Hi FDS,

I watched some videos and read the handbook for techniques on not developing feelings too soon or crushes. I like the: not labeling him in your phone, being honest with him when he upsets you so you can walk away tips. I wanted to know what has personally helped you or any stories on your end ?

I feel as though I try not to catch feelings, and I’ve practiced it successfully recently, but after I have feelings of anger and resentment they wasted my time. Last person I went on dates with, I followed most of the rules (let him take the initiative, communicated from the start I like to be treated with respect and care, didn’t pay for dates Ext.) and when things ended only a month after they began because he was spooked and “he couldn’t give me what I needed” - I felt angry that he had wasted my time.
