hey,
So im 14/f and I just started dating this guy like a week ago. We are going on our first date this weekend and I'm pretty sure he is gunna hold my hand. Anyway, last time I was at a movie with him(we weren't dating) I got really nervous and my palms started to get kinda sweaty and clammy, and like sticky ya know? Well when he holds my hand I dont want him to think"ew yuck" or something. So how do I prevent sweaty palms, or like get rid of it when it happens during the movie? Thanks for your held! -mar

I'm afraid there's only one way to prevent those sweaty hands and it's one of those 'just relax!' answers. But honestly, just relax! So he's looking fine, talking sweet and opening the door for you, you can't help but get nervouse. Chances are he's just as excited although he tends to hide it better. First off: keep talking to him! The more you focus your brain on something different, your breathing'll get slower and more even. A racing heart beat's caused by shallow breath and vise versa. Don't concentrate on your breathing too much because you'll zone out of what he's saying to you. If your hands are still acting up then you can casually excuse yourself to the bathroom and wash your hands before drying them really really well. This'll hopefully put-off the sweating a little longer.
Don't forget, he's probably nervous too. If he's sincere about you, he'll ignore your hand and just be happy you accepted him!
GoOd LuCk!
