An item of importance is to try not to put too much pressure on the situation. Just be friendly and see if you hit it off.

In practice this is difficult when you’re new to dating, but honestly you want to find someone you’re comfortable around (to a certain value of comfortable at first).

Most dates in my life were great. You’ll probably make some embarrassing mistakes, but the worst that can happen (within reason) is that you’re back where you are now.

I disagree on that last part that's not the worst that can happen

Like I said, “within reason.” Obviously worse things could happen. They probably won’t.
