I also cringe when I hear (not on this thread but in other places) people talking about 'needing' someone, or needing that love or affection. I don't need it, but I have decided that I do want to spend time with someone who makes me laugh and whose company I enjoy. And I don't want to rush it, move too fast, and become an instant couple with someone.
All great points. Yeah I have never understood the "I need someone" idea. No you don't! Wanting and needing aren't the same thing!

Once bitten, twice shy. As long as you have told your lady friend what your deal is and how you feel, there is nothing wrong. Now if you've led her on to think you will be married by March of next year, then that is no good. Just be honest with her. A D changes you. At minimum, it makes you analyze things a little more.

LOL. Good for you for sticking to your guns.

So true. That's like, "The first time a person shows you who they are, believe them!"
