Well, I have a quandary. It's a good quandary, and an amusing one. So, I prayed about a week back that Heavenly Father would help me to find a girl who was interested in dating me, and in whom I would be interested in dating. Boy, did he ever answer in grand style (as he usually does when you are doing everything that is required of you.)
I found a girl all right. We met on Tuesday and I've already spent about 5 hours talking on the phone with her. And she's spiritual, kind, ambitious, cultured, and beautiful.
But she seems way more excited about this than I do. She's bringing up all the marriage questions already. "I like the name for this child, how about you? I think this is super important in a relationship, how about you?" Etc, etc.
In short, I don't know what to do.
But I think the above answer is pretty good.
I prayed and that's what came into my heart.
“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other”

Well, let's pray for charity. This girl and I, we're different, but I can accept that. I won't be offended because she's handling the relationship a little faster than I am. And I will NOT use her obvious enthusiasm against her.
Most importantly, remember this as you conduct this relationship: 
Jesus loves this person. So should you. Have compassion, etc, etc.
