Edit: Y'all are gonna make me cry. Thank you for the support. I'm feeling a lot better and gonna take a week to let the emotions die down. Again, thank you so much for the outpouring of support!
This weekend, I went on a first date with a guy I met on Bumble.
I've never really dated before. I have crippling anxiety and am extremely socially awkward. Even so, I wanted to try dating because I thought it would be a cool experience. Plus, after talking to the guy online it seemed like we really clicked.
The date went really well in my eyes. I haven't laughed so much in ages. Afterwards, we parted ways. I texted him asking if he would like to see me again. He responded that he had fun, but didn't think we'd be a good match. I thanked him for his honesty.
I'm making this post because I truly regret going on that date now. All my insecurities are screaming at me, and I'm kicking myself for making myself vulnerable. Given my mental health, people in my life are glad that I even took the first step and going out on a date. All I can think about is how stupid I was for taking the risk and lowering my self-esteem.
Does anyone have any advice? If need be, I'll edit this post and add some details. Otherwise, thanks for reading.
tl;dr Went on date, felt it went well. Guy didn't think we could work. I regret going.
