Have you ever felt this “ too good to be true” feeling while getting to know someone or dating them?

[Pearl222]

[Zack-Bann]

Every time there was something worth having
The too good to be true thing comes back


It’s a natural response to feeling something unusual I think

[Pearl222]

I think you’re right about it being unusual, in a good way. Never felt this way before, but don’t want to rush it…so taking it slow.

[Zack-Bann]

I think if you’ve dated and failed before you know that rushing will burst the bubble and then comes the emptiness and sense of failure.

So when you feel like you found something worth keeping you become a lot more careful with every step you take

Unfortunately, many times when we’re not being too careful our authentic selves do the work for us and we build a connection
But by playing it too safe we come off as boring and indecisive

I remember my first real girlfriend telling me that she was wondering if I was ever gonna make a move.
When I had been with a few women before her without any issues.

The “too good to be true” you speak of is just the manifestation of this worry that we might mess up a good thing

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I did but it turns out that my fears were unfounded :)

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I met my current partner on a dating site. Based on her profile pics I thought she okay but when we met in person I was dumbstruck by how beautiful she was. Then I noticed she was wearing a lot of makeup so I thought maybe she was hiding something underneath. Then I see her without makeup and low and behold, she looked even better!

[ohsheeT]

Of course and this is why

We sit around and we get into a routine of being bored
Somebody walks into our lives. They open that door of something new and we start to become alive again. We start to feel again

But here's the deal. They just opened up the doors for us to fill again where you are the only ones that have those emotions inside of us. So we are the ones that are bringing these fillings to us , they just opened the door for us to get outside to do something fun , something new

And we think it's them that is given us this feeling. It's not it's us because we are the only ones that can feel this

Are you coming to our lives? We start doing something with them or out. And about having fun , we're not home board

And this is where people make the mistake of thinking that it is them. It's too good to be true. But in reality , it's experiencing the things inside of us that we already feel that we already are , we are that person

But there's moments and times where we just stop living and just stop everything

Until the opportunity arises to go out and start living again
All those emotions.
Are too good to be true. Emotions are already inside of us. That's who we truly are

But we don't allow ourselves to bring them out of ourselves , either because of depression , because of some kind of hold back that we put on ourselves

So experience something too good to be true right now. This person

Or walk away from this person and start living life again. Start doing everything that makes you happy. And you will have the same feelings. You will bring them out of yourself when you do something new, something different, something bold, you experience losing new things in life. This is what happens. It comes from within

[HawkPerception]

Yeah. Twice. In college, I met a girl I met at a bus stop and it was magical spending time with her. She had a radiant, heart warming smile and we shared all the same interests. I came on too strong, to the point where I wanted to see her too much and didn't really give her space, and she was weirded out by that after about 2 weeks of seeing her each day.

The other time was after my second relationship. I won't go into detail, but that girl was basically a devil in disguise. And I don't even believe in devils.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes. And eventually I proposed and she said "yes." We got married Aril 27, 2024.

[AvaRay]

I hv felt the too good to be true before, the kind that sweeps u off your feet so fast u don’t notice the ground disappearing beneath u..

But I’ve learnen when something feels like a dream, it usually comes with a wake up call..

Real love doesn’t dazzle, it deepens.. It doesn’t rush, It roots..

I no longer chase intensity that burns fast..

I choose the kind of connection that holds steady in silence, honest in chaos, n loyal in calm..

Because fantasy can impress me,
but only truth can keep me..

[Keyboardkat]

Yes, because that "head over heels madly in love" feeling is a kind of euphoria! Research has shown that it stimulates the same brain pleasure centers as cocaine! And oxycontin, the "emotionally binding" hormone, is involved, too! It's wise to get ahold of yourself because otherwise, you can make a darn fool of yourself. Believe me, I know and remember, because I did! As perfect as the other person seems, remember that there IS NO perfect human being on this planet! If the other person does turn out to be wonderful, then great, go for it! But don't lose your head!

[slatyb]

I have not, but maybe I just didn't meet the right people. But be careful that you aren't being "love bombed". This is a behavior of narcissistic people, mostly men, where they shower a woman with affection at the beginning of a relationship, only to become abusive after she is more committed.

[Apulu_backagain]

Yeah, this guy in my coaching centre. Looked like anime and had funny and charming personality and read feminist books plus did calisthenics! What more can a nerdy 15 year old ask for?

But he dated one of my friends and I was slightly sad but still happy for them but he turned out to be super toxic and all of that was a show so the situation kind of saved me.

[Massageman]

I had it many years ago when my brother-in-law started dating this one particular female. But, nobody believed my gut. Turns out she was a sequential schemer, would marry a guy, take his kids and money, and move to the next guy. He was number 2 and this female had done this to 4 guys that we know about (heck, there could be more!!).

My brother-in-law DID find a nice, honest lady and remarried, and is living very nicely now.

[dwreborn]

Yes, been talking to a girl on WhatsApp and l think that all the time, even to the point l thought she was fake or someone messing with me. But been broken before , so aim high and try.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, many times. Men are good at putting on a show for a woman at first. Then once their material dries up, the real man emerges, and it can be disturbing.

[MrChinaski]

Women, too.

[aaron13547]

Lol yes, more often then I would like to admit. I call that infatuation. It can be dangerous!

[sage2021]

Peppers! Lots of times and it was too good to be true unfortunately.

[sage2021]

Yeppers not peppers

[mysteriousNicholas]

@pearl222 and from an old timer me' ⌛⏳ it often is.

It almost always, is. 😶

[jamesgoldman]

Of course, in both my relationships, the first time I found gold thrifting and when I found a gold cufflink in the gutter

[exitseven]

Yes, when I met my wife. I kept waiting for the problem.

[Anonymous]

Kind of. I somewhat dismissed a girl, because she was too convenient for me to pursue. I regret her almost everyday.

[Unap0logetic_]

Yes and it still remains true to this day. The devil is very good at wrapping packages.

[WonderingManII]

If any woman wanted to date me, I would feel that way. I got a good reason for it too.

[AngryCarl2]

No, I expect my friends to be perfect. When they're not it comes as a shock.

[Anonymous]

No, I never had a date, so I really never had such a feeling.

[bunnyboo24]

Yes be careful

[bunniesrcute]

yeah no, no man is worth that feeling

[Paige90]

Yes I have

[WhitneySnow]

Yes.

[Clyde_123]

Yes.

[Pterodon]

Yes I have.

[Allmenrsick]
