In this video, Dr. Frankie breaks down dating anxiety—what it is, why it happens, and how to manage it. Feeling nervous is normal, but if anxiety is holding you back, it’s time to unpack what’s really going on.
Whether you overthink every text, fear rejection, or feel inexperienced, shifting your focus to what you can control can make dating less overwhelming. And like anything else, practice helps. The more you put yourself out there, the easier it gets.
