Feel better, friend. The mere fact that you are concerned about being a creep means you're one of the good ones. Relationships are hard, even with good people, so try to lower the stakes. Have a friendly coffee with no real expectations with more people. More dates with less expectation. This is what helped me. I said something completely stupid and autistic on my first date with my now wife, but she stuck with me because she saw potential. Relationships are a numbers game. And to help decide who to keep and who to discard, I like the Secretary Problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem
