Is it normal to think about the person you're dating a lot?
Yes, it’s very normal to think about someone you’re dating a lot, especially when the relationship is new or exciting. It’s only a concern if the thoughts feel distressing or start taking over your everyday life.
Absolutely. When you like someone, your brain tends to replay conversations, imagine what’s next, and wonder when you’ll see them again. That can be especially intense early on, and plenty of people do it.
People differ in how much they think about a partner, so there’s no magic “too much” number. If you can still focus on your own life and the thoughts feel enjoyable, it’s usually just part of having a crush. If they’re making you anxious or crowding out sleep, work, or friendships, it may help to slow down and reconnect with your usual routines.
