Is it ok not to be together 24/7 early dating phase?

Idk how to get used to being in a relationship. It’s kind of my first time trying to be in a serious relationship and I want to see if it can last for a few months or so.

My problem is that I get so much anxiety. I overthink a lot and I don’t know how to feel.

I’d consider myself to be more of a thinker than a feeler. I never express my emotions easily because I’m kind of introvert. I say kind of but I’m very much an introvert but lately I’ve wanted to push myself to be a little more social and adventurous.

Anyway, right now. I’m feeling guilty wanting to be by myself right now. I don’t want to change my schedule so that my new boyfriend can see me more often than usual.

Idk if this is a bad sign that I’m not ready. I just want to know if anyone could relate and if this feeling is normal.

A part of me wants it to work out but I also want my solitude. I find it really helps see how I really feel about him when he’s not around. Like do I feel the need to hold his hand again or run back, which I kind of have.

Again I just wanna know if anyone can relate or how you figured out what works best for your relationship as an introvert?
