I've been single but dating for a while and it feels like whenever I let my friends know I'm dating someone new, the connections fizzle out. I've even let my friends know about upcoming dates I have for the weekend and they end up getting canceled. Does anyone else experience this?
I dont know if this is a coincidence, if I'm paranoid, or if it's something like the evil eye. I love my friends but I'm at the point where I feel like I have to keep my love life a secret or risk ending up alone forever.
For context: I've had 2 long-term boyfriends and I waited until we were serious (~5 months in) before introducing them to my friend groups and they lasted a while.
Anyone experienced anything similar or have any advice?
