Whenever I am in the first stages of dating I start to stress...I like a woman and I stress, i cant pin point exactly what im stressing over but i think i stress over the outcome of the relationship. I like her and I want it to last so I stress over it..I know i shouldnt but I cant help it...lol...Do you have any advice? or can you relate to it in a way?

when most really like a girl they have the loving glare in there eye...everything is peaceful, there are in love and all that...with me i like her, but i feel stressed...

advice/thoughts/anyone else like this?

thanks a lot

I think this is very common for most of us, the idea of not knowing of where the relationship is heading and not knowing if it's really the girl for you is always in the back of your mind in one way or the other. Most likely your stress is coming from you not really ever knowing how she feels about you -you know how you feel but does she see it the same way? A whole lot of pre-arranged thoughts on your expectations seceretly injected into lots of one on one conversation can and will go along way to keep you safe in the safe zone in case she does'nt feel it's going to work and your right at the emotional edge.

I know this is probably easier said than done, but just try to relax, be yourself, and take it one day at a time.

Find a "mantra" you can say to yourself when you start feeling anxious. Sometimes I use "what is meant to be, will be". I find this very helpful and soothing.

Anymore, I am just me. I quit trying to be on my best behavor along time ago. I don't stress over dating, because it simply isn't worth it. All it will do is make you uncomfortible, and give the other person bad vibes about you, making them uncomfortible because it's easy to see you are not being you.

That's natural.

It's kinda like when you are at the door to say goodnight. That dreaded 1st kiss. You just don't know how it's going to go.

Relax. It'll get better.

Actually the stress you are feeling is insecurity. Don't try so hard and be yourself. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it wasn't meant to be.
