DeeBrod83 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Hey everyone! Any advice is MORE than welcome!! So I have this fabulous new boyfriend: he's super cute, very sweet and caring, seems to really be into me, and just all around wonderful. Well, we've been dating about three weeks now and things are going famously. I've been in a couple long term, very serious relationships and I wanted to take this slow as to not freak myself out and get claustraphobic like I have a tendency of doing. Well, in the heat of a discussion I blurted out that I loved him (we were arguing over if he was too clingy and I said "I love you just the way you are!"). Well, I guess I do, but I SO wasn't ready to tell him that yet!! Now I feel like I'm freaking out that we're moving too fast and I don't want to freak him out and AHHH!! How do I take a step back and put our relationship back in the slow lane without making him feel like I'm no longer interested?? And any ideas on how to keep things from getting overheated again would be good too! I really REALLY like this guy, and can see a real future, I'm just a little bit of a commitment phob, so I do need to ease into these things or I'll wig out and run away....
moman Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 What was his response? That will determine your next step. If someone told me that I wouldn't take it in the same context as "I love you". It's equal to "you're fine now". I think you're cool.....as long as he didn't squint and act all scared away, no sweat.
superconductor Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 As long as he didn't say something like, "That's nice, dear. What's for dinner?" then you'll be fine. Stop stressing.
