Any tips how to not panic on date?

I have given up several possible good guys or dates due to fear. I feel like an imposter..they may see my outer shell of being light or laid back, but they dont know the extent anxiety has had in my life. I feel I'll be letting them down when they find out. How can I feel good on a date when I am not offering a whole person? Any tips on how not to panic on a date, thinking Im not enough? I fear Ill get so nervous I will have to leave🥺

You have nothing to prove ,if they on a date with you they obviously like you .Dont doubt yourself and just be you that is all you have to do .Your a beautiful and vivacious babe let that be your trump card ,when you part and arranged next date he will not sleep for thinking about you. Your voice will be like an echo in his mind ,he will dream of your wedding day and have the names of your children picked and hope you agree with him ,his life will never be the same again after he meets you.

@Banksy83 Aww well I appreciate that and is very sweet. But even if a guy liked me for an hour on a date or my appearance, I do think many would find "greener pastures" when I have to say no to fun outings. (Some social activities give me anxiety). 😞But, i need to remember there may be a few who wouldnt...ty🦋

@Coralmist I would shower you with Roses and buy you things if you want things .I would give you my bike but I borrowed it I think of you as soon as I wake up you are a phenomenon, like Jennifer Lawrence in Silver linings playbook or Hunger games .truly you are my dream woman , I would let you have the pick of my horses and ride along the beach behind you watching your hair blowing in the wind if you dont wear a safety hat
