When you are starting to date someone...

Do you think of what you may offer them? I get panicked because I fear my anxiety (generalized) will be a deal breaker for them in the short run. I overlook the traits I DO have or offer. But I overlook them because then I feel arrogant if I say to myself, I can offer this or that ( patience, compassion etc) Do you ever ponder these issues while looking for love? Does acknowledging your traits make you feel confident?

I had been on a dates with women expressing those feeling as you do..

So to get it out of the way... a kiss at the begining of the date will pretty much answer so much and mostly helps relax.
