I am not the original poster, but I have some of the problems listed above. I have been back from seminary for almost two years and have not gone out on one date. I have spoken to a few shadchanim and just a few suggestions would come up, but i would just find an excuse not to go out with them. I want to get married very badly, but I am petrified to begin dating. I don’t know how to speak to guys and I don’t have any mentors to speak to throughout the process. I guess I just need a pep talk to get me through the anxiety before the first date.
