Thanks Laura. With regards to people being amazing until you get to know them, yes, I did consider this. However my feelings towards her were so overwhelming that my usually logical mind could not direct its energy towards logical thinking. I had no spare energy left. All of it was taken up by my thoughts of her. I felt like I was just hit bit a freight train just lying there trying to pick myself up. You are right though. Jumping into something without thinking of the consequences would be dumb. After we met initially I actually waited about a week before I sent her my first e-mail. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to say something stupid and rushed. I wanted to send it straight away the next day but I waited and made sure I played it cool.
