Hello RPW, I would love your insight on my situation as it is not a common one.

The breakup was not mutual at first, but eventually it became mutual when I realized it was for the best. We argued almost everyday, and most of the time I was the one who instigated it. I learned that I became an emotional wreck and instead of handling my issues I took it out on him.

Fast forward to now, we decided to date again. We love each other very much and our time apart made us realize our issues (me especially). The dating is going amazing. We have been going on amazing dates, he has been nothing but loving, reassuring and supportive. We don’t see each other everyday like we used to but it’s only because we are taking it slow. It’s not like before but in the best way possible.

However, it has been almost a month and I must admit I am a little hurt that he has not made me his girlfriend. We discussed this but it did leave me even more confused, as he said he wants to wait until he is sure. I also feel like his secret. His family does not know about us trying again, which is strange because I had an amazing relationship with his family. He refuses to add me on social media (I have not brought that up at all, it’s not something that extremely bothers me). And although he reassured me, I cannot help but feel like maybe he wants the comfort again, but not me. I feel myself get anxious to see him and to get a text, which is what I am afraid of because I don’t want to drive him away with my neediness.

My question is how do you ladies handle the overthinking? I’m usually good at it, but because it feels like a new relationship I feel like I’m not used to slow.
