I agree be yourself, I have met the coolest dudes to date when i was just myself and they knew who i was. Even now my bf knows who i am because we met under unique circumstances.

He also brought up all the "hard" conversations so i didnt have to.. we have our ups and downs but that is just growth and going deeper.

I love that you mention not everythign is a red flag, yet yellow or organge and you need to decide if thats gonna change to a red or you are just over analyzing!
