Dealing with Dating Anxiety: How to Keep the Conversation Going

i’ve been wanting a new partner lately and i’ve started talking to this one person today which is nice. but idk i get anxious when talking to someone new causing me to get awkward but i try my hardest to keep the convo going. but when they don’t respond but i’ve seen that they are actively it starts bringing up insecurities+ other stuff causing my anxiety to go up even more(this also goes for online friends) like ik ppl have things going on outside of the phone but yk im trying just be there for ppl and be like able + myself at the same time.
