I’m newly single, dipping my toe back into the world of online dating… been chatting to a guy since the weekend, so not long, but we have a date arranged for tomorrow night for drinks. I have a funny niggle about it, but I’m a chronic overthinker and not sure if I’m over analysing things.
I told him I don’t drink much (maybe twice a year max) but he’s planned some sort of pub crawl for us… I agreed to the first pub and thought I’ll have one and see how it goes, then he was listing where we’ll go next etc. I said to calm down a bit and we’ll just see what happens, we might not even like each other so best to just play it by ear! He called me the other day which is fine, I like a chat to break the ice before meeting someone. But then he called again last night, which felt a bit annoying?! I don’t like to invest a huge amount of time in someone before a first date as more often than not, they don’t work out.
He has a DD, same age as mine, but speaks fairly negatively of her mum. He’s veeeery complimentary, I find it uncomfortable but I’m naturally not great at taking compliments and maybe he’s just nice?! Example, I was doing some DIY today and I told him about it and he offered to help me. I joked that that was more of a 4th date activity, and he said ‘I know but I make exceptions for women I think are amazing… so you and only you’ and a kissy emoji… I haven’t replied, I just feel a bit put off.
Argh, I don’t know if I’m overthinking it because I’m rusty and been out of the dating scene for a while?!
