The most important thing to me, is to be happy with yourself. If you are in a place where you are ready for a commitment and believe this is the right person for you, then let go off your anxiety and need for him to feel the same. I found that holding on to the stress and uncertainty of a relationship is what causes it to break down. Have faith in yourself, and do not worry if he feels the same. If it doesn’t work you will have no regrets. Insecurities are often passed to the ones we love the most. So by seeking his constant approval and acceptance you passed him your insecurities. Be yourself, put your fears aside and let him go at his own pace. Does it matter how fast you get to the finish line?… or that you get there at all? it’s the journey that matters most.
