Met a guy...
Been texting with a real cute guy I met through a dating app. Right from the start I noticed a click between us. Have similar humour and interests. And I kinda can't stop thinking about him, and I don't really want to either.
I'm gonna meet him face to face for the first time tomorrow. Excited and nervous at the same time. Trying my darndest to not think of doom scenarios, but it's hard. Hard to believe that this might be something good for the first time in a long time.
Wish me luck guys 😁
@Madaraismyspiritanimal . Good luck I hope he turns into the guy that you want, I was talking to a guy earlier but unmatched because of reasons so I hope to find someone else to talk to.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
I wish you good luck and happiness. Go get'm LOL
Enjoy your time and those fuzzy, warm feelings - they're the best.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
I wish you all the best. I know how you feel. I hope it turns out like you want it to be.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Good luck! Fingers crossed he's going to be alright.
It sounds like a really promising start, let's hope he really meets your expectations and is as awesome in person as he is online! I wish you the best, and like the Oasis song says, let there be love ;)
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Good luck with your date and I hope it goes well! 
I have social anxiety which makes it exceedingly difficult in situations like this, but the best relationships take time to develop, so hopefully, yours will grow and develop into a relationship where you both are happy with one another and you both share together.
Knowing this makes me happy 😊
Hope you have the best experience
So after a slight change of plans, I met the guy at his place. This fact alone made me a little nervous. Quickly after arriving those nerves proved to have been unwarranted. He was super sweet, and trying to make me at ease, and succeeding.
Without giving too many details, we had a great time together. Everything I hoped for and more. He definitely made my heart skip a beat haha.
Not entirely sure what's next, but this was a great start.
PS: thanks everyone for the encouragement, definitely helped the nerves a bit
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Not that to give out too much info, but you guys are going to meet again soon, right?
And also glad that it went good. Hope you have the best☺️
@UDT
No plans yet, but if it's up to me I wouldn't have left in the first place lol
@Madaraismyspiritanimal . i am so happy that it went well i wish you good luck
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Still it is a good start.
Keep having those conversations and enjoy the company of each other.
Is it bitchy of me to expect him to propose something for our next date. Cause in our contact so far, I've been the one reaching out first. I just wanna feel like he wants it too.
God, can you believe I've been thinking about and debating this with myself for the last 3 hours.
On one and I just want to talk to him more and what not. But I'm afraid that the feeling like he feels obligated or forced by me is gonna get worse.
Why do I do this, this has been a great thing so far, but I have to go out of my way to find problems.
Not really sure what this post is about anymore, but I guess I'm just venting 😑
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Venting out is good, it helps.
And you're a little bit overthinking, that's one of the i do. So don't worry.
Just keep it nice & easy and everything will go just fine.
@UDT
Today has been a really hard day, emotionally. A lot of new things coming my way, emotions, expectations, a whole new person.
His messages today have been a lot colder, for lack of a better word. He doesn't really answer my questions anymore.
And my brain is actively looking for any sign that he doesn't really like me. To the point I blame myself for being so naive and stupid to think anyone could like me.
I just wish I could stop thinking about this for even a minute, but I can't, it's so exhausted and depressing.
I feel stupid for thinking I could handle this, situations like this just show how fragile I am. And it disgusts me and makes me so angry and sad.
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hey, please don't worry. It's okay to feel so many emotions, we all go through that.
He also must be feeling so many things. Just take some time and know that, you're not all the bad things you said. You believe in yourself and stay positive
@UDT
Seeing how hard these first couple of days have been, I don't even want this to continue, it can die in a hole for all I care
So much for getting better through positive feedback 😂
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hey, just want to butt in and give some support. When I panick about not getting a response, I try to come up with as much scenarios as to why the other person isn't responding. It helps calm my thoughts instead of assuming its something about me.
Messaging can be really annoying. It's so devoid of emotions. I hate it. Anyway, just remember that if he isn't feeling this, it has to do with him. Not you. Don't internalize it or beat yourself down. You don't deserve it. And no one is worth you degrading yourself for. He's just as imperfect as all of us.
Maybe you can go for a walk and leave your phone behind in order to calm down a bit? It can be really frustrating, I know. But you gotta de-stress a bit.

A friend of mine told me of a book that they read a long, long time ago. They found it to be most helpful. I read a few snippets of their copy, and from what I read, the information seemed to be quite solid. "All The Rules" by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider. I hope this helps!
