You had been impressed with someone's questions and answers on this site and then emailed them comments on that and then found that the two of you had shared certain experiences and that commonality made you feel good, and by getting to know that person a little you got a sense of admiration for them, but then somehow you got the feeling you might be seen as getting too personal and perhaps viewed as a stalker? Would you stop communicating? Should you stop? Would you back off? What do you think is the right thing to do? Please no spam.

Are you talking about me??? I like talking people on Yahoo but I guess there is always a certain amount of fear involved in being too personal. I like to feel like I have new friends though so keep on communicating. Good question though. It shows you are concerned about how someone else may be feeling...sounds like you're sensitive to that.

well, seems you may have found a good friend in doing this. I would not stop communication. maybe a comment to this person would do expressing tht you hope you are not gettingtoo personal but you like to communicate with them. Just perhaps this is your own personal idea and maybe this person is not getting that idea at all. take it a little slow for awhile and see what reaction you get. dont rush to answer a mail the minute you read it.
You will more than likely get a response about not answering right away. this should be asignal all is okay. good luck. dont worry take it slow maybe the friendship will grow..

I think you have to try to see it on that person's mails whether they seem to be comfortable with it or not. If they seem to be ok with this, I don't see the problem in continuing. But if you get the feeling they might be feeling a little awkward or uncomfortable about it you should back off a little.
There's nothing wrong with making new friends and it's great to find someone who understands you well and has similar experiences. You just have to look for signs whether the other person feels the same way.

Send an apology if you have not done so already.
Start letting this peron be the one to initiate contact with you for a while. If the person does not initiate contact then don't you contact them. If they do contact you, wait a bit before you respond. If the person starts contacting you regularly, then you can start to contact them regularly. If they don't then leave them alone. You freaked them out and you must learn your lesson.

Have you tried sharing that with the person?
If so and he/she's worried that you are stalking, too - time to back off.

It's best not to communicate at all. Thank them for their answer and leave it at that.
