My (M22) first date with close friend (F21)
I (22m) confessed my feelings for a college friend (21F) and it was a super mature conversation where she said she has feelings but needed time to think about trying things out do to various complicated things in her life i dont fully need to go into.
We continued hanging out like normal but continued getting closer and then right before we went home for winter break she said she wants to go on a date when we get back. We’ve texted every day over break and facetimed once and everything has felt normal but i feel nervous for the real date do to our long term friendship and not being able to leave a romantic impression.
For the first date, I’m planning on bringing her a flower, taking her out to dinner, and possibly going to get drinks after if the vibes are right. Is this good for a first date with a long term friend and does anyone have advice for making it romantic?
