I just had a thought.
I (used to) easily fall for someone, as soon as they took the slightest bit of care of me or validated me.
It made them seem like the greatest person in the world.
I've been purposefully single for the past 1,5 year and recently I've developed a little crush on someone.
Now I wonder, how do I know if it's a legitimate option, or if I'm just jumping that same old wagon again because he's giving me some positive attention?
Anyone any advice on this?

I have been doing so much better lately and I don't want to mess it up again.
