The way you act on a date is supposed to be endearing and charming. This doesn’t always come easy to some people. Some people just act weird. It could be due to anxiety or nervousness but it can make it hard to see the real you.

My friend Kelly was a weird date and she doesn’t know if her behavior scared the guy off. I suggested she just own up to it, admit she had date anxiety. I figure honesty is the best way to go. She drank a little too much and got a lot too loud. She also nearly fell and even spilled something on the table.

Have you ever been on a date who had weird or awkward behavior? How do you stop being weird on dates when you have date anxiety?
