How to Stop Obsessing After a First Date
Take A Deep Breath- Sweetie, this guy isn’t the last coke in the desert. I know he seemed great on that first date, but you have options! Don’t put all your expectations on one guy. Don’t sweat it if he doesn’t text back. You have standards; you’re a woman of quality. Remember that before anything else.
You Did Your Best- At any given time, you’re just doing your best. Don’t beret yourself because you were nervous or said the wrong thing. Did you have fun? Did he have fun? That’s what’s important.
Go On Dates With Other People- You may be crazy about this one guy, but nothing distracts you better than dating around a bit. It gets your mind off that first date and helps you to enjoy the single life. Don’t put all your expectations on one guy. If things don’t work out, you won’t be so hung up on it. Who knows! Maybe you’ll meet someone better for you.
Hang Out With Your Girls- Get your mind off things by making plans with different friends. Go out one day with your girlfriend. Head to a networking event with another friend. This will help you get your mind off things. Plus, you’ll have fun in the meantime.
Next Time…- If there is a second date and he does text back, remember to just have fun! Give yourself a break. The right guy will like you just the way you are.
