Trust me I know I can admit I ruined possibly good relationships with guys because I thought so much about “Does he like me? Is he really interested? Is he just telling me what I want to hear?” “He doesn’t act or seem interested.” Letting my thoughts eat me alive and 90 percent of the time, I was way off and had no idea what I was talking about.
Actually there’s a difference in overthinking and anxiety. @Aliyahha if you overthink that much, you may want to do some research on anxiety. There are interesting methods to stop and divert your brain, nervous system. Even search sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
I think In the sense of “Does he like me? Is he interested? He’s not really acting like it. Is he not into me?” I think women tend to overthink more in those situations and we often end up not knowing what we’re talking about and we don’t think clearly and always assume the worse and forget that people have their own reasons for doing things which have absolutely nothing to do with us lol.
Evolutionary psychology. They have to be 'selective'.

That's a hard one to answer. Because i would agree that women overthink dating. But when you see the repeated mistakes women make in dating. It makes you reevaluate that and question whether women THINK AT ALL. When it comes to dating.
@VVirgo seriously? You really want to open this up? Lol Well like for example when you choose the same guys repeatedly with the same character flaw thinking " he's different" lol. No, no he isn't! It's painful to watch you women make the same mistakes over and over again. But in actuality there is science behind this. Believe it or not both genders do it. This video explains it well https://youtu.be/Hvysy11716g
In general, yes (and not just in dating). It's not true of all women and men... there are plenty of men who overthink things more than a lot of women do, but in general... on average... women definitely tend to do it more than men.

In my opinion both genders overthink anything and everything equally, with that being said its my belief that we women tend to be more verbal about it
Women tend to fabricate problems in their mind. If that equals overthinking yes
@Elizabeth001 only if you were real 😭😭😭
Both genders overthink, I just think women are more vocal about it.
Oh my gosh yes... Women overthink like no one's business.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad that you have recognized that tendency in yourself. I think it's partially a self confidence thing.

Judging from this site, both genders overthink it a lot
Yes they do not say men don't iverthink but for women its like second nature

Yep 100%
I think it depends on the person’s anxiety level, not their gender.
Depends on if either gender is more logical or emotional
Depends on what type of person they are. We all act differently.
Generally yes. But one could argue that men also underthink their dating and social interactions.
Depends on the person
women and men are both human
My fiancee admits by herself, that she overthinks stuff way too much 😂
Men probably overthink dating, but women seem to overthink everything!
On the contrary. I think men overthink dating. Likely due to their experiences with women.

Repeated mistakes like what?

I don't know about u guys but i tend to overthink a lot so I'd say I'm at least close in compression
Definitely cause they love with all their heart ones they are inlove
I believe both sides can over think. I sure do over think everything. It is annoying.
