If you are someone who wants to make a connection that will hopefully blossom into something more long term / lifelong, it can be a nightmarish process. But at the same time, there's a certain magic to those initial stages of getting to know someone flirtatiously or romantically. Everything is kinda brand new to both of you, and the possibilities seem limitless, but that works both ways too, as pitfalls and anxiety can also skyrocket. My best piece of advice towards dated as someone who has done his dating and found someone so I never have to date again, is to take it all in stride and see it as a chance to live your life. Experience new things and have fun with it, the courage the go about your life with your best heart on display will catch the heart of another. At least, that's what I figure.
