I’ve been dating this guy for the last month or so and I really like him. Chemistry is great, we want a lot of the same things in life, and we enjoy spending time with one another. Overall, things are great, but I’m scared. I’m scared that he’ll ghost me one day. I’m scared that we’ll never be official, that I could be a “placeholder”. I’m scared that he’ll randomly decide I’m not right for him one day. I’m scared of getting hurt again. I’m scared of all the things that happen to so many people every day in dating. I don’t want to live in fear or be overwhelming pessimistic with someone I genuinely see a future with. He hasn’t done anything to make me feel this way, but the more I fall for him, the more intense this fear becomes. Whenever I get scared, I get in my head and self-sabotage or withdrawal but that can’t happen this time. How can I remain positive but not naïve? How can I let go of this fear?
