It doesn’t sound like your date is the problem. It sounds like your friend is stirring the pot and making you anxious. 😕 Why not take her “wisdom” with a grain of salt and focus on the relationship you have with your date, instead of your friend. 😉 Whether or not your kiss your date is really between you and your date. So, relax — if you can! 😉 Enjoy getting to know this date, and see how you feel day by day, moment to moment — and take the date’s cues, not your friend’s.
I hope that helps!
