<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

So I (27M) recently met this girl (21F) and she's really sweet, from a great family, and very attractive. Her mother grew up with my mother, they recently reconnected, so our families ended up meeting.

To make a long story short, I live in Boston and she lives in NJ. We just met a few days ago and started snapchatting which lead to texting. It's gotten to the point where it's pretty frequent, mostly with her initiating, but I'm just not "feeling it" right now. I don't know if it has as much to do with her as it does with me - I went through a tough breakup last year and still feel "off" emotionally, and to make matters worse, my previous relationship was LD and started via snapping, texting, FaceTime, etc.

I need some advice on how to kind of slow or stop things, without hurting this girl. I realize I might (or probably am) over-analyzing things, especially this early on, but I don't want her to think the wrong thing or have this texting progress without me wanting it to. I am half tempted to tell her some of this, but she could totally be like "where is this coming from" seeing as we have only been talking for a few days and I'm not sure how she feels or what she's thinking.

Should I just slow my responses and just keep things very surface and let her figure it out? I figure this is the best thing, but I'm a very empathetic person and find it hard to do things like that because it's so easy for me to put myself in the other person's shoes.

Any advice on what to do or say, or NOT do or say, would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
<bot>: I started texting this girl but don't want to lead her on, but also don't want to hurt her. What should I do?
