Anxiety in relationships

[Megson]

I've come to the conclusion that a guy I like also likes me, too. And now I'm feeling extremely anxious and nervous. I never have to deal with relationship stuff cuz I'm never in a relationship.

My anxiety is so bad sometimes that I can't eat and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I don't know if this is "natural" to feel or if I'm overreacting to this, but how to people handle relationships? I'm so afraid of screwing everything up, I don't want him to meet my family because they'll embarass me, I don't know what we'd do on dates if we dated, do we even have anything in common?

Am I overthinking everything? Any advice?

[Melodic]

Wow, that's tough. But it is normal, well at least for me. I also tend to get nervous when I start liking guys, or seeing them. And I have an anxiety disorder, so it doesn't really help much. And the whole family thing, I am grateful I have had a tendency to like guys who would just laugh along with them. Well except one, but he was a jerk.

Honest advice though, just go with it. Don't worry about what could happen. If something doesn't work out right, well just go with life again, and a new guy will come around.

Don't worry, as that's normal. There is nothing wrong with you. Since you have never been in a relationship before, it is best to just go with it. What I mean by that is that you need to talk to the person you like. If a relationship develops, great! If they don't like you back, it's not the end of the world. Never feel bad about yourself if you are rejected. This could lower your self confidence. Don't dwell over rejection.

There is someone out there who will like you for you. Also, don't be afraid of screwing things up. It is natural that you do, considering you had no prior relationships. Just be yourself. Remember, it's their loss if they don't date you.
