It's not so much advice I need....
I suppose I'm struck by the irony that confidence is something that deserts us when we rely on it most and this post is more about this annoying observation.
Secondly, I'm interested to know how everyone else deals with nerves in general. I had to deliver a best man's speech on Saturday that went down a storm, but I'd had a few glasses of wine beforehand to settle my nerves down.
Obviously alcohol is taboo because a) I'm driving, b) said lady is teetotal.
And I suppose I was hoping to settle my nerves by hearing everybody else's bad date stories.....
Everyone feels the same... she'll be feeling it too... spike her drink with some vodka* as she's a teetotal, she'll be dunk after a single drink. Then you can relax in the knowledge that she will be far less inhibited than you and probably won't remember much of your stupid mistakes and comments.
*I do not condone spiking anyone's drink with vodka in an effort make them more suggestable or for any other reason.
