Hi,

I was on a dating site for 4-5 yrs and I recently decided to just start dating. I use to chat to guys but then felt scared to meet them. I have a condition which makes it hard to date. So would say this and say sorry don't want to waste your time.
Anyway I met this guy everything changed I deleted the account feel so much better.. Because of another reason too.
I just can't believe when I met him I was so nervous. Not felt like that since a long time. Then met him the other night and things went further between. I was trying to take it slow but stayed with him. Things got a bit messy think he did wrong and so did I by not telling him my condition.
Yesterday we had a good chat he seems understanding. He knows I like him but so scared if I fall for him then feel I be ***. I have held my feelings in. Yes still early and told him this and he said he will take it slow with me.
This morning feeling scared to lose him and that he going to change towards. Although he has not my doubts are scaring me.
We just had a talk about my son which has freaked me out more.
My son don't see his dad and just said he needs a father figure and he worried about him. I told him my son been saying stuff.
So I said I wanted to talk him about that in person.
I like this guy a lot and I think he likes me too. I can see us being together.
I've always said any guy that comes in my life don't expect them to play dad to my son. I just want some to support me.
My son once said to a friend of mine she said something stupid to him. I don't need a new dad I have one already.
Just feel that it's happened so fast and probably worrying over nothing. I'm happy and I am shocked how understanding he is. But I am still holding back being early days.
I'm just like thinking in my heart this seems meant to be. No other guy made me shut the dating site lol. A bit mad how all this has happened.

" he did wrong "
What did he do ?

You need to slow down, OP. Forget all the potential father figure rubbish for now. Have a few more fun dates with this man, start to get to know him, then decide whether you want to promote him to actual boyfriend. Two dates in, you really and truly don't know the guy at all. I know you have messaged him loads and feel like you know his soul, but anyone can say anything in messages.

mpeters82 · 10/08/2018 18:21

Thanks for all advice. Thanks to some who saying what I already know. But some things happen and maybe meant to be. We just have to see. I am still pacing myself.

Nothing is 'meant to be' after 2 dates. He could be an axe murderer

For goodness sake stop being silly

SparklyMagpie · 10/08/2018 19:03

Right yeah I'm out now, this is quite pathetic after 2 dates

flopsyrabbit1 · 10/08/2018 19:11

op you either have or need a knock to the head

i dont even understand half whats going on

you really need to calm down

MistressDeeCee · 10/08/2018 19:18

Hope it goes well OP. All life and love is a risk so just go with it for now

You need to slow down though. To be honest if I met someone who talked to me about their child, future,very personal info etc after a couple of dates only then I'd back away. It's too soon and too intense. You should be having fun getting to know him now.

I don't believe in baring your soul to a man quickly anyway, if ever. You don't know this man yet.

It sounds from your post you had sex and regret it. Hope it's not that but if so and he shows his face again well then, that's a start so talk about it

flopsyrabbit1 · 10/08/2018 19:24

op your posting history is full of posts about online dating,meeting with guys etc

do yourself a favour and cancel online dating your relationship past is messy to say the least

Domino20 · 10/08/2018 19:29

You are not emotionally stable enough to date.

ApolloandDaphne · 10/08/2018 19:39

Calm the beans!

Go for few drinks with this guy, get to know him. Talk about stuff. Don't rush. If it is right then he won't push you into doing anything you don't want to and will accept your condition whatever it is.

Don't introduce him to your DS for many, many months.

Relax!

This is like really bad google translate ConfusedConfused

SparklyMagpie · 10/08/2018 20:14

Only just realised after a PP pointed it out....so you say he's been distant and the last time you saw him you had sex...

Just adds to my personal opinion about this set up

PerverseConverse · 10/08/2018 21:11

The hills are this way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lemonyknickers · 10/08/2018 21:14

It's quite hard to follow, is English a second language? I hope I'm understanding right, 2nd date, had sex, you didn't want (?) Then talked about your kid and future? If so echo others comments, way to much way to fast, chill and if he pushed toy past your comfort zone sexually DONT see him again, no matter the connection, on a second date nobody just be forcing anybody.

Lemonyknickers · 10/08/2018 21:15

You not toy, should not just.... Sorry

spottybetty · 10/08/2018 21:18

What condition do you have that makes it hard to date?!

Just calm down and back off otherwise you will scare this bloke off.

CaveDivingbelle · 10/08/2018 22:15

eh?? Can you explain it? 2 dates? He's done wrong? I'm 🤔

EmmaC78 · 10/08/2018 22:28

I am also struggling to follow this.

mpeters82 · 12/08/2018 15:37

I called it off. Suppose it went to fast. He told me something which seems shady. He never understood something like I thought. Thought too good to true. Oh well life goes on.

mpeters82 · 12/08/2018 15:46

I never meant we were meant to be together but I think theres a reason why I met. After first date told him let's be friends. I just probably was not ready to date after all. Freaked out.
There is a good reason behind.

He was full on and what he told me killed it.

Sometimes it's easier said than done. I mean it did go fast. I know it's crazy to say but it was like we always knew each other. We spoke on same level. I suppose now I called this off I had lucky escape.
He was telling family friends about me. I think this why I got scared.
This happen and suppose u learn your lesson in time. Thanks for comments
