But after quizzing some of my closest male friends and finding out what it is they think about before they go on a first date, I have to share my findings with you dear reader.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the main four things that guys get nervous about before they go on a first date. If you can add to the list then do feel free to tweet us @urbansocialcom with your experiences.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are we going to talk about. <\/b>Some men aren\u2019t known for their talking, and truth be told, I love to talk so it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve ever had to worry about. But for some men, the thought of holding a conversation for more than 15 minutes strikes utter fear. And we can\u2019t really blame them, when you\u2019re sitting across a table from someone, to try and fill a void of two hours by keeping conversation going when it\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve really been together one on one is a daunting task. But before you worry, our advice is to listen loads and just go with your natural instincts &#8211; if she mentions work &#8211; ask her questions and the conversation will soon be flowing.<\/p>\n<p><b>What should I wear. <\/b>Yep ladies, it\u2019s not just us who worry about what we are going to wear.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is she <i>really <\/i>in to me? <\/b>Being self-conscious can hit us all pretty hard. It\u2019s easy to get wrapped up in a myriad of questions when you\u2019re preparing to go on a date. But relax. If the other person didn\u2019t want to go &#8211; they wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>And finally\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b>Is the restaurant I\u2019ve booked fancy enough. <\/b>It\u2019s difficult, we know that. After all, you book somewhere uber classy and you\u2019re risking a very big bill for what could be an awful date or you book somewhere super cheap and casual and be seen as a bit of a cheap skate. However, try sussing out what the other person likes before booking &#8211; or skip dinner all together and just meet up for brunch or a few drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often talk about pre-date nerves here on Urban Social but it\u2019s usually from the woman\u2019s perspective.
