How do you act in a new relationship when you haven’t been in a relationship in a really, really long time?

With caution. And silent introspection. Not my usual self–taking the time to reflect, think and respond.
Awkward at first, then realizing it’s actually kind of fun to rediscover everything.
By giving myself and the other person a lot more grace and patience and ensuring that I actively check in with myself and my nervous system more frequently.
Awkward and shy, but if the individual is understanding it usually goes well
