Emotionally drained after a date?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been dating a girl for about 2 months now and Last time I saw her I found myself emotionally drained and stressed when I came home. Ever since that encounter I've been wondering if that's a sign she's not right for me. Could it also be possible that it was just a bad day for me or something? I don't know what's wrong with me. I've had so much fun with her before. This whole thing is stressing me out.

Was there anything different about her attitude towards you this last time you saw her? Did you feel interrogated, or under pressure for some reason?

I think being stressed after a date is rather normal for an Aspie.

Why were you stressed? Were you having very personal/emotional talks on the date? Did she say something that stressed you out?

If it was just a general feeling of stress with no concrete event that set it off, then you were probably just having a bad day...maybe your hormones were out of whack or something. If you can trace the stress back to something that happened during the date, then you'd have to tell us what happened for us to offer any advice.

Could it be related to the activity you did on the date?

I think it depends on the situation. If you felt drained once but you normally don't, I think that's pretty good actually.

I wouldn't break up over it anything, unless the feeling just doesn't go away. But even then, there could be other things causing the feeling that you just aren't aware of.

A lot of it may be due to lack of sleep. I work a night shift and saw her at noon. I was also stressed because I was a nervous wreck. I even hit another car while driving. (I suck at driving.)

I think being nervous can be from the pressure that you associate with a date. You should stop worrying so much.
