Hey all! So I’ve been on one date with this guy. I’m mid thirties female and he’s late thirties. He’s from a different part of the country from me but recently moved to my area. He’s from a background that I have never dated before and they are typically/stereo-typically very passionate and forward. It is not at all what I’m used to and I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed. He seems all in already and while I am as well (in terms of only talking to him and very interested in seeing where things go) I don’t move as quickly as he seems to be used to. I don’t know how to tell him that I so appreciate the compliments and intensity at which he’s seemingly developing feelings but I don’t move that quickly and need time to get to know him. I am starting to really like him while also trying to protect my heart and not get ahead of myself.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
