Is it normal that i feel so anxious dating this guy?

I met this nice young guy a couple of months ago around work. I find him very attractive. We started talking online, we've met up, exchanged phone numbers he's been texting several times every day the past week and a half & calling every other day... I think I like him but the whole issue is making me really anxious, so much that once he asked if he could call me I got so anxious I threw up. I've never had this problem with other guys. Normally I'm not socially anxious at all.

I'm 23 This is the first time I date someone whom I feel things have serious potential with... but I keep holding back I don't want to display more emotion than I actually feel or lead him to think that I'm more into him than I actually am at this point... He on the other hand is very spontaneous, he seems really excited and wants my attention. He is very sweet to me but I don't know what I'm so nervous about! I don't know maybe his enthusiasm scares me, I mean how well does he know me to put in all that effort?! Am I freaking out because I'm new to all this?

    Your totally freaking out~ Calm down, take a deep breath and go with the flow! It's natural to have this emotion and you need to stop being so anxious! Smoke some weed..lol jk! Seriously tho...just go with your instinct and show him that your into him and totally adore him! Men love it when women show affection and love to be wanted!
    So calm down and go get him!

    It is normal. That anxious feeling will go away after you two have had sex for the first time.

    If he were shy and systematic, then maybe you would scare him away if you showed too much emotion. But from the sound of him, you shouldn't worry about that. Tell him that you're nervous because you don't have much dating experience, and he should understand.

    its kinda cute though, I bet that if you would spend more time with him you will gradually become less nervous. for now just try not to show it that much.

    Yeah, you need to calm down. He's definitely interested.

    Maybe you need to manage your expectations a bit so that you can relax more and just be yourself.
