"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

ugh

I hate liking someone!

How can I change this thinking?

And usually, I have to like them more than they like me....and hopefully we build to where it's even.

But then I've been single forever, so obviously the shit don't work regardless

and omg i'm kind of intrigued by how little things have changed for me
including the butterflies, the nervousness, the overthinking & neurosis

so much about me has evolved and changed, but it's hilarious to me that this has not really changed

i love it though
i'm not nearly as jaded as my deadpan sarcasm leads me to believe

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.

I'm talking about once you like someone do you show interest or play cool?

is it always about the next 1st date?

is it always a 1st date with a total stranger?

sorry but this sounds.... like a job.

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.

Who wants to date someone who doesn't give you butterflies?

I'd rather be nervous than bored.

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
