SUBMITTED BY TWENTYSOMETHING TALES: Ever notice how the beginnings of relationships are similar to breaking up? Everything in my life is suddenly uberdramatic – I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, there’s the constant obsession and worry….Man, sometimes it sucks being a girl.

Jason and I have established that we like each other. A lot. So I really can’t explain why I need to overanalyze every frigging detail of our conversations to a point where I convince myself that Jason has lost all interest in me. But, I still feel like things are new, and we could go either way.

Just to give you an idea of how bipolar I’ve become, here’s a quick rundown of my day:

8:03 a.m.: Wake up with adorable, scruffy man in my bed. Morning makeout session. Mouthfuls of puppies and rainbows.

10:15 a.m.: He signs on to IM. Joyous day!

10:16 a.m.: Why has he not messaged me? And – what? – he just put up an “Away” message. Oh no, he didn’t.

11:23 a.m.: Still no contact. I am Queen of Darkness.

12:15 p.m.: IM: “Hey Kiddo!” and continued exchange of banter. All is right in the world again.

3:22 p.m.: Response when I ask him, “Can I take you out for dinner tonight” is “Perhaps.” No further discussion. I am imprisoned in a hell of my own making.

5:11 p.m.: “Oh sorry,” he writes, “got distracted. Where do you want to go for dinner, kiddo?” Lemon drops and unicorns.

You get the point. Basically, my life has turned into a constant flux between heaven and hell. In a good way, though…if I am making any sense at all…
