So you feel like you are dating this perfect guy/girl, but what's the catch?
Maybe there is one, and maybe there is not. However, do not resort to being suspicious of his/her character, assuming the worst based on your past experiences, or testing that person to find out whether or not he/she has alternate motives. Instead, continue to spend time with that person and enjoy yourself. Only control what you can in the situation which is yourself. Time will tell the rest.
If he/she genuinely likes you, it is because of who you are. So continue to be just that.
Never give up who you truly are. Some compromises can be good, especially if they balance out you and the person you are dating. In addition, make sure you still love and except yourself even with those compromises. However; if you feel like that person is trying to change who you are and the character traits that make you yourself, then he/she is not worth it. You are a King/Queen and you deserve to be treated like one. A person who truly likes you will like your flaws and all! They will except you for who you are and will see you as their equal.
The best way to figure out if someone truly likes you is to continue to enjoy and show who you truly are. If you are hiding parts of yourself due to the fear that the person you are involved with may not like that part of you, then you are dragging out the dating process. This will only cause more hurt in the end if that person decides they do not like or except that part of you.
Over time, you will get to see other parts of the person you are dating and they will see other parts of to you. The key is time; it will help reveal different character and personality traits on both sides. Therefore, the best thing you can do for yourself and your relationship is to keep doing you. Find time to enjoy yourself and your friends. Balance your schedule so that you can make time for your partner; however, do not give up the other things that make you happy and allow you to express your true self.
Feeling Anxious? Smile it away.
Do not make yourself miserable by trying to figure out where your partner is or whether or not you can trust them. Instead, worry about controlling you. Have fun and be the best version of yourself. In time, the person you are dating will either begin to like you more or you both may realize that you are just not the right match for each other. However, remember to be happy on your own first and do other activities that allow you to enjoy yourself instead of being anxious about the person or situation you cannot control.
Also, communication and comprehension are major factors in a relationship. If you have concerns or confused feelings, communicate them. That way, your partner can clear things up for you or allow you to view the situation from their perspective. Tell your partner all of the good feelings and emotions too. Find a friendship with each other and make sure you can vibe with the person you are dating. The anxieties and fears should cease once you become comfortable with your partner and the part of yourself that you experience when you are with them.
The safest way to date without getting hurt as much is to know yourself first and stay true to your heart.
Always observe what you can from your partner then go back to your center and ask yourself how you felt about it. Listen to your body and your emotions and overtime, figure out if the person you are dating is the best match for you. Does he/she make you happy? Does he/she add on to the best version of yourself, or does he/she suppress it? Whatever the questions and answers are, always stay true to yourself and follow your heart. Give the relationship time if you are interested in the person you are dating and let time reveal your partner’s character and motives as well as your own.
