I was up until 2 AM because I couldn't sleep, for various reasons. And now I'm miserable, but at work, though late today. You don't get sick pay when you're a temp, so. Here I am. Though I finally got some drugs, so maybe they'll kick in.

SA feel better.
I think I might have to force myself to eat something so I can take more pain medication.

Gris, my advice is just to CHILL. You're going to drive yourself nuts by thinking you "should" feel a certain way at a certain pre-determined time in a relationship. And you'll probably drive smart!girl nuts, too.
I know you said your relationships get serious quickly, and you don't even know if you know how or even want to have a non-serious one. I understand that and totally respect it.
That said, CHILL. If you worry that your smitten-ness hasn't happened on schedule, if you worry that this relationship isn't following the same exact pattern as your previous ones -- well, you might be throwing away a chance at something really good.
I'll note this, and then let it go: The Boy was most definitely NOT head over heels for me right off the bat. Or even after a couple of months. And he actually brought that point up to me -- he said "I'm not obsessed with you -- that doesn't seem right." He was expecting it to be Grand Cinematic Love, and was confused that, with me, it was SO not.
And I told him that grand cinematic love is pretty, and nice, but not something that can be sustained. Flash fires burn out pretty damned quickly. Bonfires that get built up from kindling and then bigger logs, etc., will burn for a long, LONG time.
(And those last 2 sentences are possibly the cheesiest things I have EVER typed. But I stand by them.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Eh, they may be cheesy, Steph, but they're true. Grand Sweeping Epic Love is fun and all, but it doesn't last. I've found real love to be more of a startling awareness of someone's significance. It's subtle. The other person simply becomes more real than the rest of the world.
Gris, let the relationship be what it wants to be. There is no standard for these things.

If that could happen NOWISH it would be great...

Holy shit, victor. That really nails it. Certainly at least as far as how I feel about S, and how I came to realize her importance to me.
