What are your tips for a person entering a new relationship?

I just got into a new relationship and I’d say it’s been a while since I was in one. About 4 years. I’m having a hard time with trusting that he wants to be in this relationship even though he asked me. I want to know how to go about talking to him about my boundaries without expecting too much from a new relationship

do what you said in the last sentence. you could talk about your boundaries or exercise them as they come up

I think I’ll exercise them as it comes up. I don’t want to ruin anything with overthinking

[bededazzle]

i understand. i do want to say though that your boundaries are sometimes quite important e early on for determining if the match is suitable. but yes please avoid overthinking

[Asker]

Yes agreed! I

People who talk about their boundaries when you first start dating are a turn-off. Don't overthink anything, take it slow.

It’s very hard not to overthink lol but you are so right because I would think the same thing!
