What To Expect When Dating An Over-thinker

"There is nothing in this world that can trouble you as much as your own thoughts."

Over-thinking is poison and what-if's can literally start to run your life. Now we all over-think some aspects of our lives, whether it be regrets, self-worth, or certain decisions and they tend to consume us. There are many struggles that come with being an over-thinker, like struggling to find meaning in everything on a daily basis. Or trying to sleep. There is nothing to distract our racing minds when laying in the dark silence with no distractions. But the absolute worst thing about being an over-thinker is dating. Here are a few things to know about dating a girl who is an over-thinker.

1. Situations will be replayed.

Everything you say and do will be played in her head over and over again, especially if it's something that hurt her feelings. The things you say will be what keeps her up at night replaying the conversation in her head.

2. She needs clarification.

If she is someone you have been dealing with for a while but the two of you don't have a title she will find herself questioning what the two of you are. She has probably asked once or twice if she is just sex to you because in her head that's all she thinks she is. You have to let her know that she is way more to you than what is between her legs. If in fact, all she is is sex to you, then be up front and honest with her.

3. We need you to say what you mean and mean what you say.

Don't lie and don't beat around the bush. To keep her from overthinking tell her what's on your mind, how you feel and especially how you feel about her.

4. Her brain will never rest.

She will constantly over analyze everything when it comes to her beau. She notices the way you look at her, your behavior and attitude towards her. If there is something on your mind she will notice, if you're acting different she will know and if you touch her slightly different than you usually do she will notice and most likely think she has done something wrong.

5. We won't tell you exactly how we feel.

We overthink so we tend to not share our feelings because we think you aren't interested or don't care how we feel.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
