So, guy I've been dating - not very long - I already feel like I love him. I have only known him for half a year... dating only a little while.

 

I broke up with the last guy because he got way too serious way too fast.

 

Which leads me to this - do I keep it under my hat or do I tell him? I am not the type to keep how I'm feeling to myself in general, but I never have said I love you first - it just hasn't been an issue.

 

I am not getting very clear I love you vibes, though he is beyond expectations in words and actions.

 

He is amazing: hilarious, kind, faithful to friends and God, adventurous, humble, giving, and probably the best looking guy I have ever dated. (I didn't consider him a prospect at first because I thought he was about 15 lightyears out of my league) He complements my weaknesses; and I his. (There is no pedestal; I know what might be considered less than ideal about him.) My friends love him; and I get the feeling I'm considered okay in his circle too. (We met through a mutual guy friend.) He is not very much like the guys I have dated before -- well, I'm not too convinced he's like anyone, but say he has different career goals (world domination not his thing, haha), different ideas of where he wants to be in life... and is more relaxed than driven. Let things come as they may.

 

I have never responded to a guy like this, ever. And I feel crazy in it - sure one second he cares deeply and another that he is barely tolerating me. In person the former and half the time on the phone the latter - maybe a guy thing! But I haven't really ever wanted to talk to someone as often - even my ex husband, so I didn't really care that he didn't want to talk much except in person.

 

I feel like not sharing makes it worse in feeling crazy, but I just dumped a guy for not slowing waaaay down. Might be a little stupid of me to follow the same path.

 

What do you think? How much do you share in a relationship, and when, and how much do you keep to yourself in the interest of not scaring the person away before everyone is on the same page?
