We have been on three dates and they have all been really good. Like, actually good, not just "fine." We laugh at the same things, conversation never dies, and after the last one he texted me saying he had a great time and wants to do it again soon.

So why am I sitting here convinced it is already falling apart?

Every time he takes more than a few hours to reply I start running scenarios in my head. Maybe he is losing interest. Maybe the last thing I said came off weird. Maybe he is just being polite and does not actually want a fourth date. I have read back through our messages probably four times today trying to find something wrong.

I almost canceled the second date because I got so in my head the night before. I nearly talked myself out of something that ended up being one of the best evenings I have had in a long time.

I know this is the anxiety and not reality. My therapist and I have talked about this pattern but knowing that does not always make it stop in the moment.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Did you find anything that actually helped when the spiral starts, especially in the early stages when you have no real foundation of trust yet to stand on? I do not want to self sabotage something that actually has potential.
