I’m gonna destroy this relationship too

Ok. I won’t mention the episode. Just step back a bit from discussions of sex :flushed: can’t believe I discussed that.

I’d say enjoy the time you spend together and do things you find fun. Maybe you’re nervous cause it’s still new but the best thing is to just be relaxed :sunglasses:

In the end I told him i May have been somewhat manic saying those things. He said he wouldn’t want to take a advantage and we’ll not talk about those things until we completely ready :flushed:

Ish go slowley…u will get there…

Relationships are a lot about fumbling and nervousness and saying and doing stupid shite even as you get older and you get through a few of them.

First ones are always messy but some survive through that. If it doesn’t work out you learn some things about yourself and your partner and you move from there. I think the difference you get in people who’ve been through it is their expectation. I don’t think that other stuff gets any easier for most folk. You never know what other people think and you can only make judgements on your side of the story.

I know it’s a big deal but you’ll get through it and learn. Wait till your ready and dive in. You learn that way!

Don’t commit to anything too much, too soon. See how things develop between you and him over time as expectations and plans can quickly shatter. He has to be able to accept your illness as a part of you whilst supporting you every day. You need and deserve someone very special. If he is a gem, don’t let him go yet.

Honestly, feelings come and go. Some days I’m crazy attracted to Mr. Star, and other days, I don’t want him to touch me. This is totally normal. Even my NT friends go through these phases. The important things in a relationship are whether or not you can communicate effectively, and whether or not you can act as a team. As long as you have that solid foundation, don’t worry about fickle feelings. It sounds like you guys really listen to each other respectfully. That is what matters.

I have this problem too. I broke up with my last boyfriend because I wasn’t that into him. And now I am dating guys and haven’t met one I really like. I do like one man but he is unavailable (married). I think he does fancy me though. But I am worried now I will wind up alone in my old age as the other posters have said. Is it right to choose someone out of fear and not because they are the one?

I agree with most of what you guys have to say. We communicate. And that’s what’s making it work. I do tell him EVERYTHING but I worry if that’s too much. Even telling him some of my feelings were out of hypomania but I told him today those episodes are sparked by the fact I’m so happy to be around him. We were gonna kiss today but the street was quite busy and now he’s off to research secluded streets so he can kiss me :flushed:

But how do you know if they can cheat for you they can’t cheat with you ?

:joy: That’s both cute and funny.

The only problem with telling the guy what your feeling about him is that 10 minutes after you feel differently, he will think that’s how you feel about him from now on.

Have you ever considered keeping a journal to keep track of your fluctuating feelings just to see what kind of pattern it follows?

It might give you more insight on your moods?

It’s not that the feelings “change”. I like him it just changes to I love him and back if you know what I mean. I’m still adjusting to new dose.

I guess so. But you know sometimes a certain man is special. I’m not a girl who cheats though.
