Well basically my sister dragged me down the pub on Friday evening. It all went well, I felt a bit anxious when we first went in but I soon calmed down and the rest of the evening was fine.
We’d been in there for about half an hour when someone my sister works with came in. So we got chatting to her and I told her I’d split up with my wife about 6 months ago. She then tells me that her daughter been through the same thing (not a period of anxiety, just a split up) and that she’s not getting out much. I then nip off to the loo and when I get back she tells me that she’s just been on the phone to her daughter and that it’s OK to for me to call her and ask her out. She then gives me her daughters’ mobile number.
Now I don’t know what to do. My sisters’ met this girl and she said she’s attractive, intelligent easy to talk to and that we’re of similar ages. But I just don’t know what to do.
Firstly I don’t know what to say when I first call her, it would be easier to send a text but then that’s bottling it somewhat. And I also don’t know weather I should mention this anxiety thing, ‘cos I don’t want to scare her off before we’ve even started. I’m also worried that if I do call her and arrange a date that on that day I’ll have a panic attack and not be able to go (at the moment I tend to do things on impulse when I’m feeling up to it).
So what would you do?
