Being a hopeless romantic might just be my downfall

Dating / Sex / Relationships (FRIDAY ONLY)

Hey all, F26. I don’t know if this is just only me but as an individual when I’m talking to somebody and I actually like them, I struggle with diverting my attention to different things, and I tend to have this ideal version of that person in my head which I slowly fall in love with. I downloaded dating apps recently, and I have been talking to a couple different guys, one of them stood out to me so met in person last week. Since then things are going great, throughout days of texting and calling and video calling I just realized that I might be actually falling for this person. Im scared of myself for wanting more of him and I feel like I’m being delusional. I am actually terrified because I don’t know if that feeling is mutual. I don’t know how many other girls he’s also talking to, but I cannot divert my attention to different guys or try to stop myself thinking this might be THE person. I always see myself as extremely logical until it comes to relationships. I feel like I’m being such an emotional, loving, hopeless romantic and this attitude is going to be my downfall if things don’t work out between us. I know if that happens it’s going to break my heart, sounds ridiculous because we haven’t even agreed on a relationship yet. I try to find things to do on my own, but I cannot stop thinking about him.
