What do you do when someone seems to be interested in a perception they have of you?

If some sort of feeling of attraction has been around for a while and seems to stick around, persist and increase, it seems likely that she is falling for a projection of you. We don't know each other well at all. And to be honest, I'm still interested, so am likely interested in a projection as well.

The main problem is that the longer you wait to begin a relationship, under these circumstances, the more disappointed you will be while in the relationship (they are nothing like the projection). That is definitely something I fear, and a main reason I have problems delving into a relationship...I fear that I will end up being something other than what they first saw, or a disappointment. When they form a projection, there is no doubt I will be a disappointment. I am no fairy tale princess. I most certainly have flaws; flaws that their image of me will not have.
