"Anyone else get really nervous when they like someone?" Thu Apr-09-15 05:54 PM by MizClayton
I just start worrying!
---oh, he's not going to like me back ---he'll like me a little, but not that much ---I'm going to get hurt, because I'm the one who clearly likes him more than he likes me ---he's going to start the fade away in a month or two ---I'm low on his list of options

I just assume they will and dont get excited or enthusiastic or interested in anyone anymore.

I just know most first dates are last dates even if they go well enough that I'm told they want to see me again. Reality is people do have a lot of options. There's no point in getting excited about someone you've met once or twice or be preoccupied over whether or not they like you. On the flip side I'm pleasantly surprised if I ever hear from someone I've met again.

Yeah I'll show interest. I go on dates a couple times a year so not really. No they're not always strangers.

i just try to live in the moment enough to enjoy it for whatever it is or is going to be all of those things you named aren't things i can control, so i just try to be myself and not worry about it too much now that i have known heartbreak intimately, i know i can move on (wounded tho i may be) soooo

Yea its rough, its as if that person has taken over your entire body and mind, a total loss of control. Though the older I get the less intense this feeling is, perhaps I'm slowly becoming immune to its effects. Only thing that really helps me function early on with someone is to put them in their place, meaning, when I'm with them I'm with them and when I'm not I focus 100% completely on something else.

You know you are truly alive when you feel so intensely and with so much hope. Try to enjoy it, and embrace the nervousness and see where it takes you. It's possible he is just as nervous as you are, you truly never know. Closing the gap with warmth is a unique and amazing experience. I hope it works out.

Meaning I'll just put it all out there to see if they're remotely on the same page. I can deal with rejection better than I can ambiguity and the anxiety of the unknown.

so when i start liking somebody i dont even really act like i like them i just kinda exist in their space and let them exist in mine until something good happens i remember something you wrote on here "just let life happen" thats the best approach i can think of when dating
