In my life's experience walking on eggshells has its own meaning.

Are you still in therapy? I ask because it's important to not overwhelm nor burden her with a variety of things. Learn about healthy boundaries and still date her.

She likes your interests, that's a positive. She's a year and out of the mourning period. Are you capable of in no way shape or form being threatened by her widowhood? My mom found it nevessary to put things away. As been daughter, adult daughter, I would have appreciated seeing embracing as if some type of extension without insecurities involved by her next husband. It was what it was.

Does she have children, if so, are you open to this idea?

She may need quiet moments. You mention being a bit of a loner. Can a comfortable silence be withstood?
