The rush of falling in Love is irresistible. Sometimes it happens faster than our egos can handle and then one or both people will exit stage right, often with little communication. The admonition to go slowly is fine when you're rational, but what about when your heart chakra has just been blasted open by someone? Sometimes a heart connection is stronger than any rational imperative.
This is why I always tell clients to keep their family and friends at the ready. It's almost impossible, but at least somewhere in your consciousness you can remember, call a friend and not your new love interest when the raging emotions lead you to believe you've found, The One, though you've only recently met. Infatuation is not Love. But, I know, it's often difficult to relax & be chill when someone's attention or affection has opened Pandora's Box.
In most Western cultures, being emotionally vulnerable is a taboo. We're to be so independent, keeping people at arm's length, sometimes forever. While I do not recommend parading as a bleeding heart, I do feel it's powerful for both men and women to express their honest feelings, gradually, to see how well your Love Interest handles such professions of authentic emotion. But when? Because men have been discouraged from showing their emotions, it's often prudent to let the man set the tone for the emotional depth of a relationship. If he's "just not that into you", MOVE ON! I can't understand why someone who vacate an opportunity to share deeper feelings given the superficial tendencies of industrialized nations, but this is the world we live in.
Because women are given lots more freedom to feel & express emotions, often they crave it way more than men. But a woman will usually not reveal her precious feelings if a man doesn't give her some encouragement, making it safe to go there. Women, you should know that even when a man gives a tentative entreaty to explore such heart-felt emotions, you are best advised to tread cautiously. I believe, though our humanity doth so crave, our conditioning doth so not. Hence, give your relationship time to blossom on both sides, and give the man time to integrate the powerful feelings of attraction if you are blest with his ardour.
Love is powerful, and a profound gift from Heaven. Your hearts are your greatest treasures. Run to established relationships. New relationships cannot be expected to withstand the weight of your deep, heart-felt emotions, nor likely the fallout from premature physical intimacy. So, save yourself the embarrassment and keep your grace & dignity. Build the foundation for emotional & physical intimacy, and you can enjoy exploring the adventure of Love together.
