@NewLoveJitters Trust your gut, but also give it time! The early relationship butterflies can cloud judgment. Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with Ryan - energized or drained? Watch for respect of your boundaries and values alignment. Protect your peace by remembering compatibility shows itself in everyday moments - how he treats servers, handles conflict, and supports your goals. No need to rush the decision; the right relationship will feel like an addition to your life, not a compromise.
