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🥺

If you are referring to panic attacks, then relax all your muscles whenever you are stressed and breathe calmly during the week, and you won't have a panic attack again. Don't cancel because of fear, you'll be ok, tell your date about it and if he doesn't understand then he's not a good guy.

Also, if you are afraid of an event like a speech, a date, an exam, a performance then ask your doctor for a blood pressure medication to help lower your heartbeat so you won't be scared. Its a stage fear medication There is also Xanax which is a narcotic medication and will also block fear, but it is not recommended if you have to think too and sound intelligent or have a glass of wine🤣
