I also think I "think" too much, but this board is a great place for me to work things that I've got going on in my head out and get some real, honest feedback from you guys.
Thanks for saying my GF is lucky for me to be so thoughtful. I'm very concerned for her, but I still have to be careful that my thoughtfulness doesn't keep me from doing things for me. A slippery slope that I'm not used to as I've always been able to jump right into things....
...however we also know my past relationships have all been flawed too. Patience is the lesson I'm learning right now, it seems.
I'm still playing w/the idea of matching her intensity and I'll see what it feels like and if it isn't comfortable, I'll stop doing it.
On the other hand, I don't want to scare her off by being too much, so I need to read and react w/the situation, I guess.
In a perfect world, I wouldn't want someone to hold back on me either, but in this case, I'm not sure "letting go" is the thing to do right now.
Again, I'm in a read and react mode w/this, but I'll still post my thoughts and will always take any and every type of feedback I can get.
