Please only advice and no criticism

im going on a date next week though it’s not actually our first one together.

we had an initial date about 2 years ago - (met online) - he wanted to take it further into the night - I didn’t as it’s not something I would do

ive had a lot happen to me on my past, infidelity, a very emotionally abusive husband, and a long history of medical problems.

I’m so nervous about because I think I want to take the next step but I have body image issues due to all the physical scars from surgery. I haven’t been intimate with anyone for 6 years!!! I’m just scared and more than that if he didn’t call me after the know I would blame myself for putting myself in that position. I don’t want it to be just sex as I need to know that there is a connection, not just wham bam. How do I go about it and be treated with Gentleness and sensitivity?

I don’t even know if any of this makes sense

What happened (or didnt) after the first date? Have you been in touch since?

There is no way of guaranteeing someone will stay with you after sex, but it's much easier to weed out the ones who want a relationship (and for you to work out whether you want more from them) if you get to know them first.
