<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Six months ago I divorced my abusive wife, I've started my life over, I actually did deactivate my Facebook and hit the gym like the cliche says, didn't need to hire a lawyer a friend of the family did just fine.

There is this girl with whom I have always been friends, we tried dating years ago but it didn't work out at the time. She also had a poor marriage ending around four months ago, drunkard of a husband, not much physical abuse mostly lots of fighting.

All of a sudden (not really, we text every once in a while) she is back in my life. She lives around 1200 miles away, and came to town for a visit (there were also other friends she had come to see). We spent some time seeing the local attractions and had a very enjoyable three days. We spent almost the entire time we weren't busy at attractions and with other things making out and having sex.

Now we've decided to try the long distance thing and play it by ear to see how it develops. Here is the thing, I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to do the LDR thing, sure google helps. Google gives you ideas, we're probably going to be doing "skype dates" and sending each other random gifts, that's all fine and dandy. I just don't know how to handle the emotional impact of dating someone again, it's been **years** since I've had someone in my life like this.

I'm worried about getting too attached too quickly, I'm worried about pushing her away by being attached too quickly, I'm worried that we're only interested in each other because we both just got out of bad relationships and are rebounding, I'm worried that after this "honeymoon" phase is over we'll realize this is a stupid thing after all. I'm worried about the potential of a life with someone who I have known for 8 years and still surprises me.

I don't know how to handle this. I'm having a hard time finding a balance between over communicating and under, and over all I'd just like some advice about how to handle this. Thanks, sorry for spewing a wall of text at you it was cathartic.
<bot>: LDR, Old friend, maybe rebound, I don't know how to date anymore after 5 years married to a mentally and physically abusive wife.
