The connection you're developing with a new special someone is not just about romance -- it's about personal growth. It's not that they are responsible for your development as a human being, but being in a relationship with them is helping you learn new things about yourself. So whatever you do, do not pretend to be something you're not. Do not agree to a nutty thing they say when inside you're thinking 'what the heck is wrong with them?!' -- you need to be genuine if this is going to work.
