We kept texting after the date, and at some point, we talked about Italian restaurants. I made a joke about inviting a cute boy I know as a subtle way to ask for a second date. I then texted to say the cute boy wasn’t him, probably making it worse. He did reply, and we are still talking, but it shows how quickly I can spiral. So, how do you keep your cool around a new guy so as not to scare him away?
