I'm kinda nervous :/

[chelsay13]

Okay, so this guy a year older than me asked me on a date friday night. I'm nervous because the last guy screwed up a lot of things in my life and ended up telling me to die a slow painful death. That was in like.. January and I haven't even liked anyone since. I know this may sound stupid, but how can i be sure he won't end up the same?

Basically? On good faith. You can't know for sure that he'll be better, so you have to trust your judgement. Something told you it would be a good idea to go out with him, despite your hesitation due to the last guy.

I hope it does go better for you. :)

first, take a deep breath and relax. not all chaps come from the same genetic pool. if this bloke truly likes you, why don't you suggest something less intense than a date, such as going out for a walk together and getting to know each other better. striking up a friendship is far better than a shot in the dark date. btw, dying a slow death is what we all strive to achieve - it's called living :)

You can't tell, not without knowing him first anyway, mabye try this one date then take it from there?

[Shalom]

Trial and error, not all relationships are great but you should at least give him some sort of chance. Let him into your life slowly if you like him, don't rush.

Tbf, You Cant Tell If He Wont Do The Samee, But Your Not Going To Know Unless You Give Him A Shot, If You Like Him, Date Him, If You Dont, Dont:D

But You Cant Dwell On The Past. The Other Guy Sounds A Nob Tbh, Im Sure This Guys Differant:D xx

Lol yes, slow death does equal living xD

and also you should give him a chance, cuz everyone deserves a chance.

You cant be sure. Clearly you're going to have to really trust the next guy because you've been hurt by your experience. But either you will have to take that risk when you feel ready or live your life alone. I dont think you want the second option?

Slow down there partner - going on a date with a guy doesn't mean he'll end up screwing up your life and telling you to die a slow painful death... Just because you had one bad experience with a jerk doesn't mean this other guy is the same. There are a lot of asshole guys out there, but there are nice ones too (we are a rare breed JK lol)

My advice: take it slow, get to know him, go out on a few dates and see where it goes. It's far too soon to worry about a relationship that hasn't even started yet. Who knows, this could be one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet: give him a chance.

i know it can be hard to bounce back from a setback like that. you just have to remember and keep telling yourself that one bad experience shouldn't ruin your chances of a happy date or relationship in the future. obviously, not all guys are going to be an asshole like that. i think you should go on the date. the longer you leave it the harder it will be to accept a date in the future. i can't promise you that the date will go well and you won't get hurt, but you deserve to give yourself the chance to be happy and have a good time. the guy has gone to the trouble to ask you out and obviously must like you a bit, so that is a good start. good luck chelsea. :)

spot on what i was going to say don't let one bad experience get you down go for it

[FunnyHaHa]

don't worry too much about it for now, just have fun on friday :)

Trust your own instincts to not pick an asshole to go out with.

If he isn't as nice as you thought, then ditch him. And laugh. Laughing is all you can do really while dying your slow death (living)

Just take it slow, and follow the above advice about letting a friendship and trust develop first.
