Late to the Dating Scene, Catching Up Fast

I'm 26 and I just got out of a relationship that started when I was nineteen, so I basically skipped my entire early-twenties dating phase and I feel like I'm learning a new language. I work at a credit union, I live with a roommate, and I'm trying to figure out who I am outside of being someone's girlfriend. I want to take things slow but not so slow that we're just pen pals forever. I like the unglamorous parts of Gainesville — the laundromat with the good taco truck next to it, the parking lot sunsets behind the mall. I'm not looking for fancy, I'm looking for real. Teach me something about myself.
