Am I Just Trying to Find Excuses
| Thu, 05-19-2005 - 2:16pm |
My girlfriend says I should just relax about the whole date thing Sat. night. I should go just to get out and realize that I am a woman and there's nothing wrong with me, I have a right to date. She says it's not like he will be having my feet for dinner or something. LOL. She says it's not like Im gonna sleep with him or have a Kissing Marathon. I dont have to do a thing I dont want to do period. I should just go out, it's only a date. Not a lifelong committment.
I do know I have been experiencing some major anxiety. Maybe Im letting my nerves get the best of me. It's kinda weird because it's like subconsciously I still somehow feel like Im doing something on my ex's back. Is that crazy. What do you guys think.

I think if you don't feel ready to date, don't push it. It would be nice to have a night out where you can relax and enjoy the evening, but if you are really bugged by this guy then you aren't going to enjoy the evening.
You are on a journey, but it's not a race to the finish line.
I definitely think that you should go..... after all, he knows that this is sort of "new" for you, being recently single... so it's perfectly OK for you to be honest and say "I'm really enjoying this and having a good time, but I don't want to leave you with the wrong impression because, even though this is really fun, I still don't want to put too much pressure on myself by taking anything too quickly; it wouldn't be fair to either one of us."
I guess what I'm saying is...... you were geared up enough about this to make the date in the first place.... so give it a whirl and see how it goes.
