texting during the beginning of a relationship
I guess all my adulthood I’ve thought that in order to remain in having a connection with someone that you like, you need to constantly text them. This has proven to me to be very exhausting and I feel bad and guilty when I don’t respond because to me it might seem like I’m not interested but in all honesty I’m just tired of responding all the time. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like this person because I do. I guess I just have a deeper rooted fear of abandonment and I don’t want to be perceived as I’ve lost interest.
I don’t really feel the need to communicate this with them because we’ve only been talking for a couple weeks and went on one date so far. Not that they don’t deserve it, I just feel like it’s not necessary at this stage.
So I guess my question is: Is it necessary for me to constantly text someone this much? Is going a day in between texts too long? Lord, I fear I’m overthinking literally everything.
