"Nervous Wreck DEAR NERVOUS WRECK: You may be feeling he's too good to be true. Step out of your comfort zone and agree to go out with him. If his big plan seems too big, suggest that you start with coffee or a walk in the park. Take it slow and find out if he's interesting enough to let your guard down a bit."
"A few stops into my ride, a seemingly unhoused person got onto my train, and as he sat down, four or five people got up and switched their seats to move away from him. I was already on the other end of the car, but I saw it all happen. This person then got up and snapped at everyone, yelling, I'm a person, too. It was quite sad to see."
A person who has not dated recently met someone in New York who showed interest, made plans, and followed through, which triggered unexpected anxiety. The advice is to step outside the comfort zone, accept the invitation or propose a smaller first meeting such as coffee or a walk, and take things slowly to evaluate compatibility. On public transit, several passengers moved away from an apparently unhoused rider, who then objected by shouting, "I'm a person, too." The guidance is to recognize urban diversity on public transport, be mindful, and act with empathy and humanizing respect toward others.
