Just be present in the moment, don’t over think shit, which is what happens to our male brain…

OP, you are supposed to be excited to go on a date with a new person! You guys each decided to take a chance on meeting each other and that’s both validating and exhilarating, whether it works out or not! Enjoy, and good luck!

I know that I'll have to take it slow with her to build something from scratch

Dude, you haven't even met this person. Either you, or her, may want to run away within five minutes of saying hello. You need to totally and completely reset expectations.

" I know that I'll have to take it slow with her to build something from scratch, but I believe you can't look back to move forward cause that other person might be looking for you and you might miss them."

Any thoughts of building anything are premature and set some pressure and expectations unnecessarily. It's just fucking dinner. Go, enjoy, see where it goes. Try not to bitch too much about your respective divorces, unless that's what you both want and can offer each other. Also, she may just want to get down. Act without expectation.

Good luck.

Don't get one-itis. Don't put any pressure on this or get your hopes up. Statistically speaking, there's a near zero percent chance this person should be the next love of your life.

Just treat it like she's an interesting person you want to know and ask her questions to get to know her better. Don't get attached to the outcome. If you can do that, you'll be more natural and charming on the date and it also protects you a bit.

Dating in the middle ages is like shopping for clothes at a thrift shop. There’s always a reason for it to have been donated.

You go for it, just take your time, and give yourself, both a chance. I'm wishing you good luck, and I do hope it works out for both of you. 👍

Relax and have fun meeting a new person who is at least somewhat interested in you

Good luck.
