What are suggestions for letting go of controlling someone else and holding my power. Typically when dating I want to control the situation in terms of how fast or slow we are moving. Right now the guy i’m dating is feeling pressured by me to be in a relationship (he said this). I don’t want to pressure anyone! How do I just let it flow naturally? with compassion for myself!
