Sophie

I think I was just over that relationship.

So I wasn't as anxiously attached.

But now with this guy...

it was like when he was pulling back, like I was, I all of a sudden was like seeking that validation from him and I was recognizing it and being like trying to check myself on it.

And so if anything, it showed me that like, I still have stuff to work on for myself too.

Um,

But, yeah, I just, like, I guess now, you know, whatever ends up happening with this, like, if I don't ever hear from him again, like, getting back into the dating scene, I feel like I'm good.

I'm good on, like, a first or second date.

Like, I'm confident enough in myself.

Like, I can be myself.

I know if I like someone or not like someone.

But then when it gets to that point where it's, like, okay, I do like you, like, into that, like, two- to four-week time period or whatnot...

How do I keep myself, I guess, from... Because I was really starting to like this guy a lot.

And maybe it's because of how hot and heavy he was.

But how do I regulate my own emotions that I'm not falling too quickly?

Or maybe that won't happen with someone that goes at a normal pace.

Like, was this like, I mean, like it, it messed with me for a bit, but I think it's a couple of weeks, right?

Well, yeah, I mean, I guess that's reassuring.

Yeah.

Cause like I said, I've never dated.
