I’ve been talking to this guy for about a month and we recently went on our first date. The date was honestly amazing, we spent hours together, had coffee, extended to having dinner, loads of banter but also deeper conversations about life and values etc. I feel like the more I talk to him, the more I understand him as a person and I’m genuinely getting attached.
Before meeting him, I had already deleted my dating apps about two weeks earlier because I was burnt out from dating apps and genuinely too busy with life/work to keep entertaining multiple conversations.
Now I’m torn about whether I should reinstall them and talk to other people again because I’m scared that if this connection doesn’t work out, I’ll be more hurt because I emotionally focused on one person. Part of me thinks maybe talking to other people would help me stay detached and protect myself emotionally.
Is this self sabotage?
