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!!

Thanks… This helps a lot Both side need to be aware, work on it and meet mid way for it to work, I am being mindful, it’s going to be hard to control instincts and impulses, but I think it would be a little easier if I see effort from her as well
