I can easily sympathize with your situation, but it is very difficult to empathize. I am after all coming from the opposite side of this equation. I don;t think you know just how rare is it to find a nice guy who can et us into their lives. Lots of guys say they can, until it happens.
I think it will become important to keep a check of your feelings. Also, keep her feelings in mind as well. I know that the past 2(ish) years being single has lowered my expectations of guys to the point I'm surprised when I get treated with something like respect, and downright dismissive when shown something close to genuine attraction. I simply assume it's a ploy and will be revoked as soon as it becomes too hard or whatever. My fear is that I will become so jaded that I can't allow myself anything. I have seen it in other gals and I really hate it.
So keep your emotions clear - keep your gal in mind and be very clear with your intentions. If you can't be Prince Charming, at least be fair and honest.
