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

At first he lied and said it was work, but later he confessed he is a really anxious person and is seeking help for that. He assured me he wants to meet and was really apologetic.

My initial reaction is to try and help him, but I do this so often and end up with projects rather than partners.

I'm so conflicted rn.

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

@OlderSometimesWiser Yep, it's so difficult for me having been where he is and knowing how I got past it.

I just wanna fix the world, sigh

@Kuronekko You’re a good person with good intentions but you’re likely to end up right back at square one.

@OlderSometimesWiser I know this all too well.
