    Hi,

    This is my first post, and a bit of an observation. Much of what I read says that to receive love and be a loving person you should not be afraid to show love, and feel love for everyone. Friends, family, people who hurt you, and of course in romantic relationships – I agree! I try to act with love, care and compassion towards everyone.

    The ‘conflict’, if you can call it that, is around romantic relationships, and around how to express that ‘love and care’ in a new relationship. Will it come off as too much, too soon? And how do you express feelings of love and care without expectation of return in this kind of new romance?

    I met someone I adore 🙂 It’s very early stages. Any thoughts?

    Congratulations. The opportunities and possibilities for new love is intoxicating. However, slow and steady wins the race. Be kind, courteous, interested and honest but remember that everyone puts forth their best side at first. So, get to know the real her. Support her through a few hard times and see how she shows affection before committing your emotions. Nothing is instant except crushes and lust. Admiration, respect, friendship and love takes much longer to grow.

    Thanks for the good advice… it’s so easy to get swept away in a new romance!
