I met a wonderful man, we laugh we talk we both want the same things, we are taking things slow and we know that there is a good chance that we will both want to marry each other one day, as crazy as it sounds being such early days, we both have never felt this way about anyone, we haven't even kissed yet. I am afraid though that I could stuff it up with my insecurities, my paranoia. What can I do to reduce my stress levels and fears as I really want to hold onto this one.
For some reason I never thought this would happen to me, so its like its all surreal, and I want this to happen.
Yes it is possible everything is perfect...But, don't put all your eggs inone basket at the saem time...I may only be 30 , but Beleive me when I say " I been there doen that, experienced thatone"!...Alot of times in life, especially in new relationships, both parties even may feel they are honestly and truly in love, but over time things change and dwindle or even grow , it all depends...I was with my ex for three years, after about 2 and a half years we got married, then after 2 months of being married, we started fightin all the time , and I went into hospital , an dhe left whiel I was in hospital, and it wasn't for naythinglong term (hospital thing)...My whole point is , sometimes, you just never know what can change and happen...But at the same time, you can't live your life bein skeptical and paranoid and over annalyzing everything all the time, sometimes you just gotta take a good thing for what it is...I noticed you posted this 6 moths ago...Are you still on this site?...How are things going?!?!?
Do you exercise? Because I read a book that suggested that instead of listening to an ipod or mp3 player during exercise you should repeat a self afirming mantra. Something like "I am beautiful, I am loved, I love myself, X loves me too" You can use it to count reps if you are lifting, or while you run. The idea is that A) if you repeat it often enough you will believe it, but also B) they combine with the endorphins released during exercise you will begin to feel a lot better about yourself. You have to keep them positive though, no telling yourself "Don't be paranoid" because your brain doesn't hear the "don't."
The first thing you need to do is STOP thinking about messing anything up, that is just going to make it worse. The second thing you need to remember is that if he likes you, he will stick around through thick and thin. This sounds trite, but it is TRUE. Girls tend to glom onto men, like they are the end all and be all - and that is EXACTLY what they want. You must be your OWN WOMEN. You are strong, confident and sexy. Remember that.
I agree, I do have my own life outside him and want to keep it that way, just fears from past hurts come up sometimes, and you know the old thinking that pops up.. am trying to change it, but it still pops up. - 9 months ago
Answerer
Well, I just had to walk away (mutually) from a guy I REALLY liked who also had "fears" and it hurts a lot, but I gave it my all and don't regret it, though I had fears, too. He couldn't let go of his damage, the worry that I would hurt him the same way all the other girls in his past had hurt him. Someday - maybe - he'll wake up and realize he lost probably the best woman he could have had - and then *he'll* have regrets. Don't let that happen here. Just stay true to yourself, don't play games. - 9 months ago

Myself and my fiance seem perfect together, I've never felt so in love and it is the first time I've felt as though I could spend the rest of my life...
I think everyone at one point in their lives has the lightswitch romance. It's the vicious yet often times unnoticed cycle of dating and breaking up only to date again. So why do people do it? Why...
So.. I'm in love, like crazily with a man who on paper should never be a match for me. I am 23, he is 28, he is FRENCH, white, upper middle class, and from a perfect little town called Auxerre. His...
