How do I act a week into dating?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been dating a guy for less than a week and I’m usually used to being in long term things and just saying how I feel so this is new to me. I literally met him a few days ago and I am quite needy. Do I expect a lot? Do I expect to be his priority if it’s literally been a few days it’s nee so like what do I expect? Do I just kinda treat him as a close friend right now and go with the flow.

Yeah, you have to relax and let this relationship grow organically. He is going to need his own space and time to be himself as will you. I think being open and honest when you're talking to him is still fine, but you should be tactful about what you're saying and how important it is.

I don't think most relationships really progress into a partner being the priority over friends until at least a year and even then they should still be active with their social circle or they'll feel resentful about being pushed away from their groups.

You gotta give it time, and work on yourself so you can be self sufficient and happy when you're alone but still be able to enjoy your partners company without relying on them exclusively for emotional support

If your needy and constantly want attention he is not gonna stick around. Men need to have their freedom and let them do what they want.

Yeahh I’m my old relationship I would get very anxious if I didn’t hear from them in a certain amount of time but I’m not really sure how to change and not be so needy

I'm not really like that myself but I also get anxious thinking that he doesn't talk to me for a whole day that he ghosted me or something. My luck with men is bad luck mostly.
