In January I (35F) ended a 8-year long relationship (not married, no kids). The split was relatively amicable with both of us understanding it was time. I moved across the country for work and had zero interest in dating or finding a FWB. I honestly felt like if I found someone I wanted to get to know better I would stay dating again but never went on apps or anything. About 2 months ago I reconnected with someone I grew up with but hadn’t seen in about 20 years at a family dinner and the connection was insane. We hung out casually a few times but it became clear quickly we wouldn’t be just friends- we have been seeing each other a lot the last month or so. It feels like he adds to a good life I’ve built for myself instead of filling gaps of things my life is missing. I can tell we’re both crazy about each other but honestly it scares me how attracted to him I am- not even just physically but his mind, personality, sense of humor too. My last relationship was the longest I’ve ever been with someone and I don’t know if I’m diving in too quickly or if I should let myself be as happy as I am with this new person.
Has anyone ever gone through something like this? I don’t know if I’m overthinking this.
