How Do I not freak out?

I like this one guy A LOT. And Well there was this dance on febuary 1st. ANd it would be the first time we ever met. Our friends both know eachother. my bestfriend is good friends with him so its all good. When I saw him though i got Scared. I freaked out completley. I couldnt even say anythign except ';um'; And it only made it worse when he wanted to dance with me.

And if i think he's going to some place like the movies. I wont want to go because he'll be there. I am a afraid of rejection and he knows this because we had a deep converstaion on march 29th-30th.'

I just wanna know how do I NOT freak out when i see him. because i will be seeing him this friday at a dance. And i'm hoping i'll be able to dance with him, but i' afraid of getting scared, running off and making a bad impression like I did the first time.

So any help?

Thanks!How Do I not freak out?
controlled breathing. In through your noes and out through your mouth. usually when someone ';freaks out'; their breathing goes all crazy and by controlling it you become more calm.How Do I not freak out?
Be confident with yourself. This guy needs to get to know you, so you have to be willing to let him.
just take a deep breath and find your happy place and calm your self down and then start talking just not to much bu still talk and tell him things you think he'd want to know so good luck!!!!
Think about it, it sounds like he is interested in you, which you should try thinking he thinks your beautiful and really likes you. Don't freeze up, make your personality shine. Think about it positivley, not negativley. I think if you changed your mind set it would really help you.
awww sweetheart, dont freak out, just stay calm , breath and be yourself. honeslty though, if he does not like you for who you are, then hes not the guy you wanna be around... you wanna find the guy whos just right for you and loves you for you!

good luck hun! be strong and confident.. everyone is pretty and has their own beauty and i bet your gorgeous :)

hope everything works out great.. best of wishes xox :)
talk to yur friend about him and ask questions about him so youll know him a little bit. but just have confidence and when u see him just think positive. and untill friday just keep yur mind focused on other things cus if u over think the dance with him then yur gonna get more nervous, adn if u dont go then he might wonder if u like him or not. and at the dance if u ever start to feel out of place or shy or anything like that just keep yur friends close to u and just hang out with them and during the dance if yur really uncomfortable just say yur going to the bathroom with yur friends and talk to them about how u feel and maybe they can help straighten things out for u. but just be yourself.

good luck! :)
