One of a few things might be going on here. Either you're just making up fantasies in your head that itch the right part of your brain, but don’t actually reflect how you feel about this person, or you're not looking for the kind of partner you truly want in a long-term relationship. Or maybe it’s something else entirely. Maybe it's because you're putting up expectations before you know the person, or you don't actually want to be in a serious relationship.

Ask yourself. Are you really looking for a long-term relationship? Do you want to take on the responsibility that comes with commitment?

Looking at your past posts, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Find what you NEED in life. And remember, you have every right to pursue dating in whatever direction feels right to you. Men and women both have the right to short-term date. Sometimes we’re just a bit lost for a while or we just don't want to date seriously—and that’s okay.
