Dating anxiety is a psychological condition characterized by feelings of fear, nervousness, and apprehension in relation to dating and romantic relationships. Individuals with dating anxiety may experience intense worry or panic about social interactions, rejection, or the potential for failure in romantic pursuits. This type of anxiety can significantly impact an individual's ability to form and maintain healthy relationships, and may also contribute to feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and avoidance of social situations. Treatment for dating anxiety may involve therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and support to help individuals overcome their fears and develop more confidence in dating situations.
