Something like: “I’ve had a bit of a bad day, but I’m really glad to see you. Let’s have fun together.” or “I was having a bit of a bad day, but you really helped me take my mind off it. Thank you.”
You’ll feel heard. By the end of the date, they’ll feel like they helped you feel better, which will also make them feel good.
Man if I ever get to a first date again I’ll be so anxious I tell them I’m completely fine
