Is it normal to get overanxious/overexcited over this????

So my friend tells me a friend of hers found a guy that she thought would be perfect for me. She said he thinks I'm beautiful but was too shy to talk to me all last year. Then she pulls out her phone and shows me a picture of this guy that I've been seeing around campus (he had his chem class right before mine, etc) and I've honestly been crushing back on him all year too.
She said they wanted to set us up (I don't know his name and it's a new school year so I don't know if I'll see him on my own otherwise).
I'm SUPER anxious and worried that they were just joking that they should get us together and just saw it as a funny coincidence.
I have kinda bad anxiety or I would ask her if she was serious but I'm too scared to!!!

    It's understandable that this makes you anxious and it's always awkward when someone tries to set you up. But forget about your friends. There's a guy you like and he probably likes you back. It's worth a shot. All you really need is his name.
    Then maybe just hit him up on social media or something and say hi. If he likes you back I'm sure it's gonna go just fine. And even if not there's nothing really bad that could happen.
    Wish you luck :)

    Hey lovely!
    As someone who also has really bad anxiety, I completely understand where you are coming from!! Yes it is totally normal to be feeling that way! People who don't have anxiety probably won't get it or won't think it is 'normal' but I promise you, it is for someone who has anxiety!

    You just can't let all the what-ifs consume you and make it hard to enjoy yourself. And remember, even if this doesn't work out, it doesn't mean that all relationships won't work out.

    Stay positive & good luck!

    If you're this anxious and fearful just at the prospect of a possible relationship, I reckon you need to do something about your mental state before you even consider getting into a relationship.

    Anxiety is manageable with the appropriate professional help and I suggest you seek it out while you're still young.
