Constant thinking/Overthinking about my relationship?So, erm, I'm 16, and about a month and a half ago I began speaking to a girl at my school, in the same year as me. I genuinely thought she was just being friendly but she was great nonetheless. About three weeks later we found through friends that supposedly we both liked each other, so I asked her out, she said yes. She's great, but there's one issue, it'll sound stupid but I can't stop thinking about her. This is only my first relationship really, and whilst I find sai girl great and all, is it natural to constantly think about her almost all the time? It sounds stupid I think, but I can't help but feel It's not natural, and besides, it's quite a distraction at times, and even when it's not a distraction there are times when maybe I wish I could think about other things. I just fear soon I'll come across too clingy and possessive towards her, and since she's the first time I've been in a relationship, I'd prefer if it lasted a fair while.
Long story short, is there any way/method/techniques I can use to stop constantly thinking about my girlfriend? It's just such a distraction and can become rather annoying and worrying...

Re: Constant thinking/Overthinking about my relationship?it's a new relationship, and you're young, so it's completely normal.
when my husband and I were first dating, we always wanted to be around each other even if we weren't in constant contact. it was like, the moment classes were over for the day for one of us, we'd text the other and ask if they were doing anything.
it'll die down eventually, but it helps to make sure that your studies are the priority. girlfriends/friends walk in and out of our lives, but our studies decide our futures. -

Re: Constant thinking/Overthinking about my relationship?you're welcome. just make sure to put your studies first, and make time for your girlfriend, not the other way around(Original post by CraigWM)
I see, thanks a lot! Helps with the whole inexperience factor!
