Shaking All Over

[Theblip]

A middle aged friend of mine has a problem I’ve never encountered before. He’s single again after splitting from his wife a while ago, and he gets incredibly nervous when meeting women on dates. So much so, he occasionally finds himself shivering and shaking badly. He says it’s like suddenly getting a big chill, and it can last for quite a few minutes which is not exactly attractive to ladies he hopes to impress. Any sensible thoughts, ideally how he can prevent these happening (other than not going on dates)?

Alcohol.

He should put his clothes back on, winter's always cold.

it's going to be 30 degrees this week, Canary, so that's probably not the solution at the moment.

Sounds like some sort of mild panic attack. Has he tried deep breathing to calm himself?

Is it only on ‘ dates’ he has this reaction ?

[Theblip]

Anne, I think it is

[Theblip]

Jno, thank you but apparently his breathing is not affected

[anneasquith]

Maybe ‘ dating’ is not something he should pursue at the moment ?
