My natural instincts seem like all the things you need to avoid with an avoidant partner like overwhelming intensity of feelings, going all in, oversharing, excitement, showing raw feelings etc. I was wondering if it's even sustainable.

In case it's not a run while you can scenario, I would appreciate any advice for an early talking stage with an avoidant and later stages if it goes well

Thanks!!

People that have an avoidant attachment style are likely to have a difficult time communicating effectively when things aren't going well.

likely, yes. not certain. it depends on the person. that's why communicating when things are going well is important.
