Thoughts please.
Met someone on OLD. He has been open and honest with me, had said he’s changed, grown up and I’m the woman he would like to be with.
His history/ track record - he’s had relationships with single mums with kids as well as single women.
He has cheated.
He has ended relationships and moved around to make a fresh start.
Works in a profession where he gets lots of chance to meet women.
He’s pleasant, helpful, friendly, flirty.
He has had a messy parenting, says he’s worked through it.
I’m a single mum (no ex around), independent and have a career.
Pretty settled in many ways.
Our relationship is less than 10days old, second date he asked me be his girlfriend. We are off the dating sites.
Said he loves me.
He’s keen to meet the kids.
Keen to come over for dinner.
Told me he’s told his family and friends about me.
He says the absolutely the right things.
Lives in rental despite being in a well paid job, have very minimal possession, down to few clothes.
Said he’d like to live a life that fits in a rucksack.
Our dates are socially distancing ones , walks in open areas. The chemistry is strong and nowhere to move forward.
I feel the same, our chemistry is great, I love the job he does, definitely a people person, great standing in the community.
My only concern is this -
Would he break my heart, would he get bored / decide to move again.
Not only breaking my heart but messing up the kids.
How do I make him (and me) take it slow?
I really like him but worry about the commitment issue / future.
I don’t have much experience in dating different types of men..
I don’t want to miss a chance to be happy, adored and loved.
But I need to be extra cautious due my kids.
How can I make sure he is committed?
