Why do i feel stuck with this new crush?

Author

So i’ve completely moved on from my ex. he doesn’t cross my mind anymore. but there’s this new guy and i’ve been showing hints that i like him. the thing is i can’t tell whether he’s interested or not. he’d invite me to church, the library, come over and talk to me whenever he gets the chance. at times things would go well but then awkward. i’d be the one trying to flirt with him and stuff then he’d be the one to do it next. but if i don’t do it at all, he doesn’t either. do you think he doesn’t see me that way after all? is he not the one for me? cuz i always have this pit in my stomach every time i feel like something went wrong. at this point i don’t even want to try anymore cuz it hurts just to think i’m the one feeling this way. i want to move on from him. i don’t want to go through the same pain i did with my ex.

after my breakup i got attached to someone new so fast because the attention felt safe at first, then every mixed signal started making my stomach drop. i kept wondering if i was reacting to HIM or just terrified of being hurt again.

if i’m the only one constantly trying to keep the energy going, i pull back now. i used to overanalyze every little interaction and it made me miserable. the right person never had me sitting there sick with anxiety after every conversation.

do you think the pit in your stomach is actually about him, or is it your brain trying to protect you after what happened with your ex?

he wouldnt be inviting you places and coming to see you if he didn't like you, maybe he is just shy or socially awkward? give it time, dont rush into anything, and just enjoy the process of getting to know each other. if it fizzles out then it wasn't meant to be

I understand you. You're scared. maybe you could not come on too strong. Back off and give him some space. Maybe he doesn't know how to react to you. if he's really interested he'll get in touch with you. Make sure your just not on the rebound. Don't talk about your ex. Good luck
