Keep yourself busy while you wait for your love interest to connect.
The early stage of a relationship is full of extreme highs and lows. When you hear the other person’s voice on the phone, your heart skips a beat, and you smile to yourself whenever you receive a text or e-mail from the person of interest. Then when you don’t hear from them, you start to worry.
Obsessive thoughts find their way into your mind, and you worry that your romantic interest does not quite feel the same way as you do. If you have yet to get a reply to your text or e-mail, you worry that you might have typed the wrong thing. So you dissect every word that you have sent, and start to drive yourself crazy about it all.
