Dating - Anxiety!

Maybe I just have anxiety issues -- as this came up last weekend w/ my family and now again w/ dating.  I started dating again recently.  I have been out with ~7-8 guys on first dates and a couple on second dates. 

I am going out again with this man Gregory tonight.  The last time we went out he kissed me (I mean REALLY kissed me!) after walking me to my car outside of the restaurant.  He is the first person I have felt that vavaVOOOM with :) since my ex-husband.  

Tonight we are going for a ride on one of his motorcycles and then he is cooking dinner.  I haven't been on a motorcycle since I was 18.  eek!

Ugh - I'm stressed.  I think I develop feelings too quickly.  I hope he feels that same way and things go great tonight.  Wish me luck.

GIRL!!!!!

Cool your heels and ENJOY the RIDE!!!! I doubt he would have REALLY kissed you if he didn't have some feelings there too you know what I mean. 

Relax... Relate... Release

 

Good luck and HAVE FUN!!!

Girl, enjoy this moment!  I'm sure he is feeling you because he wouldn't be going out with you if he didn't!  Good luck and have FUN!

Speaking on behalf of all Gregory's everywhere (the "G" in G5x5), he's got my vote!

Clearly we are a special group worthy of more than two dates LOL!

You sound just like me when I was dating.  I would get stressed and constantly wonder what he was thinking/feeling about me.  It took a while and some therapy for me to learn ways to stop doing it.  Once I did, though, it made dating so much more fun.  I have a guy friend who I can talk to about anything and I would talk to him after just about every single date.  Being able to get it all out without fear of judgement and knowing that I'd get good feedback was important.  He would give me great advice, as well.  So, keep talking - here or to a close friend....whatever.

As the others have said, he wouldn't have kissed you or made plans to make you dinner if he wasn't into you at all.

Good luck tonight and ENJOY!!!

I'm sure you realize a lot of men do he online dating thing just looking for sex. If he is inviting you over this soon, I worry he may be one of them. Some people do sleep together early on and go on to live happily ever after, but many more do not. My advice is not to rush. You deserve a great guy.
