I said yes to a second date and now I'm dreading it

I went on a date with a couple recently. I've been a unicorn before, so I'm not completely new to the experience, but I wasn't sure whether it was something I still wanted - and, honestly, I'm still not sure. The date itself was fine! We had fun, and afterward I wanted to see them again, so told them as much. But now I'm looking at my calendar and feeling overwhelmed. Instead of excitement, I'm feeling a lot of dread and obligation around fitting this date in.

I've been a unicorn before, so I'm not completely new to the experience, but I wasn't sure whether it was something I still wanted - and, honestly, I'm still not sure.
