Do other empaths relate to this while online dating

Does it happen to you also that every time you start talking to someone new they feel an intense connection with you, almost fairytale like. They would open their heart and say they were waiting just for us all this time. They will showcase their most romantic side to us and get overwhelming excited. They would make promises of life time in the very first week of conversation. Despite whatever we say, they deny to accept that they are going too fast and insist it is their real feeling.

However, when the connection settles down after a while they start realizing that they might have overdone certain things and overstated promises. And the connection starts getting awkward for them and you?

Is it a normal empath experience or am I doing something unintentionally to have these repeated experiences. I would love for things to move slow and get to know people on a stable pace but every time the connection feel like an emotional cyclone and overwhelms both of us. Please help guys
