Is this my gut or my overthinking? What do you think?

Online date, met 6 times, each date been about a day long. Not slept together yet but have been close in that department Grin

For context, I am a huge overthinker. My job is to write, all day everyday, for a magazine and I often think this puts me in a constant analytical mindset..wondering if me and him are connecting when we’ve text, analysing what he’s said!

But...I rarely meet anyone I like, in fact I haven’t in over 6 years. He’s prompted each date, he’s been in touch every day or so. We have spoken on the phone here and there. When I see him he’s hugely respectful, not pushy about sex (I’ve said I want to wait).

Something inside me feels so wary! Although I am like this about most things in life, usually when dating I don’t feel this way as I don’t really care how the other person feels! This time I do care how he feels because I like him, properly like him.

I can’t work out if this is my gut saying ‘hang on, be cateful, step back,’ or if it’s just me looking for problems when there aren’t any! On the face of it he has been a total gent and I get all the feels with him! I feel confused and don’t want to mess it up Sad

U can still be careful and also just go with it and take each date as it comes

Well if your gut tells you run...run!
If it tells you to be wary...be wary!
If it tells you to wait...wait!

Your gut is telling you not to fuck this up.
