ScienceGal Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Hi, Everyone! I haven't been on here in a while, so wanted to pop back in and say that I have a third date this week! My last relationship ended last fall and I haven't really made a connection with anyone until now. I've been on dates, but they never felt quite right. It's still so new, but it's nice to be attracted to someone on multiple levels and have zero red flags or bad gut feelings. We have similar interests and energy levels, so I am looking forward to getting to know him more. Anyway, just wanted to be a little beam of positive news. To those struggling, it does and will get better! Hoping for an amazing date... and a kiss! 10

salparadise Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Good to hear! I hope it works out great for you. I always like hearing success stories amid all the struggles and frustration that people go through. Great relationships are just as much about intention, acceptance and choosing a way to be as they are about finding someone who can reciprocate. 3

Author ScienceGal Posted May 24, 2016 Author Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Date #3 involved a lot of fun and laughing, then #4 was a little more romantic. Everything feels right, and I can see myself moving forward into a relationship with this guy, and he feels the same about me. I'm having a huge influx of various feelings though, mostly excitement, but also skepticism and some fear. I'm finding it difficult to believe that I might have actually found a wonderful and compatible partner. I know I have to be brave and vulnerable, but it's scary. Date 5 is coming up this week and I am going to do my absolute best to push the negative thoughts away and just be completely open and loving. That's the only way our connection will strengthen and ultimately lead to the kind of relationship I want. Breathe. Believe. Accept. Edited May 24, 2016 by ScienceGal
angel.eyes Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Congrats on finding someone! He sounds like a great guy. It's easy to get overly anxious and worry about what ifs, and then to start behaving in a way that undermines the budding relationship. Like you said, try to breath. You've finally connected with someone who seems like a great guy. You're on the same page and there's mutual interest. Kewl! Try to relax and enjoy this period. Early dating is exciting, and fun. You're filled with anticipation whenever you think of the person. Try not to miss out on all of the fun parts of this stage of dating because you're preoccupied with worry about everything that could go wrong. Sit back and just try to enjoy the ride and getting to know him better. 1
