“When the smart girl starts falling in love, her first instinct is to question her emotions. She’s not used to letting her heart take the steering wheel, so her brain will hold her back for a while.

She’ll need to study what’s going on between you. Evaluate your relationship’s progression. Rationalize why she’s feeling the way she is. Make sure that you’re a good fit practically, not just emotionally. The smart, big-hearted girl doesn’t let her heart take the lead right away – she keeps a clear head while she’s testing the waters.”
