God I'm so pissed at myself right now! I've been talking to this guy over text everyday since Friday and things have been going really good. He's even coming over tomorrow night to hang out, watch scary movies, and help hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Things couldn't be better at this point.

This morning he text me and told me he had a dream about me last night. Nothing wild, but still I was flattered. So, despite my fears and wanting to take things slow, I decided to tell him that even though I'm trying really hard not to at this point, I think I'm starting to fall for him, really hard.

He text me back and said thanks but he wasn't sure he felt the same way yet! And while I was ok with that, I'm starting to get that same old feeling that I'm pushing to hard and I'm going to scare him off. I told him that if he gets to feeling like I'm moving too fast to let me know and I'll back off and he said he would, but now I find myself feeling like a complete idiot.

I really like this guy and I don't want to mess things up, but at the same time I don't want him to think I'm no longer interested in him. Why can't I find some sort of happy medium when it comes to building a relationship with someone?

Saying and acting are two different things. We each take out own approach. You seem to be one to say it first and that's fine. Just follow his lead and, don't set yourself up for heartbreak.

Give him time, stay close, get to know him but, don't push the affection too much. Some guys are more skittish than others for a variety of reasons. As he comes to know and trust you, he will relax, and, if the feelings are there, he will get to them in his own time with you. If not at least you will have made a friend, and one you know you were honest with.

I know, part of that is the very limited dating pool down here but, still don't let your heart make you too pushy too soon.

Yeah I've backed off a lot already. I'm still texting him, but it's more on friendly terms. No flirting unless he initiates it and mainly just idle chit chat over the texts. I really don't want to do anything to scare this one off, friendship or otherwise.
