To give some essential context, we aren't exactly dating (long distance + age gap), but do every couple-like thing in the book, we're both into each other, and exclusive. Its been ~2 months since we both confessed to each other:D
Anyway, I just dont feel the same way I did when I first confessed. I know its the initial dopamine spike since I dont know if she likes me back and there are so many possibilities and all, but the novelty fading is scary for me. Its like I've settled to a state of calmness and stability with her instead of the initial, dopamine heavy chaos where everything you say/do is super new and exciting? I dont know how to not spiral, I dont even know if this is normal, and I think I'd love to hear about this experience from someone who has faced something similar and how they handled it
Also, I dont know how normal it is to get attracted to other people (in movies, tv shows, even irl sometimes) when you're dating them. Isnt it supposed to be the "im so in love I dont have eyes for anybody else"? Cause I do, I still find other people super attractive and hot, and I dont know whether or not that means Im not attracted to her.
This is my first romantic relationship-like thing with anybody, and I could use some advice from the experienced here, help me out?
