When I meet someone, and I think they might be interested in me (can never tell really if they are wanting to be just friendly or not), I sometimes feel like I don’t have a choice and my mind just preprograms itself to think about all the future great times we may have or getting married and started a family, etc. (I haven't even dated the person).

So I was just wondering how to train yourself to guard against these types of emotions, not that I want to be anything like a robot, but perhaps something more along the lines of Jedi-like, or just stronger in the emotion department, at least when I only first meet the person.

PS: I’m only 20, who’s never really been with anyone, and I do not believe I really know the difference between love and infatuation, so I may be using the term "love" prematurely.
