The reason people have doubts and worries about starting a relationship can usually be traced back to one thing – fear.

I expected this from a guy, I was prepared to be let down and disappointed by someone who only casually knew me over dinner or after a few fun dates ending in sex. But I wasn’t prepared or expecting it from someone I trusted most.

But we always tend to romanticize what could have been instead of what was.

I find myself hung up on being the one who cares less, the one who could go a whole day without hearing from you. But I’m not that girl and I do care.

People will have preconceived notions about you and your relationship.

This is why I’m not sure what it’s supposed to look like or feel like because everywhere I turn I am told it is not what I think it is.

While we’re predisposed to pay attention to red flags, we often ignore our own emotional warning signs that indicate it’s time to move on.
