Crumpet,
It sounds like you had a good experience with a first date. It also sounds like she was complimenting you and now you may be having difficulty accepting that appreciation from her. I suggest just giving yourself a little credit, it won't hurt you at all. (unless you do become a cult leader or sumptin')
Now, as far as your "healing powers" go...I have epilepsy, so take your best shot. Succeed...and I'll bow down and worship you.
And my dating advice: After my last marriage, I looked for somebody who had what I consider one of the most important qualities...empathy. That's one trait I think will serve both of you immensely in trials of life. I found her.
Now...hurry up and get to Texas...and have a safe trip !
