Thread: I'm so screwed!! <3

Congrats! It is a great feeling although a bit scary.

My advice would be to communicate and always be honest. I don't mean honest by pointing out every flaw you don't like, but honest about your feelings and expectations. Decide what kinds of things you are willing to compromise on and what kinds of things are deal breakers. For example, my friend really wanted a baby in her lifetime, but was getting older and not meeting the right guy. She started getting panicky (don't want to say desperate) and started going out with guys who did not have kids in their future. Those are two mutually exclusive things. If something is really important to you, be honest about it. And ask yourself if you are willing to hold on to your convictions with the possibility of not being with this guy, or are you willing to let that go to stay with the guy and down the road you will not be bitter or hold it against him.

I know....that is all maybe way more serious than you wanted. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Have fun! Be safe. And enjoy the euphoria of new love.

My advice is that no matter how good it feels, always take a step back and go about things slowly and patiently. Let yourself miss him, let yourself crave his presence, let yourself get to know him. We all know that when we jump into things head over heels warp speed, it doesn't often turn out as we'd like. But maybe it would've turned out like we'd wanted if we'd been patient and took it slowly.

Isn't it a wonderful feeling? The feeling of someone new, the intrigue, the butterflies. Ahhhh. Congrats on this new relationship.....take your time and enjoy it.
