How honest should I be about being inexperienced?

I'm 28 and I've never had a boyfriend, but I met someone online during the summer. It's obviously been completely stop-start and sober.

He's very keen that I come and stay at his for a few days (we both WFH and he's suggested quarantining beforehand also).

Part of me wants to go but part of me is petrified. I think I really need to be honest about how inexperienced I am. I wish that I wasn't, but I am, and I think I need more time. He messages every day but I think this has made our 'relationship' (it's not, but ykwim) more than what it should be?

I am also aware that I have a terrible habit of self sabotaging because I don't want to deal with things, but I don't think I'm doing that here...

Yes, I do. I’ve been on a few other dates and knew I didn’t want to see them again, but not with him.

That sounds promising. Lockdown might be making things "fake-serious", sure, but perhaps it might also be giving you a bit too much time for overthinking? Nice that you've been able to take it slow, too, but things are often a lot simpler and easier than expected when they actually happen.
