I’m terrified that I’m so.. infatuated (and worse that I’m wondering if he’s with me for right-now, or for more) two and a bit weeks in. 🙈 I wish I didn’t feel a little sad that I don’t see a text from him in the mornings, or before bed.

Context: Newly 40, f, haven’t dated much if at all in the last 5 years. Met a 47m at the start of the month off a dating app. We’ve had 5 dates including 2 sleepovers.

Why am I wondering this hard if he’s interested in a relationship with me? 😑😓

5 dates and two sleepovers in a little over 2 weeks? This screams too hard too fast, do you wonder if you’re being lovebombed? For the most part once a week in the beginning is most common

So.. I had to Google what “lovebombed” means.

Definitely didn’t occur to me that once during the week and once at the end of the week/weekend was too much. Seems reasonable that two people that enjoy each other would want to see each other with reasonable frequency no?

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
