[quote Racer X]That sounds like a great starting point. Numerous subjects to talk about during your "travels". Low key, low stress and low-ish expectations. Honestly, if you can't enjoy being with each other having adventures together, there really isn't anything that can survive long term anyway. You need to be friends first. (most of the time)
The way I look at it, someone you want to wake up with is far more important than someone you want to go to bed with.
Yes, that's what I thought too. Low-ish expectations means you can pretty much only be happily surprised (e.g., hopefully things can only go up from there). Also... her asking me out, and deciding on all the arrangements... this obviously really reduced the stress level on my part, totally put me at ease, and REALLY impressed me. I told her as much (about me being impressed). This in turn I think really put her at ease.
