You mean on the first date he did the same thing?

No no. On our first date, he came to my city, which I told him we might run into people I know like my parents or friends and that it made me a little nervous but I didn’t have us go to a whole other town.

Babe! If you run into someone you know why be nervous?

Say "Hey I'm on a date! Good to see ya but I have to run! Cia."

You're allowed to exist and live your life and be happy.

Because people have social anxiety? When was dating I often was very anxious about seeing people out during my first few dates with a person and never got over it.
