I'd say give it time. It's most important to be fully grounded on who you are before you can enjoy another person's affection. You're a smart girl, I know you won't just jump into things. Give it time, and let it develop naturally.

And damnit, come visit me sometime. I miss my Darbykins.

Why is that aweful that you like him and he likes you?

if you know youhave bad habits when you are seeing someone couldn't you just try to work around them? Or let him no if the relationship looks like it might be getting serious and he may be able to help.

for what it's worth I say good for you and go for it.
