Hello everyone, thank you for reading my post!
I am a happy 26 year old male. I've been going through a lot of life changes the past year and have finally gotten to a point in my life where I am satisfied with my job/living situation/and have a good social network. I really have not been in the 'dating' game for a while, and other than friends haven't been talking to many females. That was up until about a month ago. I have known this girl for quite some time(since high school), but we were only acquaintances. In a moment of 'just do it' I asked her out for some coffee where we hit it off right away. Since then, we have been spending quite a bit of time together and have both told each other that we have a strong connection and that we like each other.
The problem that I have had in my past relationships is I tend to over analyze things. I over think things and let small unimportant things become major problems in my head. I don't think I'm a jealous person, I just stress easily about relationships? I have had quite a few meaningful relationships fail because of small issues causing me a lot of stress. That would cause my lover to become distant and would just snowball things in my head.
Would any of you be able to give me some advice to help me stop this before it becomes a problem? I have no issues with failed relationships, because I know if things don't work out, they don't work out. But I don't want this to be the cause, because I over think some things. I really like this girl and enjoy her company a lot.
Thanks in advance
