I might be getting into a relationship very soon. A guy that I've been talking to for a couple of months was my date to a friend's wedding this past weekend. We traveled together to attend, and he and I were together and chatting and flirting almost non-stop for 3 days straight. It was magical, and we're both spending this week apart to decide if we should turn this into a relationship. This is his idea.

He's going to be spending this week talking to his peers, our mutual friends, his therapist, his parents, etc. making sure that this is the right decision for him. He wants to make this decision with a clear head, which is mature, understandable, and in our unique circumstances necessary.

I'm going to be spending this week glued to my phone, overanalyzing every text he sends, and praying that he doesn't find a reason to change his mind.

I'm already sold. He's everything I want in so many ways, but I can feel myself getting obsessed with him. It's affecting my ability to focus at work, to stay on top of chores, to communicate normally with people that aren't him, and I know if I let this continue I might survive this week without him noticing but it'll hurt us in the long run.

So what are some strategies I can use to keep from being obsessive and anxious right now? And what can I do in the future to keep something like this from happening again?

Edit: We are now dating and I have chilled out :) I've found actually having hobbies has been the best solution to this issue
