How to not get your hopes up in the early stages of dating?

I know logically in my head I need to take things slow, find out what the person is like, and not expect too much of them straight off. Problem is I tend to get way to excited with someone I like, and way too passive with someone I don't.

What are some tips to keep things in perspective so I don't keep messing things up?

    Oh geeez. I'm the same way, haha probably one of the hardest things to do. It's natural to get excited. Actually, I wouldn't try to stop it. Get to know him, and be excited in the time doing so. But if it doesn't work out and he isn't actually what you thought he'd turn out to be, then just keep an open mind and know there will be 20 new guys lines up to meet. Keep your excitement and enthusiam, fighting it is no use. Good luck, :).
