    First time really liking guy. Is it normal to feel scared?

    So i met this amazing guy and it's my first dating experience. I'm 19 but due to anxiety problems in my life and homeschooling this is my first experience dating. it isn't my first with guys but he's the only one I've ever been interested in. We're really into each other we can't stop thinking and talking about and to each other and it's alittle scary to me. I just like him so much and he's always on my mind. Have any of you ever been alittle intimidated by how much you like a guy? I think its intimidating cause it's my first dating experience, never even been on a date, never been kissed, nothing. I'm also alittle scared of change and if I have a boyfriend my life will change in several ways.

    OH yes! I'm no dating expert but yeah i've definitely been freaked out by my own feelings! Go with the flow though! Take things slow and see what happens.. and your life doesn't have to change a lot when you are have a boyfriend! Yes there are sacrifices you will have to make, but you are making them for a great cause really! You could also have the really strong feelings because it's your first boyfriend. Maybe date around a little if you are afraid he's not the right fit? Some people get lucky and the first one is the last.. and some have to go through many many jerks and mistakes.. it's all part of the learning process! Problem is sometimes you date so many jerks you get jaded so just follow your heart but always use your head! If it's moving too fast and you're not terribly comfortable with it then put the breaks on it It'll work out the way it's supposed to

      Don't feel pressure. Enjoy the moment, and just be yourself.
