I have been talking to a man for 2 weeks, we hit it off straight away, he is the first person I've spoke to since the split from my ex many years ago as I lack in confidence.
We've spoke on the phone, text and have arranged a date for a couple of weeks time.
I must say that I like him and could see it progressing into something for both of us however I am having some reservations lately because of what he has been saying. He asked for my address, we're meeting at the restaurant so there is no reason why he would need my address, I told him that I'm not comfortable giving out my address this early as I don't know him well enough yet and he replied that he is hurt by that.
The other thing is that these last couple of days of speaking he has tried to throw sexual chat into it, asking if I want a picture of him, that he's having dirty thoughts about me and very random questions about my sexual preferences. I stop the talk from going in that direction and he just changes the subject.
Now I like him; personality, looks and sense of humour are perfect however I am sceptical as this is the first time I've spoken to a man online and the first time I've got close to someone else since my EX, I've told him some insecurities I have and he was very lovely and reassuring about those but I don't want to be hurt again so I'm wondering whether I am being too cautious and need to lighten up a bit or if I am right and how I should handle this.
Thank you.
