So I've gone into casual dating for the first time in my life after a few long terms relationships. I didn't meet anyone IRL yet and have this terrible anxiety about meeting new people, tbh when I don't feel comfortable with someone or in the moment I'm not good at talking at all, I'm scared of being in an awkward date. I don't want to ruin this for myself as I always wanted to try dating but it's scary.


I have other pretty serious mental health troubles aside from my anxiety, and I wondered if it was a good thing to even mention during the first date at all? Should I keep this to myself?
