Paranoid or mixed signals?
Relationship Stress / by whatisdating2730

...See more Hello! I’ve just recently started dating my partner and in the beginning things were great (as all new relationships are): we talked consistently, saw each other about 2x a week, and had open conversations about where we were in the dating stage. After about a month, both of us had work trips schedule on opposites sides of the country and so we talked about staying in touch AND had the conversation about being exclusive and not seeing other people. But as the last two weeks went by I felt more and more insecure. Their texts started coming later and later, still pretty receptive and good, but the response times were crazy (4-6ish hrs in between). I tried to break communication and offer to just talk when we get back but they refused and said they want to hear from me, but the lack of communication (IMO) still persisted. We’re both back now and have plans to meet this evening but they never confirmed if they got reservations or not—I had asked twice during the week—and I feel like maybe they will back out on me? They did say when I asked about the reservations that they would call their friend first and that if they couldnt Get them then we would just go, but I don’t know I felt like that was a soft/vague answer. Am I being paranoid? I do have dating anxiety and trauma surround relationships that I’m currently working through, but I feel like I’m getting mixed signals from my dating partner and don’t know if I should address it or walk away. Advice appreciated
