    Hi again,

    Try to live your life. I know how it feels. I always think of that anxiety as a trick of the mind, because when we kiss someone we like there is a whole package of hormones going up to your head. Live your life, make your life great, have fun, do things on your own and for yourself and get your mind distracted so you don’t feel that anxious. This will help you be more patient. If he comes back to you is because is meant to be, if he does not is because is meant to be that way too. But let him come back to you, you don’t have to follow up.

    I like Anita’s advice “Here is a different way to look at things: you are amazing and I hope he doesn’t “screw this up”!”

    Always keep in mind that you are the one worth being chased by. Letting our anxiety dictate the decisions we take is like letting a baby decide what they want to eat. When I feel this way, I usually breathe deeply and think “hey there anxiety, I know you are there and I will take care of you” and I keep breathing until I feel better. Being patient is all you need. Good things will come to you when you wait and your positive energies will attract positive things.

    Hi,

    I have been there recently and by reading your post I felt very related. I understand your anxiety, but just remind yourself, as Anita said that this is only momentary, that it will go away. The beginning of dating someone is complicated. You don’t want to suffocate the other person, you want to find a space where you can navigate on your own and feel comfortable enough to let someone else inside your life. This will create an atmosphere for a healthy relationship. I would advise you to be patient, let him lead your first encounters and with a few more dates you will be able to know him better and know why he acts the way he acts. Do not ever think that he is not that into you, he is if you guys already kissed, but if you act like you are more into him that he is into you, that will scare him away. Try to see it on another perspective, think when someone is really really into you and you aren’t sure if you are that into them, you tend to run away…. maybe.

    Cultivating patience is a skill that takes a lot of time but gives great results. When you are patient and learn to accept the perfect timing of things, everything that will come to you will feel natural and not forced. Hence, it will feel better and probably become a better experience. Try to learn to wait, to meditate and wait until the universe finds your energy so that the things that happen around you are meant to happen to you.

     

    good luck,

    J
