Dating anxiety

I've recently put myself back out there after almost 2 years of being single. Went on dates with 3 guys from OLD. All nice blokes but no spark. Finally met someone nice and I like him, a lot. Only been on two dates but we click really well and I would be gutted if it wasn't reciprocal. I've never liked someone so much so quickly. It's nice, and exciting, but I have such low self esteem that I am constantly waiting to be let down. I'm literally waiting for him to text and say he doesn't want to see me again, or to ghost me entirely.

Does anyone else find the early days of dating really draining and stressful? I'm trying not to get too invested too quickly but at the same time, can't stop thinking about him...

It's only natural to feel guarded at first, your still getting to know him but if he's a decent guy and really wants to be with you then he will put in the effort, you can't predict what will happen so just enjoy it for now.

I think you need to work on your self esteem. Do you think you have much to offer? Or do you think you are lucky he is interested in you?

I think your self esteem is a far bigger priority than a new man. What do you think?
