First dates for shy people?

First dates for shy people?

Ok so I get REALLY anxious in social situations, especially in restaurants cuz it just makes me feel so uncomfortable talking to waiters and such. I get stressed even thinking about it.

So what would be a good idea for a first date for a shy person?

**Its very cold here so can't be going for a walk or picnic**

Would be open to any suggestions 😊😊

When we first started going out my husband was super shy we went to the movies .

Start going to restaurants solo until you get used to dealing with that and get over your fears......

Other than that, I don't know what to tell ya....people are everywhere and we don't bite....well....maybe sometimes gnaw a little....but try it, you might end up liking it. Seriously, exposure therapy, learning that everyone is stumbling through life making mistakes and learning to laugh at yourself about it, goes a long way toward curing social anxieties.

I'd do that before I venture into dating because dating will knock your self confidence even lower as you come face to face with rejection.

If you are asking because you are already planning a date, then what do you like besides eating, what has she told you that she likes to do. For example if she likes art - go to a museum. If she likes table tennis, see if you can find a place indoors to go do that. Activity dates can be great and usually the person you are asking out will tell you what they might enjoy. So roll with that.
