I'm 22 years old, for the majority of last year I was in a very long distance relationship with a guy in Asia. We were together in my country for a few months but on opposite ends so we only met each other 4 days in total. It was difficult but our relationship was mostly emotional and through skype. 

We broke up in May and recently I joined Okcupid. I received a message from a guy recently and we seem to have hit it off. Its only been a few days but it's been very comfortable with him. I'm meeting him tomorrow and we're having a beach date. 

I'm getting increasingly anxious about this though. Prior to this date, I went on a date with another guy a few weeks ago. I thought it went well but he didn't contact me after which knocked my confidence quite a bit. I was really nervous that day and I let him do most of the talking, I know it was a mistake but I felt a little overwhelmed.. I'm not used to spending "romantic" time with a guy. With the ldr, he was my first boyfriend! 

With this new guy, I'd love for it to work because he is very sweet. He's never dated anybody as young as me so he'll probably be very nervous as well.. He's already talking about going on a second date with me so I feel like even if tomorrow doesn't go as smooth, he'll still be understanding. 

I have a stutter which increases the anxiety but usually is controlled with a speech technique. This is a little aspect to why I feel so shy around people, especially guys. 

How can I calm myself down?
What can I do to keep the conversation going as easy as I do in our texts?

I feel lost as to what we should even talk about..
