Are they still interested in dating you?

May 22, 2017 · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos

Are they over it? Everything seemed to be going your way. You were having fun, and the sex was good.

Then all of a sudden, your date cancels without rescheduling, starts taking longer to respond, and seems busier than usual.

It can be hard to read a new crush. Are they busy or slowly ghosting you?

How do you find out if your new crush is over it or still interested without looking needy and desperate?

Meeting a new crush is magical; dating them is divine

I love new crushes. Few feelings compare to having a new crush in your life. 

I often meet new folks, but I rarely meet someone that I feel a strong connection with right off the bat. It’s unfortunate because that new crush feeling is unlike anything else. 

When it does happen, though, I get excited; it’s hard for me not to. I love exploring a connection with a new woman (I’m a man who dates women), and I love the potential that comes with meeting someone new.

I try to keep my expectations low, though. I tend to get overly excited and start planning our future together. I’m much better at staying grounded in the present, but I wasn’t always great at it. 

I’m a hopeless romantic; it’s true. I can’t hide it, nor do I want to. 

Sometimes that new crush becomes more than a crush

That’s how it works.

You meet someone fantastic, you crush on them, and if they feel the same way, you start dating. Badass. 

And then you keep dating. Time does its thing, and you either grow closer together, or you drift apart. I hope you grow closer together because I love to love, and I want everyone to have as much as possible.

But the reality is that you probably drift apart. It sucks, but it happens all the time.

Finding a soul mate or a partner is the exception in dating, not the norm.

It would help if you looked at being ‘over it’ as an unfortunate but necessary by-product of dating.

Shit happens. And then you keep going.
