<h4>Strangers Are Scary</h4>

we should hang out sometime- we live close in distance which is a good thing. We could meet up and go for a walk or something if you are up to it. I would really like to get to know you more- wish you would give me a chance- besides- what do you have to lose??

This guy has been nudging me to meet him for about a month. I haven't spoken with him recently but he just sent me a message today. He seems like a nice enough guy but his desperation has put me off a bit. I don't meet a lot of guys from dating websites. I sit pretty far on the cautious/hesitant spectrum. Actually, in the past six months I've met one person and I just had a really good feeling about him. Mostly, it feels like a gamble. 

It's easy for some people to meet strangers. For me, there's a lot of pressure. Pressure on how to act, what to say and do, how to avoid the awkwardness of not being interested in your date or being let down. I'm still really bad at handling myself around guys I don't know who have a hard on for me.

This date: I don't want to say no but I don't want to say yes either. Dating is hard, yo.
