I'll be going on a date with a new person in a couple of days and I'm feeling nervous about it. I've been out of the dating scene for a while so I'm not as confident as I once was. What are some things I can do to get rid of the nervousness before and during the date?

Just know that what you are going through is very very normal! When my boyfriend and I had our first date, I was sooo nervous. It takes time to get over, but you will with time.
The best way to get over the jitters is have confidence in yourself and be YOURSELF without pretending to be someone you're not. Think of it as if YOU are interviewing this potential person to see if they meet the requirements of YOUR ideal partner. (That should be the case!) When you truly think of it that way, things work out wonderfully. You DO NOT need to impress him, he needs to impress and pursue you. Relax and enjoy...you'll be just fine, don't worry!

I would suggest drinking a glass of wine before he comes to pick you up (or, if you're driving, grab a drink at the bar before he gets there). Don't get drunk, of course, but just drink a little bit to get rid of your nerves. Or, like I did the night I first met my fiancee, go out on another date beforehand. Lol. That definitely took the pressure off the second date!

Have sex before dinner. Right when he picks you up. That's what date jitters are about right? Get that over with as fast into the date as possible and dinner will be fine.

Go to a comfortable place where you can relax and not be under the gun to impress. Your on a date already so the impression has been made. Nerves on a date mean your nervous about who you are and you shouldnt be.

Just be yourself... absorb yourself in the scene and remember to have lots of fun, unless the guy is boring. Then you can be dissapointed and toss him into the friendship pile.

Get some Valerian or have a glass of wine. Remember he is probably just as nervous as you are!

Just be yourself. Don't over analize it. You're going to have a good time.
