ok so i like this guy went on two dates with him but there is a red flag. he really likes me and has made that obvious, but i just met him last Monday. like i think hes falling too fast. he says i make him feel special. one thing he said was he wants to know everything about me. and that im amazing. also we work together so thats another thing. hmm not sure what i should do. i told him i want to take thing SLOW. and i did tell him after he said he wanted to know everything about me that it was a little much. hes cool and everything but idk somethings definitely wrong/missing.
