I [22M] started talking to [24F] on tinder and she’s interested in getting to know me. I’ve never been more anxious in my life.

Backstory: I recently got out of a long and abusive relationship and not only did she ruin my personality but also my sense of self worth. Thanks to the advice of another community I’m Attempting to work through it myself

I’ve never taken dating apps seriously because I’ve experienced nothing but ghosting or anonymous hookups. I matched with this girl who’s way out of my league IMO and not only did she swipe right on me but even after I sent her another picture of me on Snapchat she said she wanted to talk and get to know me better. I never thought I’d have any chance much less an opportunity like this. I’m super anxious and I just don’t know how to handle this. I know the basics of holding a conversation but knowing me I’ll screw this up in a massive way. I don’t know how to go about this without letting anxiety get the best of me. What advice do y’all have for me?
