This will be my 3rd date in 7 months so because of my scarcity issues i'm feeling a little nervous. I met her at a singles event 2 weeks ago and we kept pushing the date back due to work related issues. However, yesterday we finally agreed we will meet for drinks this Tuesday.

I feel like my last two dates weren't successful due to my lack of leadership and escalation. I want to know what I can do to fix that this time around.

I'm 26, so the age difference has me feeling a little uncomfortable. I know what some of you guys say about women over 30, but I find her to be very attractive, and i'm interested in seeing how this all plays out. Problem is I just don't want to ruin this date, like I ruined the others.

Any advice?

Edit: I don't have my own place yet, i'm still living with my family.
