I don’t think “accepting” is the right word, because I am absolutely loving how I’m being treated by this man (don’t want to call him HVM just yet but so far he’s amazing), but I do feel a sense of anxiety & fear I suppose.

I’m still quite young (early 20s) and I’ve been in a few silly relationships in HS & early college, but this one seems way more adult and serious.

He carefully plans our dates around my interests and always pays for them. He compliments my beauty but also my intellect, humor, and quirks. He calls me and texts me on a regular basis because he wants to know about my day and how I’m feeling. He makes playlists for me. He literally got a new phone to text me better & play imessage games with me. I can go on and on but basically his high value ness can be seen 24/7, even in small gestures or scenarios too.

I’ve never really experienced “serious adult” dating and its honestly scary. I fear that maybe he’s just love bombing me right now and that this will all go away eventually. Or I’m afraid that we’ll end up dating for a few years and eventually break up, basically wasting my early 20s. I also feel like the way he treats me just seems so foreign compared to my exes. I know I deserve this level of good treatment, but why does it scare me so much? I haven’t been able to provide the same level of energy and commitment he has because of this weird feeling. Any way to get over it? Advice or similar stories is greatly appreciated 🥺
