There’s a madwoman at the wheel

I’m in bed, still awake well after getting off work, thinking about going on this date this weekend. I’ve become such a creature of habit that it’s genuinely uncomfortable to feel excited about this.

I was talking to somebody recently about this and concluded that I’ve built up something of a shell when it comes to relationships where I never even give people a chance… yet I’d be lying if I didn’t say I haven’t already thought of reasons not to go through with date 2. And that concerns me, because that’s such neurotic behavior that it seems problematic.

I don’t know what kind of trauma has caused me to be this way, but I’m trying not to. I’m definitely going on the date and I’m giving this girl a chance. I’m excited, and that’s spooky because this just isn’t what I do. But literally every one of my friends said exasperated things like “finally!” and the like, and I trust my friends.

Why is it the dumb simple things that are always so hard? Anyway, here’s an emoji because I don’t know how to close out this post about silly worries. :spoutingwhale:

I can relate to how you feel, Erin. But your friends are right, and it will be fine. :)

There are many things I don't want to do but find they are necessary in the achievement of some goal have. Consciously I spend minutes and minutes coming up with reasons to not move forward with them. I've found that I can let go of my conscious resistance and let my subconscious mind/body do all of the heavy lifting. The necessary thing gets done and the whole experience is not even half as bad as I imagined it might be.

I don't know why but when I read the title to this thread I envisioned a giant frosted cookie driving a car. The cookie had no arms and was just spinning clockwise and counterclockwise. There was not clear Physics involved. I believe it had white frosting and sprinkles. I hope this helps. My dating advice certainly wouldn't.

That's what Dumb Me™ is afraid of. She wants to stay single because won't this mess with my freedom? Won't this affect my schedule? So on and so on. Don't worry, she's in time out.

There is no knowing how things will work ou till you give them a chance.
It might turn out to be just another date. it could lead to an affair or a long term relationship or a firm platonic friendship.
Just go with the flow and enjoy the date for what it is. these thing are usually decided for themselves by chemistry.

This is true. I'm not worried about chilling and being able to get along and get a feel for her. I'm literally just scared of the implications of it going well. I'm very silly I guess.

Let it develop, if a relationship grows, cool, if not then obviously not compatible and you have good memories.

No, a relationship does not necessarily mess with freedom but it needs to be a strong relationship... Trust me on this.

I am looking forward to picking out the top-notch, special occasion, cutest outfits. And probably rotating through all of them 5 times before deciding.
