@adelemarchant: Here’s how to be less anxious and have more peace in the early stages of dating somebody as an anxiously attached girl. #anxiousattachmentstyle #anxiousattachment #datingadviceforwomen #situationships #situationshiphealing
I think it goes deeper than that .. You might not be entitled but you DEFINITELY don’t have to settle and put up with it as a result . Someone who is serious about finding a connection and getting to know you is going to put in the work to communicate . I don’t want people to hear your message and decide that it’s okay to be out on the back burner

the second i detached from the outcome and just let men show up exactly as they are and stopped rushing getting to know them, dating became fun rather than stressful

People put too much value on texting, especially when it’s with a new person they’ve just met either through a dating app or in person. The point of texting is to set up and make plans with someone it’s not meant to be used as a replacement for in person connection and closeness you both are individuals with lives and need to give space to each other whilst also making time to go on dates if you’re interested. All this if they haven’t replied in 24 hours, I’m blocking them is air

I agree and disagree but then I don’t. I don’t feel entitled to someone communicating but how are you building a connection? lol

Sometimes people will apologize for being busy one day, I always tell them please don’t apologize, you owe me nothing.

Okay, so I agree with the ending of what you said. I don’t think we really care about how someone starts off communication. It gives us the option early to whether their style of communication works for us or not. It’s the switch up that’s dis regulating to the nervous system. Even for a person with secure attachment

I've met a guy who isn't always communicative but we text a few times throughout the day. sometimes we don't talk all weekend but I'm actually liking it because he's not love bombing or over texting me getting me all into something that doesn't even exist yet. I've felt at peace with it and it's not making me anxious because it's just how we've been communicating. Its worse when you talk all day long then they pull back to no communication. and even though we don't talk a lot, he always messages me every morning. we now have plans for Sunday and I'm super excited. we've been talking for a month and had a couple short meet ups due to schedule conflicts, but Sunday we have left it open so we have no time limit.

Yeah I don’t have time for that lol. You don’t communicate well? Okay bye. Just like I’m not entitled to proper communication from you, you’re not entitled to my communication, space and energy!😂😂

I talk to lots of men and I'm completely detached from them. I don't owe them my attention and they don't owe me theirs.

This is secure attachment for sure. It’s fine to want something and maybe even voice it but nobody owes you anything

What if he was putting in effort and being consistent before our date, but now afterward he’s taking forever to respond? His messages still kinda seem like he’s interested though, so I’m confused 😭 ugh

I get that I’m not entitled to it and he owns me nothing. But at the same time, if he doesn’t communicate how bad would it be in a relationship?
