No, he didn't have a "condition" nor was he drunk. He came up to me to strike up a conversation. And he was nervous and shaking. I immediately liked him.
I know how it feels to get up enough courage to approach a guy and although I don't tremble, my stomach may still be in a knot......taking a chance and not knowing if i will be blown off, disrespected or welcome.
Sometimes I think shyness is very sexy in a guy. And to confront your shyness by having the balls to go up to somebody requires true courage.
Anyone else have trembling stories in a social situation.......when you, or him were very nervous? How did it turn out?

Yep. Both of us at times in the first few weeks. Turned out pretty good so far!!

He was straight...  I felt so stupid for being all scared. I probably looked like an idiot to him.

I felt so stupid for being all scared. I probably looked like an idiot to him. Same thing happened to me. Was all nervous, and felt like my stomach had moved into my throat. We had a good laugh about it afterwards, and it's nice not to have the fear on my back had I not asked him.

I agree, I think it is sexy for a man to have the courage to make himself vulnerable to another human being and who can sincerely express what he wants.

I've had several I've met be absolutely uncomfortable when I first meet them and yes, I've seen some shake from nervousness. I think its ridiculous and quickly move to make the guy comfortable with who I am... this has happened either in a social setting where I'm introduced to someone who has known (but not met me) or one on one at lunch.
As for me, I've never been that nervous when I've met someone, it generally happens when I'm about to deliver a speech or address to a group with major ramifications. I remember in law school when I had to argue a case. I about threw up.

I was in a club maaaany years ago and went up to a well known singer who was really hot in person and in a B'way show at the time. I almost barfed on his shoes out of nervousness.
I don't think he would have found me so courageous or even 'cute'.

OMG I'm nervous just walking out of my house! Every time I talk to anyone, especially hot guys, I have a myriad o things RACING through my head.
Is my zipper down Did I floss Is my hair standing up Do I have a missed "shave spot" Do I look like I have a neck Does my belt match my shoes Did I get food on my clothes Is my face twitching (my eyebrows twitch when I get REALLY nervous) I feel as unnatural as polyester, do I look that way too Have they seen me dancing on a bar and I not remember Have they seen me get in a bar fight Have we met before and I just don't remember Why do I always smile so much when I meet people Is my smile coming off as disingenuous If I pretend like I'm deaf can I get out of this exchange Is it hot in here or am I just sweating like a whore in church again
However, none of the issues ever stop me from talking to strangers, men, women, old people, homeless people. I talk too much but should probably shut up.... like right now

UNTRUE! so this may be a little off topic, but my friend hooked up with this super super hot guy who wanted to be dominated so he was very forceful and verbally abusive to him as he was going down on him. the guy gagged and threw up on my friends.. you know.  my friend panicked for 3 seconds and then told him to lick his fucking shit up... haha, he didn't want to kill the mood so the guy kept doing what he said. hahaha!

The key -- for me -- was to recall that the other guy probably was dealing with the same thing.
