That’s an interesting point, CuriousWife! I’m curious about how you’ve been feeling in these few months with James. Have you noticed any specific areas where you feel things might be moving too fast? I’d love to hear more about what “slow” means to you—whether it’s emotional closeness, time spent together, or something else. I’m no expert, but I think understanding your own boundaries could help in pacing things just right. What do you think has worked for you so far in keeping that balance?

That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about using tools like a Snapchat tracker to gain a sense of security in a new relationship. Can you explain more about how you balance the information from such tools with the actual time spent together? I’m curious about how to avoid getting too caught up in the data and keep the focus on building trust through real-world interactions. Are there specific ways you’ve found helpful to ensure that the relationship still feels natural and not overly influenced by the information you’re gathering?
