Just continue going forward even tho you sound nervous. The cool ones will like it.
I mean even beyond that, nervousness is both cute and flattering.
Seeing someone nervous in front of you is basically social padding, it makes you feel big based on how much they make themselves feel small.
Real recognize real. How would you rather meet your soulmate, them using some bullshit they read in a magazine on you, or by getting panic-vomited on by them? I know what I'd choose.
Someone panic-vomiting on you might be a total stalker crazy loon, while the person using bullshit they read in a magazine at least shows they're trying.
