I hope you don't do it while talking, though. It gets annoying when overused.
It's not "wrong" if someone wants things to move "fast!"....BTW I do hold up two fingers on each side once in awhile to mimic quotes when I'm talking. (But not too often!)...I like to do voice impressions and sing songs in offbeat ways at times too! I guess you could call me a non-conformist.

I've been married 3 times and I had tons of relationships earlier in life. (Before I met my last husband.) I'm not saying that we should all become nuns and priests and take a lifelong vow of celibacy!...I just don't want to be pushed into a "fast-track" type of relationship if I would rather take things slow with someone.

I get nervous if someone comes on "too strong" and "too fast" today. How do you feel about it? Thanks!
Yes, it can be overwhelming when someone comes on too strong right from the get-go. It intimidates me, depending on who's coming on to me. However, if it's someone I'm already very interested in, then the chemistry can heat up pretty quickly from my side of the equation, too!

Hey, whatever floats your boat... Usually similar people (in that respect) find each other anyway or one checks out of the game rather quickly if the initial assessment has been wrong and that's not the case.

I agree. It's a whole "other ballgame" when there's a mutual attraction right off the bat...What I'm talking about is different. One person tries to make "more" out of the relationship. And the other person ends up feeling "spooked" and "smothered" and "roped and tied!" YUK!

Quoted for truth.
I think it's about "instant gratification" too! As in: "I want what I want right now and I shouldn't have to wait! How dare you make me wait!" It's not a very good way to start a new relationship! It's like throwing meat and vegetables into a pot and calling it "stew" before it's even cooked.

On the other hand...left to simmer too long may just turn the otherwise hearty meal to muck...

Directed towards the OP...

I too get leery of those that attach themselves very quickly...
While for some this works if the feeling is not mutual it can be creepy..
It tends to make one think if this person feels this way about everyone they encounter...
