Maybe it is too early to post this, but, hey, always give the net
the benefit of the doubt.

Last night I had a first date with a very nice person.

I also know for a fact that she just broke off an engagement to
a guy she used to go to school with. (She lives here and he is
still back at school out of state so they haven't seen each other 
for a while).

Still, breaking off an engagement must be a pretty good shock to the 
system, so obviously  I will have to treat this person with some
extra tender loving care.

It occurs to me though, that she may now be (temporarily?) gun-shy,
and not very willing to go  "one on one" with anybody for a while. 

This could mess up the natural order of things for us (i.e. to fall
in love and live happily ever after).

Any comments on things to do/not do? or similar experience??

Thanks.
