The volume of interaction is exhausting, I completely hear you. My W will go a couple weeks without much interaction, then flood my e-mail in box with 6 different items of various levels of importance. Some are important, some are not. I just want to come home from work, do something fun, and not deal with it at all sometimes.
I think you have the right idea to take any romantic connection slowly. A good divorced friend of mine has warned, "Beware the rebound!"
