Dating again..
So my little girl is 19months now, I have been single around 2 years, myself and her dad separated before she was born. He has no contact with her (his choice, moved away).
I work part time, have a great support network, and I feel like I am in a really good routine with my daughter and life itself.
Only thing I am struggling with is feeling lonely, lack of sexual chemistry with someone, having fun etc.
Mentally I feel as though I am ready to date again.. so I joined an online dating app, been speaking to a guy for a couple of weeks now, and he wants to go out this Saturday..
All of a sudden my anxiety is through the roof, I have 0 confidence, I can’t concentrate, feel like I’m loosing the plot.
Prior to him asking to go on a date, I was absolutely fine. Is this normal, do I go on the date?
Any advice much appreciated x

Yes it is since your putting yourself out there. Just try to enjoy yourself and don’t expect too much. It’s a start.
Go! Don’t have any expectations though, just see it as a fun night out w a potential guy friend (which he might just end up becoming) Tell someone you trust who and where and what time you’re going, have them check up on you and have a code word that you send them so they can ring you and make up some emergency that you can run from if you needed that option. (Movies do it all the time 😂) Make sure you FT this dude and knows what he looks like IN REAL LIFE, don’t rely on his pics on his page. If you’ve heard his real voice seen his real face, then go have fun but protect yourself so you can go with confidence.
