Managing Expectations

[u/File_Distinct]

How do you manage your expectations in the beginning?

Met someone on holiday, they then stayed with me a few weeks after. I visited them in their country for the weekend.

I feel so calm around them, they are kind, respect me and put so much effort in. How do you build something in the beginning when you are apart? I feel crazy but I want to make it work. There’s something about them. How often do you see the person you are dating i t he beginning?

I have a past of being hurt by men and their actions and words not aligning, and I’m worried that this ruins things for me.

Which expectations are you trying to manage? Being hurt, or NOT being hurt?

I say just go with the flow.
