You're right, I am overthinking. I had been out of the dating scene for a significant time due to several bad experiences (ended up as someone's revenge lay while she was still married). Been a long stretch since dating / LTR and, with that, out of practice with the whole magilla.
Pointing out the positives is something I suppose I needed enforced, rather than just stewing about what I perceived as negatives. As I said, been a long time from dating anyone (not counting 1st dates on apps where the photo isn't even a real representation of what finally showed up). That put me off for an even longer time.
Personally, I don't think it's oneitis, but more of a fear of rejection. Will admit I'm not some Chad buff looking dude, not that I ever was. I suppose this adds to looking at the negative too much. I need to focus on her positive interaction with me.
Best. Advice. Given. Looks like Friday is the do it or die day. Let's see where things land.
... and thank you for the sage advice.
