I don’t love you anymore..but I can’t seem to love anyone anymore

On August, 3, 2022, he expressed his love for me. He feels 100% completely comfortable around me, and he’s never felt that way before. We’ve only known each other for two weeks, so how can I believe what he says? Isn’t it too early? How can he be so sure of it? In fact, did I feel the same way? I could possibly imagine a simple life with him but as for any relationship, I always do a reality check of my feelings and what actually sounds logical.

He is wonderful — I can see him fitting into my life, my family, my small social circle. He said the same thing about me — his parents would adore me. I can cook, speak Cantonese, and I am pretty. His parents’ expectations are also pretty low considering that he never brought a girl home and his parents are ecstatically waiting for that to happen.

In his past relationships besides the four year relationship, he never felt like it ever went to “that point.” I’m not sure how he can be so confident that I am the one. Maybe it’s all the genuine vibes I’m emitting and sometimes it brings me back to my relationship with Michael and what he told me about all the genuine vibes, which I ultimately broke his heart and it scarred me.

Nathan told me “I really like you a lot”. I replied “how do you know?’’ You barely know me.” “I feel like I know you pretty well — your family, mannerism, etc…”

Green flags that I hardly witness anymore: Gentleman who always opens the door for me, always pays for dinner, and I can feel he wants to take care of me.

At the end of the day, I put my family first and I wonder if he will make the cut. If he becomes my family, then I will be putting him first but I have to know he will do the same…

I’m in love with the idea of LOVE, and does it really exist.
