I (F24) was single for the past two and a half years, occasionally going on dates or having hookups, but nothing that would turn serious. Now few weeks back I started dating this new guy (34) and it looks quite promising, but some strong feelings of anxiety creeped in. 

Last time we saw each other was yesterday and I was so tense Im sure I made a terrible companion. It was like my brain functioned on autopilot, I could respond to stuff and perhaps hold small talk, but he likes to talk about deep stuff and I just couldnt form any clever thoughts, made an idiot of myself multiple times. Also I had to force myself to eat cos I had zero apetite and I've spent the night at his place and couldnt sleep either. I really like him and I'm afraid that unless I can be my normal funny and thinking self around him, he ll get bored of me fast.

And I actually had the same feelings in my last relationship, but over the years I almost forgot about them. My last bf luckily had patience with me, but not sure this one will get to know the real me before he gives up.  

Anyone has simmilar experience? 
Thanks in advance for any tips or support ❤
