The guy I was meant to go on a date with cancelled because he was too anxious

Sadly, people who suffer from anxiety do this; they stop themselves from carrying out some activities, even if they want to do them. Their anxiety is triggered by several things: fear of the unknown, self-doubt, lack of trust and an unsecured environment
( away from their home, something they can't control). I think he deserves credit for confessing the truth and most likely does indeed want to meet you but is just too anxious to do so. While it's nice of you to want to help him, he may need instead the assistance of a qualified psychotherapist. I would suggest you allow him time to seek help and heal from it. Although it may or may not work, depending on his willingness and capacity to overcome his anxieties, and also depending on how good his therapist is. Depending on your feelings for him and your sense of self-preservation, you'll have to decide for yourself whether to wait for him or move on. Good luck.

I can see both sides of this, as I'm sure you can too.

I could deal with someone being anxious if they're working on it, but he lied at first. And no offense to men, but they'll say they're working on something when they really want you to fix it and make it all better. They'll have you all mushified to them, then the issues creep in... You know how it goes from there 😂

That's a tough call. What about him interested you?

He had the courage to admit to something that was difficult for him, and he respects you enough that not being fully honest bothered him.

I’d agree he’s worth the time and effort. He’s not perfect, but he is sincere and that’s a better start than many.

Nothing wrong with being patient if you want and trying to support him, but he's the one who's got to help himself.

Idk, I have anxiety and I used to always need a drink to do stuff. I kind of admire that he was honest. Kinda cute. Worth a shot if you like him

The epitome of starting out behind the eight ball. You’re looking to date, not be a therapist. Break the pattern.

I think I’d move on to the next.

my man needs some propanolol

Only you can decide what's best for you
Unless your a submissive then your dom would

No don’t do it. It will end up not being what you’re looking for

Tell him he's not your type and move on.
