Thank you quietincrowd. I can see how letting him know what to expect from me will make it that much easier, plus it'll let him know to not take it personally. I wouldn't want us to have a problem talking to each other about issues later on, too, so it's good to start early.

FeelingHopeful, we've been together for at least over a few months. We're both young adults, so it is a learning experience, especially for me. I see what you mean. We can learn to understand each other over time. I really did want to know if I should break up early, so that we don't have a chance to get too attached to each other as time goes on, but I won't worry about that for now.
