Maybe you can say you promised a friend you would help them with something important and it will only take an hour or two.

Maybe I should again. My last therapist who I just saw last month told me she thinks I am done with therapy and don’t need it anymore. That kind of surprised me but i accepted it, maybe I need to find a different one.

I don’t often worry about anything, but I do when it comes to relationships, I just never seem to know what is the cause of my feelings. I have been trying to trust my gut as you have said and that’s why I continued to date him, because I do like him and I have felt like I wanted to go on dates and kiss, etc. What I found interesting and why I made this post is that my gut stopped me from going any further than making out with him. But could be due to all the aforementioned anxiety about the situation itself. Thank you for your comments!

I have actually, and they do seem specific to him. At least some of them, some of them not.

Thanks, I think I do want to keep exploring so maybe I will and just try my best to get over my fears and then hopefully I will learn the answers to my questions that way.

I’m not sure if it’s the person or anyone. I tried comparing with my past experiences and I was fine before I didn’t have anxiety with my past partners, but it’s been a long time. And none of the previous situations were like this.

It’s been maybe 6 years since I’ve been in this position romantically, and to be fair even in that relationship we didn’t do much sexually.
