How to build a strong foundation in early dating stage
I’ve been seeing a guy who is a really good match me for almost a month now and everything has been going really well. By this, I mean that we’ve both been very communicative, respectful, and are both what each other is looking for in a person so far. My issue now is that I’ve never been in a healthy relationship so I don’t know where to go from here. For more context on this, I’ve done “the work” in therapy and I’m more emotionally mature than I’ve been in the past. I feel ready to start a mature and healthy relationship without sabotaging it.
How do we build a strong foundation for us to make this last? Is it by focusing on building a friendship first? We met on a dating app and started getting intimate 3 weeks after first meeting each other.
