went on my first date..

yesterday I went on my first date with a boy I was talking to for a while. I'm 17 and he's 18. We decided to have a picnic at the park for our first date which was a bad idea because it was like 100 degrees lol when he first arrived I was nervous and I think he was too? we didn't really hug or anything like I was REALLY nervous.. we couldn't really keep eye contact with each other half of the time, we didn't even wanna eat infront of each other like we were being really stiff around the first few minutes, we were playing a card game and I'd look at him and he'd look away sometimes when I caught him staring but I'd do the same a bit. we played a card game and when we'd exchange cards we were scared to touch each other like idk I was just SUPER nervous It was my first date and he said it was his second, but after a while though we walked around and talked and laughed, we got on the swings and stuff too and talked for a while. we ended up sitting down for the rest of the time and we were like far apart on the bench watching baseball just talking. at that point we got more comfy around each other which was good. while we were sitting down he showed me a picture on his phone anddd we were just talking about random things. he stated he was "tired" and he laid down on the bench. his head was super close to my lap and I think he wanted to lay on it but I'm not sure... I think he was just tired? but then he ended up sitting up after like 3 minutes. he got more closer to me on the bench from where he started which I noticed and we were just vibing, but when things were getting just right I had to go :( I apologized for leaving early and he said it's fine, he said he had a good time, and we texted all night after. we planned a movie next so I'm looking forward to that

was this a normal first date? like I noticed he wouldn't look at me like, he'd sneak looks or something? but I'd do the same thing too.. I don't know

TL;DR: first date
