Well thank god everyone's telling you to go with the flow. I was initially worried you'd get the "take some time to reflect..." advice. You get scared when you think you're losing yourself because you need to have some independence to feel secure. Fear like that probably comes from the part of you that knows no matter how close you are to people, you are still potentially alone. I'm not saying you were even considering pulling away, but its so amazing to think a person can actually want something so much that they choose not to have it in order to never have to go through losing it. I always tell myself love is scary because it matters.

Rational logical advice would be awesome :)
Enjoy it. This is one of those times you don't need to decide or will anything. Let love surprise you. Let love be good to you, and it will.

What you wrote was what I thought the first time I fell hard for someone. It was hard for an INTP to let go and accept that reason and logic would do no good in this situation, but I did, and I'm happier for it.

Nah, man, that's a hydraulic fluid leak. There's a kit stored in their rears to fix that.

um....Can you go grab it for me, I gotta use pressure till you get the kit. No way im digging in the rear. I mean those NTs have the theory down of wiping, but I dont know if I can trust them to actually do it successfully.:glasses:

Yes, chances are, you're in good hands. :)

You may even want to consider mentioning some of these issues to her that are on your mind like the unease/confusion you've been having and your worries about hurting her. When we know what's going on, we can be very understanding.

That said, you don't want to just assume she'll know your tendency for impersonal decision-making isn't meant to be hurtful. Those things need a bit of explaining sometimes.
