I find that with this new love, I do not have to tone myself down out of fear of scaring her away like I have had to in the past with everybody else.

I definitely resonate with this! Especially the bolded part. What if I do something to mess things up and make him not like me? This is my biggest struggle all summer. I just need to learn how to turn off that switch that so easily doubts people's intentions.
It's a silly way to think because he is obviously taking the time to talk to me, call me, even visit me in person. He has told me how I make him laugh. Pretty undeniable, right? :P
I'm really happy you found someone who suits you! And yes, you shouldn't have to tone yourself down... love should make you excited, and no one should contain that excitement!
I seem to go through phases where I feel all happy about our "thing," and then I get nervous and anxious about it. Honestly just not talking about things in person is hard, but the wait is getting shorter!
