Quick answers
Is meeting in public first normal for Gen Z?
Very. Swipe fatigue and social performance pressure make nerves spike even when you want connection.
How do I practice before a high-stakes date?
Use low-pressure taste games or short chats where the stakes are play, not proof.
What if I freeze anyway?
Name it lightly, ask one specific question, and give yourself permission to leave on time.
