Hey RTL, just thought I would chime in. There are plenty of people out there that would like nothing more than a good companion like you. I hear what you are saying about the coming on too strong too fast issue. However, do not let it consume you. Just be yourself. If she like swhat she sees all the better. May as well find out early if you guys are compatable. In my brief experience on the dating scene, I try to just be myself. I may have come on a little strong once or twice and may have scared a few ladies, however, I do not look back. Live and learn and above all enjoy your time with the new lady. If there is one thing that I learned in all this process, it is that there are no guarantees and we all need to drop the what ifs....
