Hi everyone. I (22M) met a woman online (21F) a couple of months ago. While we weren’t anything official, We started talking and ended up chatting pretty regularly. We called 7-8 times on the phone and eventually hung out for the first time in person last week. The hangout was nice. We ran some errands together, grabbed food and chilled out. The thing was that throughout the time of hanging out with her, I was quite nervous. I’m usually a confident guy, but I definitely underestimated my nerves in meeting her. It resulted in me not being able to eat anything (my appetite completely shuts down with anxiety, so I had to bring the food home to eat it) and me acting a bit shy and closed off, not displaying my full personality (which is quite large) We actually talked about it while hanging out and I told her that I was nervous and a bit anxious. She completely understood and was very sweet about it. When she dropped me off at my house, we hugged and I thanked her for paying for food, and told her that the next time we hung out, it was on me. She said she would love to hangout again when I asked. I apologized once again for my nerves and she didn’t seem bothered whatsoever and told me that “it takes time for people to warm up to one another” and to text her once I got inside. Thing is that since then, she hasn’t responded to my texts I sent 4 days ago. I even tried to call her last night but no response. I’m kind of hurt and confused. I understand she’s a very busy woman, but I’m afraid my anxiety ruined her impression of me and she got weirded out or something. How can I cope from this? Advice would be greatly appreciated. TLDR: hung out with a woman I’ve been talking to online for the first time. Was nervous and anxious throughout the hangout. She understood and wanted to hang again.
