2 there are no strings attached u will go out and spend some time with a stranger for a couple hours and then u will come home , there is no pressure if it does not work out than at least u will have gained some experience and will be better prepared next time.
It can be daunting to date for the first time but there really is no pressure just relax and try to enjoy the night out, there is so much to talk about, friends, family, earthquake, just chat amicably and before you know it the date will be over.
