Date Alert🚨
A little backstory … I grew up in Brooklyn, after 9/11 my family and I moved to Long Island. Then when Covid hit & we moved to Florida.
It was my second year in Florida (I’m a nurse who works in treatment). I was at work one day, and this very handsome tattooed man walks in. Come to find out he is the new trauma therapist (amazing BTW) we get to chatting & realize we grew up on the same block in Brooklyn but did not meet until we both made it to Florida. Coincidentally working at the same treatment center.
Fast forward to today, we both no longer work at that treatment center, and he called asking to take me out on a date.
It’s been over 7 months of no contact from the person I’m on here crying about. And I just can’t bring myself to commit, and say yes.
What is wrong with me???
Should I just suck it up & go ??
Like ripping off a band-aid off?
My heart is 100% not in it. I don’t know if that’s because I’ve put such a guard around my heart. It’s not that I am sitting around waiting to reconnect, I am just completely uninterested in connecting on that level right now.
