Help!!! Dating anxiety

[judy]

One of the men I've been emailing back and forth with asked me out in today's email! I'm going to go, but it's really hard to begin dating again. I'm scared about taking the risks relationships bring, plus having annoying bad dates!

I emailed him this morning and told him that I was not 51 (the age I put down in my profile). I said that if it was a problem, to please let me know.

I decided that I'm going to have to be honest. I am who I am - take it or leave it.
I will leave my profile age at 51 though. Otherwise nobody I want to be with is going to get in touch with me. It's just hows it is.
