Awkwardness!

Ok so I’m seeing someone new and everything is making me awkward, we have the same model car different colours and I don’t think he knows because he’s only ever picked me up in his car I’ve not drove and now I’m seriously feeling awkward, I can’t explain why because there really is nothing wrong with it is there???

It's a total non issue, it has no relevance or meaning in any way.

Is it just the new relationship that's making you feel worried about minor things, or is it something you've encountered before?

If I’m honest I think it’s because I’ve been on my own for so long and I’m not sure why I find it awkward at all, I think maybe more the fact I don’t know if he knows if you get me, I know I sound totally ridiculous even saying it x

It's not a thing that is important or relevant to "know". He may not even notice or care enough to comment on if he does notice. It's not a significant item of knowledge.

It sounds like it's nerves due to the unfamiliarity of being in a new relationship that's making you focus on minor issues. Try to push out the intrusive thoughts with specific positive thoughts about meeting up with him.

Yes your right, thank you!
I just wanted to see if it was just me who thought it was an awkward thing or if he may feel the same but I think it’s just me to be honest. X

It's a coincidence unless you weirdly went out and bought the same car?

It's something you just say "oh ha ha, just realised we've got the same model car, great minds think alike, eh?" and you both smile.

But if you feel awkward about everything in the relationship, maybe there's something else going on? Do you suffer anxiety generally? Or is it being with this man in particular? If it's the latter, listen to your gut.

It’s just a funny thing xD you’re fine. If you don’t think it’s a big deal, it won’t be a big deal.

what would be awkward would be if you make a thing out of it.

This reminds me of a TikTok about what women find to be an "ick" in new relationships 🤣🤣🤣 little things that aren't really a big deal but you just can't get over it. I once dated this guy when I was younger and everything about him was great but I just couldn't get over that he wore T-shirts that were too short all the time. He wore medium but definitely should have been large and it just looked odd and I couldn't get over it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Usually when you get these little feelings it's your intuition saying something isn't right, but you can't put your finger on what it is, so you notice something superficial.

Depends what Car it is. If it's something really unique or special, it would be weird that you never mentioned it to him. If it's a ford or a something common, not something I would ever even think of mentioning

My now husband and I had the same model of car bought from the same garage in a village neither of us lived in, had the same music CDs, same special edition Canon camera... it was weird, but we got over it.😀

Thanks for all the replies guys I think I’ve realised I’m being awkward about something very silly I do tell myself this as it’s just a car lol but sometimes the mind gets the better of us 😂 x
