Control my nerves?!

So I'm meeting up with a guy tonight, who I met a couple of weeks ago. I've only met him once to be fair, not sure if this is a date, but we're meeting up for drinks and I am absolutely petrified! I've been worrying all day about what I'm going to say, what if I come out with something stupid etc.

So what can I do to calm down? I'm a state right now, hardly someone you'd want to talk to lol. Please help me, I only have 2.5hours!

To be honest, it's quite likely that he's just as nervous.

Just be yourself really.. if you keep being nervous then you're more likely to say something stupid. If needs be, take a glass of wine or something before you go out.

After all, what's the worst that can happen? You slip up, say something silly, you laugh about it, and hey, you've got a whole new topic of conversation.

tell you what i'd do, have a nice hot bath to relax you, get a girlfriend over and carefully plan what your gonna wear and how your gonna do yoiur makeup. You'll be so busy organising that you will forget to be worried and enjoy yourself. Failing that Rescue Remedy, I swear by it.
