Put in a control mechanism for yourself? Are you feeling like things are moving to fast? Or do you feel brave enough or willing to ask him how he’s feeling?

It is frightening to like someone sometimes, I hear you

Hmm. My first thought is exactly what you feel in the moment. That's your guide to making a step in whatever direction you choose.

Meeting someone and feeling "like" can bring on anxiety simply because it's a way of sharing space.

@malibumark things are not moving fast. It is moving pretty slow and he is patience with me. I already told me that he still wants to talk to me and get to know me better so I guess that is a good thing. He already knows I overthink and get anxious. My brain is telling me to keep going but I feel like I need to stop because something could happen. But he has not done anything to make me feel uncomfortable.

Have you thought about talking to him about this? Do you know him well enough to share why you’re nervous? Or maybe share a little bit about the why, if you’re not ready to “totally open up”? If he really like you, he’ll understand and be patient… if he starts pushing, then you know he’s not the right one… set your personal boundaries, and stick to them… set personal goals (milestones) and when you reach them, celebrate! Give yourself personal things to look forward to!

Hang in there and maybe he’s just as nervous as you are!!

I guess I look at it a bit differently. As any new relationship begins to further along, just be the person you are. Be yourself and let things progress without the need to start sharing things about your anxiety and nervousness. I think that approach does nothing but add to your anxiety as you will start second guessing all your actions. Focus on a positive energy of enjoying your time and taking things slow. Yes, of course boundaries are a must in any relationship. You'll recognize when a little more can be shared.

Thank you to everyone that has responded to my post I am taking everything y'all said into consideration. I loved that y'all are helping and for that I appreciate. Thank you all of give me tip on how to handle this situation

Oh I see, are you talking about maybe something sexual could happen?

I could see how talking to someone you’re attracted to could create sexual tension anxiousness and even nervousness.

I wish you the best in your twenties, you have your whole life ahead of you.

As a mother myself, I vouch, boundaries are so important for everyone to have and to call out because it will make away and determine your course of life. No matter what goal you’re aiming.

Self-love baby self-love… Love yourself first.

I really was not talking a lot of anything sexual, more like a person touching me in general. I do not like people touching me with them telling me or me seeing them with my own eyes.

I also wanted to update everyone that has given me tips. We did meet and he did not make me uncomfortable. He was a nice and kind to me. He already knew not to touch me from the jump.

And that's why I ask!!
I'm glad you got it figured out!!
