I swear, every post recently has been about my online dating.

As I’ve said, I’m brand new to dating. Never been kissed and never went on a first date.

Normally when guys ask me for coffee it doesn’t lead anywhere. As in we stop talking and then never go for that coffee.

So the fact that tonight a guy actually made full plans with me kind of set me into a panic.

I like him and he is very similar to me. However, I’m fucking nervous.

It’s an online date and I want to be as safe as possible, but he doesn’t have a car so he was hoping we could meet for dinner at noodles and company near his apartment so he could walk.

Well that’s 33 minutes away from me and I’m kind of nervous to be in new territory.

I think the guy is really kind and so I would like to get to know him and meet him in person but.. I’m just nervous and would like advice.

Should I go on this date? My mom doesn’t want me too because she thinks it’s gonna be unsafe and not smart because I’ll be farther away from home. My parents are very protective. And I take everything they say to heart.

What would you do? What should I do? Please give me some guidance.

(If it matters, we met on Hinge and we’re both 19)
