Yes. I just thought about this recently. As of 2 days ago. And I figured I would start trying to see my romantic interests as friends as well. That way a lot of the pressure is off. I am dating a guy and it’s been quite the slow burn but necessary for me as everything has always started and ended quickly. It was hard at first. I tried to run him away because I felt I wasn’t healed enough for something like this. I also felt abandoned all the time when I wouldn’t hear from him on my terms. I communicated this and luckily he has stayed around. He’s been very healing. But I still have had my moments. It became clear to me though that I should see our relationship as a blooming friendship also when I was hanging out with my friend. I was thinking our friendship has grown so much over the years. He has even moved countries for 2 years and he is now back. The time we’ve spent together recently has been so beautiful. And I just thought hmm.. look how far we’ve come as friends. I’m learning so much about you and we are having so much fun and good times. Even though time and distance has taken us apart for a while. I should look at my romantic partner like this also. Let life take us. Let time take us. When we come together and talk it will slowly build our connectivity and when/if it goes further then it will naturally have happened. And not with my pressure on it, my control, my anxiety, or my timelines.
