[…] Now throughout this entire weekend, my anxiety was pretty high. If you’ve been keeping up with my Fridaze posts throughout this month, you would know that my anxiety has been slowly building up. This past week it’s the highest it’s been since last Spring. I’ve been struggling with the changing of weather. I haven’t been sleeping very well. Then, I dealt with the general anxiety that occurs on a day-to-day basis. Finally, I had some major dating anxiety. […]

In reply to Michelle Gast. How did you get over the anxiety? What let you get past these overwhelming thoughts enough to let someone in?

I defiantly remember these days. I have anxiety in general. Now I've been married for 17 years.

In reply to Laura Jane. I live close to NYC, and definitely relate to this. I tend to match with people from the city since I'm so close in mileage. I actually deleted the app recently, mainly because I want it to work out with the guy I'm talking to, and unless it doesn't work out between us, I don't think i'll go back. We actually chatted a little bit about his intentions and where his mind is at last week (after I wrote this post), and it made me feel a bit more at ease. I still get anxiety over the whole situation, but mainly because it's more difficult to trust people because of past experiences. Thanks so much for reading and the input xxx

I read a book some years ago that mentioned a statistic on dating and people finding love. It basically showed that the more variety people have, the less likely they will be to commit, so in cities like London, it can be much harder than say a small town a few hours away.

While I think dating apps are great, my issue is that a lot of people now associate with them as outlets for other things besides finding a partner. They've become spaces for boredom, curiosity, self-confidence boosts.

Two months is a long time to be talking to one guy - he is investing his time in talking to you which hints at his strong interest. Do you feel you could ask him about his interest or let it be known that you want more confirmation around exclusivity? I know it can feel like an awkward chat. xxx
