I met this person through a mutual friend in December and started texting with her. I wasn't sure anything was going to happen and I was fine with it because I was just enjoying it.

We finally met up in January and it was slow but very nice. We are both romantics and while are interests are different we get along great. I started to feel like I may like this person but I was calm about it and wanted to still take it slow, just to be sure.

Cut to yesterday we hang out (for the 5th time). Have a picnic and cuddle I felt fantastic and flooded with so many feelings. We end up having sex for the first time and it was fun.

I feel like I just really want to be with her, the feelings and the thoughts are strong and racing. The issue is that realistically we are just starting out, there's still a lot I don't know about her and while we do have a good foundation I need to find a way to chill out my feelings otherwise I'm going to just dive headfirst into something instead of easing in. I'd like to know people's experiences with intense feelings and how to slow down enough to build a relationship instead of going all in.

Tl;dr: my feelings for the person I've been seeing seem to be incredibly strong and I'm concerned I'm going to go way too fast and fuck it up.
