I’ve started seeing somebody I’ve previously known, we had a couple of dates around 4 years ago, and I really like her.
She said she really likes me too and we’re going to see where it goes with getting to know each other more.
We’d been on a couple of dates a few years ago but both not in good places emotionally after break ups so didn’t take it further but we’ve both been single for a while now so there’s no baggage this time around.
My problem is my tendency to never feel good enough and overthink stuff.
I’ve done CBT and counselling over the past couple of years which has addressed these things but dating again seems to bring it out.
She asked me out, she’s not shy and has been the one to initiate kissing each time we say goodbye, she’s sent me flowers and has told me she really likes me as a person, thinks I am beautiful and fancies me.
I hope that doesn’t sound like big headed-ness, it’s just for context of how silly I know I’m being!
I just feel like she’s just an amazing person, beautiful inside and out and I have a tendency to not feel good enough.
I’d really like to be able to push it aside and just get on and enjoy the dating and getting to know her more.
She picked up on my nerves today and said she just feels really comfortable and at ease with me which I’m really glad about but we have another date planned for later on in the week and I want to be able to enjoy it with less anxiety and rambling on!
