Why I Overthink After a Good DateThe date is over.
You've said goodbye, walked back to your car, caught the train home, or closed your front door.And then another conversation begins.
"Did I talk too much?"
"Did I seem nervous?"
"Did they like me?"
In this episode of Modern Relationships with Reeta, I explore what happens when we stop experiencing a date and begin evaluating ourselves.
Why do we replay the awkward moments and forget the easy ones?
Why does "Did they like me?" so often become more important than "How did I feel with them?
Sometimes the most revealing part of a date happens after it has ended.
In this episode:
→ Why we replay dates afterwards
→ How self-evaluation changes what we remember
→ Why awkward moments become disproportionately important
→ The difference between "Did they like me?" and "How did I feel?"
→ How dating can quietly start to feel like a performance
