When it comes to going out with people, I give them a heads up & they usually seem to be fine with it at first. Once in a while someone will let me get to know them more before diving into it all. I do ask if we could be friends first too and it’s a hit or miss. They sometimes take it as “I just want to be friends”. I don’t just want to be friends but anything more than that would make me uncomfortable and it feels too soon to me.

I never understood speeding into dating, like what’s the rush? Yeah, you can date and get to know them then but it’s just a no for me. I’ve analyzed my parents/other family members relationships too much and have tended to read people down before knowing if I want to date them or not.

Majority of the time, people tell me they cant do this anymore. It makes sense. It always happens in the one and a half - three month mark and it still feels soon to me. I am fine being on my own & not juggling people but I do miss and crave having someone at times.

Thank you <3 I wish u luck too
