You’ve met someone you can’t stop thinking about. Every time you see them, the day’s issues seem to melt away. There’s a slight electricity in the air when you touch, as barely and brief it might be.
And yet, you have your doubts. You’ve been hurt in the past and, as much as this person brings a smile to your cloudy days, you’re afraid of falling too deep too fast. You’re worried about losing yourself in the thrill of love.
Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Sometimes you need that moment of doubt before taking the leap.
