An upcoming social event has you torn. On the one hand, you’re looking forward to it. On the other, you’re worried about how you’ll handle seeing a certain person again. Keep in mind that they’re probably going through the same conflicting emotions, so this is something you have in common—it’s a shared foundation. Put yourself in their shoes and you’ll know how to treat them. Things are going to be fine, so just relax and try to enjoy yourself!
Are you so in love with the insane social whirl of dating that you’re neglecting the rest of your life? Whether you’re paying the bills or keeping up with friends, you can’t let details fall by the wayside.
Rein in those relationship expectations, at least for the moment. If you can relax and enjoy your certain someone—and yourself—in a low-key way, you’ll get further than by pushing a certain agenda.
You’re not the only one having a hard time balancing. Whether it’s overtime to make up for the red line or simply the price of the basics, it’s healthy to commiserate. Don’t hesitate to communicate.
