I am a mid 20s man. I have very little dating xp and no relationship xp. I want to see what it is like to co-live with a woman. When I am introduced to women by friends I am afraid I seem eager to jump into a relationship and that is a massive turn off. How to be disciplined and when I am introduced to say Anna. Not to let the devil and angel in my head have this convo - I am ready to date her, but I need to know her first. Ask her out, buy an engagement ring just to be on the safe side. No, careful you don't know her yet take it slow.

I believe this eagerness to take action comes from my insecurity that I might be rejected and never experience real love despite me being an average bloke. How to control it in my head or at least not show it with awkward behavior? Does thinking - oh she will never sleep with me, she finds me ugly work or will this just turn me off from all women?
