Today, the guy I like asked me out for the first time. It's a good thing he did it over Facebook, because I started shaking and almost threw up. I don't know how I'm going to function on our date next week. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Nerves, dear?
Today, on my first date with a guy I really like, I threw up not once, not twice, but three times. FML
It's a sign
Today, after weeks of psyching myself up, I finally asked my crush to go out for coffee. She smiled and said yes. Feeling on top of the world, I turned to leave, walked straight into an opening glass door, and gave myself a nosebleed before the date had even happened. FML
Tonight, on First Dates…
Today, I finally got the courage to go on a first date with this guy I had a crush on for months. It was such a big deal for me cause it was my first date ever. The first thing he says when we met was, "I have to take a dump." I sat by myself for 10 minutes. FML
Today, I was planning to ask a guy at school out since I had mustered up the confidence to finally tell him how I really felt. I ended up puking on him. FML
Today, a guy I like tried to talk to me. I got so nervous that I had a panic attack and puked in front of him. FML
Today, I went on a date for the first time in months. Over dessert, my date told a joke, and I tittered vigorously, causing me to choke and throw up all over him. FML
Today, I went to the carnival with a guy I like. When we went on the big scary ride where you flip upside down a lot, he asked me to be his girlfriend. Then, I threw up on him. FML
Shoot your shot
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out the girl I’ve had a crush on for years. I was so nervous, I got confused and sent her a text meant for my best friend that said, "I’m about to ask her out. Pray I don’t puke on her." She responded with a laughing emoji and said, "You really need to work on your game." FML
Today, due to nervousness, I threw up while proposing to my girlfriend. FML
Distant love
Today, for the first time in more than two years, a guy asked me out. Too bad he lives halfway around the world. FML

If you can resist the puking, I think the vibrations will be beneficial for other 'activities'

Don't make the mistake another OP made and get shit-faced drunk to "calm your nerves". Take deep breaths, practice conversation with yourself if it helps. Talk to friends, family, etc. about it if they have experience. If all else fails, do some breathing and yoga exercises before the date. It helps calm you down pretty well. Good luck.

Don't worry, he'll probably be nervous about it too. First dates can be incredibly awkward, but can also be incredibly fun. I'm sure you'll feel better as you warm up to him and him to you! Good luck OP!

Relax. You're soon to realize that he's not perfect and just another flawed human like the rest of us. If you need to be disabused of that notion, just mosey on into the bathroom after he's taken a crap and take a good whiff. You might start shaking and feel like throwing up, but it will be for different reasons.

Aww congrats! Good luck OP! Make sure you take deep, calming breaths. If you're old enough to drink, maybe have something small to calm your nerves. You'll do fine! :)

Like another OP that got completely wasted when she had a few drinks to "calm her nerves"? I think this OP should stick to deep breathing and drinking water.

There's nothing wrong with having a little drink as long as you use self control! A glass of wine usually does it for me. Relaxing while still keeping it classy :)

I swear a quick glass of wine stops my nerves. For me it's the difference between me either being a blonde-mess or an intelligent woman with nerves of steel...

Get totally baked! I've never actually tried marijuana, but I know people who think it's great for partying. Good luck and don't get busted!

I prefer Xanax myself. Ahhh, confidence in pill form.
perdix 31
That's some good info. Once I get past the hurdle of "hello," I'm actually pretty cool. How fast does this Xanax work? So, if I see a girl I like and slam one, how long do I have to follow her around until I get the drug-induced balls to say "hi?"

On Xanax you'll probably just fall asleep before you get the confidence to talk to the girl.

Definitely go on your date either high or tipsy so your not so nervous. Just make sure if you smoke that your eyes are not blazing red like the devils dick.

I was told that lots of eye drops can help. Also, you should probably ********** vigorously before your date. It worked great for Ben Stiller in "There's Something About Mary."

I think you need some pills.

I actually find it cute that a girl is nervous around me!.. Usually it's the other way around. He may feel the same way.

Oh wow! You like this guy that much? He must be like ridiculously hot.
jem970 19
Because she can't just like him for his personality. Nope she is just a shallow woman who looks at a man like he's a piece of meat
cynicalhumanist 9
But then again, if they knew each other well enough for her to like his personality, he would probably not have asked her out via facebook.

Are you serious? How does her thinking he is hot make her shallow??

Why is everyone suggesting to get drunk or high? I'm sure that he doesn't want to hang out with someone who looks like they have an addiction problem... Relax, he's just another human the same as you are, and probably a little nervous himself. Just go, have fun, and try not to put too much pressure on yourself.

Don't worry, it's only Perdix suggesting that.

I'm sure he'll be nervous too since he asked you out. Good luck OP! :)
