This post reminds me of myself about 3 years ago! I used to have a huge crush on this girl for 10 years (yes, a whole decade), and decided to finally tell her how I feel on Valentines Day. Problem was, I had not spoken to her for 5 years, and I blindly jumped in expecting a relationship out of it. I didn't know how relationships worked. I spent so long dreaming and obsessing about her that it clouded my judgement, and I had started to believe in my own dreams. It goes without saying that she was genuinely shocked, but she was nice about the whole thing. We went on one date, which turned out to be a total disaster. We spent the whole night looking at the floor and away from each other. We had nothing to talk about. Conversations ended before they ever began.
I guess what I'm trying to say is to let your relationship together progress naturally over time. There is no reason to rush into things, especially at such a young age. And I still consider anything under 40 to be young. Go out and have fun. I found this difficult to believe myself, but there are actually other girls out there. Other girls who you may possibly enjoy more than her. I don't doubt that this girl must be amazing, since she obviuosly has you so stressed out. But why would you want that kind of stress on you?
And please keep us posted!! I wish everything goes well!
