So I just started dating an ESTP man which I honestly never thought would happen. I met him almost a year ago and we went on a date and I got cold feet and said it wouldn’t work. I really regretted it but was too scared to admit how attracted to him I was. About a month ago we ran into each other at a coffee shop and he said he hasn’t stopped thinking about me. I told him how much I regretted what I did. He said he wanted to try again and I agreed. Things have been going pretty well, but we’re having some communication issues. I tend to keep my feelings and thoughts to myself because I feel like I live in my head so much and he likes to live in the moment. He gets frustrated and asks me to communicate my thoughts but I feel like I have to walk on eggshells so that I don’t offend him by telling him everything that goes through my mind. I know he wants me to tell him everything on my mind, but I don’t think he realizes how much is actually on my mind. Any advice to bridge the communication gap. He’s always asking me how I feel and to be honest sometimes I’m not even able to directly pinpoint how I feel and I feel like that’s gonna frustrate him. I really like him. I like how direct he is and I love how unfiltered his sense of humor is, I’ve never been in a relationship with someone who I could be so blunt or unfiltered with and it’s really refreshing. Even though I’m very logical, I’m also super sensitive beneath everything and he’s been saying to me he wishes I wasn’t always so logical about how I feel and I should allow myself to actually feel things. I think that our relationship could work, but it’s gonna take work on communication on my end. Any advice?
