Not sure what this means. Can you elaborate on what you mean about giving too much power? I dunno but it comes off as standoffish for a new budding, possible relationship. You don't want to be expecting the worst, but just relax and let things happen. Once you're on the defensive with those kinds of thoughts you're going to be on the wrong footing in my opinion. I agree with just a friendly hello is a good thing but just by saying that YOU are over thinking it too.
