I have a bad habit of jumping into relationships, how can I stop myself from putting it all out there and wearing my heart on my sleeve? I am a hopeless romantic and jump too quickly to be in a relationship... how can I stop that? ANY advice?

I'm afraid that's who you are. You won't scare away the guy that's right for you, but you might get your heart stepped on a few times along the way.
I told my wife 2 weeks after we started dating that I loved her... she then told me she loved me.
I told her after a month that I was going to marry her. She was a little surprised, but we kept dating.
We've been happily married for 16 years.
Don't be afraid of who you are. Don't hide who you are. That way, the guy that's meant for you will actually SEE you.

Yes. Here's my case. I, too, am a hopeless romantic and I frankly don't care if society likes it or not - it is me. So here's my story.
My wife died of a brain tumor and I was emotionally off-balance. My wife's friend's son was working for me at the time and knew me to be a "non"-player (nice guy, no games, etc.), so he suggested I go online to a certain site (I do not want to be sued for slander so I won't say it). I met this "vulture" who masqueraded as a human - we went out on the first date about 100 days after the wife died. Needless to say we got married, then she took me to the cleaners, poisoned my family and friends against me, etc. Damn-near turned me into a woman-hater. So use me as your "poster child" in this and you will have ample motivation to pull back a notch (notice I did not say quit altogether). Best of luck.

Think about it like this, If you do jump in they might be scared off, and if you don't then it might turn into something more. It is good to be romantic but don't only be that, be their to make them laugh, smile, be a person that they would enjoy to be with.

Date more than one guy...
Distract yourself from just one person.
I use to do that too and it use to turn guys off...so now I just do my thing and now they are the ones that are clingy...
I don't get it...and I don't do it to play games either...
I just know what guys like and don't like...and I don't do what they don't like...it's annoying to them...Most men need space...and you have to when is a good time to affectionate...

This is a tough one. You have to find something inside your self that will control your emotions.
