It's always a little nerve-wracking to meet new people, but it's especially terrifying to go out on a first date.
This story goes out to everyone who's gotten nervous on a first date, and to everyone who has jumped in to help.

Tim's Twitter thread chronicles the story while he throws in little snippets of his own reactions.
