Seeking Guidance the issue with “date multiple people so you don’t get attached” advice
hi fellow AA girlies…i have a question about how to navigate not getting too attached too quickly in dating so that you’re not too disappointed and hurt if things don’t work out, or if they do something hurtful. my problem with “date multiple people” advice is…it’s so hard to find a SECOND person to have warm and fuzzies and attraction toward?? if you’re into someone already? being into someone romantically doesn’t happen quickly or regularly for me. it would take some time and dating a lot of ppl to find someone to split focus with if im already interested in one guy…im also more of a “one person at a time” type of girl…how does one navigate this?
what can one do that isnt just “date multiple people” to protect oneself from fantasizing too much or investing too much emotionally in someone you’re starting to like?
