fear. And we can’t really blame them, when you’re sitting across a table from someone, to try and fill a void of two hours by keeping conversation going when it’s the first time you’ve really been together one on one is a daunting task. But before you worry, our advice is to listen loads and just go with your natural instincts – if she mentions work – ask her questions and the conversation will soon be flowing.
What should I wear. Yep ladies, it’s not just us who worry about what we are going to wear.
Is she really in to me? Being self-conscious can hit us all pretty hard. It’s easy to get wrapped up in a myriad of questions when you’re preparing to go on a date. But relax. If the other person didn’t want to go – they wouldn’t.
And finally…
Is the restaurant I’ve booked fancy enough. It’s difficult, we know that. After all, you book somewhere uber classy and you’re risking a very big bill for what could be an awful date or you book somewhere super cheap and casual and be seen as a bit of a cheap skate. However, try sussing out what the other person likes before booking – or skip dinner all together and just meet up for brunch or a few drinks.
