I’ve been dating a guy for 2 months. From the start I only saw him as a friend & didn’t think he was my type. I didn’t feel that big spark or sense of having known him before. Some couples experience that right away as their “one” where the connection is effortless.
We slept together recently and I am quite fond of him but not over the top wanting to rip off his clothes. I do find him somewhat physically attractive.
I’m wondering if I should continue to see if that spark happens for me. He says he loves me. I do take a long time to warm up to people and don’t fall in love easily due to being abandoned as a child by both parents.
Does it mean if you don’t feel that immediate and natural connection to a man, that he’s not your guy? Should I move on or due to my trust issues, keep getting closer on a slower basis over a longer period of time?
Ewa2 months and he says he loves you? ok then….
MaddieIt’s not intuitive, but the giant spark and feeling like you’ve known someone forever is actually a sign of the *opposite* of that person being “the one.” When there’s trauma in your past, those feelings of attraction are due to a dynamic that’s somehow familiar, meaning you’ve found someone who is activating your old wounds and anxiety. Those wounds are how you “received” love as a child so that’s why it feels like quick sparks must mean you’re overwhelmed because this is your person, rather than the red flags they really are!
Getting to know someone takes time. Wanting to rip off their clothes once you do know them really well takes deep vulnerability and grounded trust in yourself. The passion comes out of connection and built trust, instead of from relief that you’ve quieted your longing and anxiety through intimacy. Twin flame passion seems to happen effortlessly at first but also comes with dramatic high highs and low lows and is rarely sustainable. There shouldn’t be zero physical attraction with someone, that won’t work either! But there is a sweet spot for a good and healthy relationship if someone is the full package and compatible with you overall.
I don’t know if this guy is the right guy for you, because you’ve said very little about him. Only that you aren’t longing for him. And two months is a very short time to get to know someone (which is why it’s tough to fall in love so fast since you don’t really know the person yet). You shouldn’t settle for someone you’re ambivalent about, yet it gets tricky if you tend to feel ambivalent about *any* guy who might be emotionally available and open to you. If you can connect better with yourself, which may mean working with a professional to heal your past, that will cause that ambivalence and those trust issues to melt away. You’ll have a better idea of what you want without the doubt. In the meantime, you need to decide if you want to keep getting to know this guy and building trust, or not. Either decision is okay.
Nothing I’m saying is the easy way to deal with all this, but if you are looking for a strong relationship and have had a rocky time with dating up to now, it’s the way to get there. Whether that relationship is with this guy or someone else, the best thing you can do for your dating life is getting good with yourself first. Then the rest falls into place when you’re ready.
Liz LemonI agree with what’s already been said, but I also think that after 2 months of dating, you should feel *something*. Maddie is totally right that falling head over heels at first sight isn’t healthy or based in reality. But at the same time, I think dating a person for 2 months should result in some depth of feelings, if the relationship is to go somewhere.
This is the honeymoon period of dating. It’s building the foundation for a solid relationship (not saying you’ll be in a long term relationship with this guy, I’m just speaking in general). Normally the honeymoon period cements your affection & attraction so you can weather the challenges that will arise later in the relationship. If you date anyone gor a long period of time, you’ll eventually have conflict. The honeymoon period creates a base that keeps your relationship solid during challenging times. It really does. I still sometimes think back to how I felt about my bf first 6-8 months we were dating, lol. It was a magical time & it’s a sweet feeling to remember. It reminds me why I fell in love with him & keeps me grounded when we have moments of conflict.
So maybe this isn’t your guy? But whether that’s because he’s not a good match, or because you have work to do on yourself (as Maddie mentioned), I don’t know. No guy will be “your guy” if you’re not right with yourself, Maddie is 100% correct about that.
