So meeting someone new, trying to build a relationship, and flirting the whole "chase" thing...yea it's all confusing to me. I mean I may be over thinking this, but can we attempt consistent communication. Spend some QUALITY time together. Or at the very least let me know what you tryna do and what you are and aren't ready for so we both on the same page and not wasting time. Is that too much to ask? Am I over thinking this? I can’t be the only one lost and confused right? What are your thoughts??? Let me know!!!
