It’s easier said than done, but you just have to start. Go on that first date and get it out of the way, then the next times should be a little bit easier. First you have to find someone (dating apps are probably easiest for this) then once you match/get talking to someone who you feel slightly interested in, ask them if they’d like to meet up in person (or if they ask you first, simply say yes!). If you’re initiating meeting up, keep it simple and ask if they want to get lunch/coffee somewhere and then just meet up, and start talking. If it makes it easier, just pretend they’re a friend you’re catching up with. I don’t think anyone’s first date they ever go on will be perfect or turn out well, but it’s just getting over the hurdle and the nerves of going on your first ever date. Once that’s out of the way, you can keep repeating the process and you should slowly start getting more comfortable with going on dates. And you will start to learn what to do/not to do and how to improve each time :)
