I've got butterflies but I can't tell anyone

In October after months of planning I left my emotionally abusive partner and went into a refuge. Ex moved on in 1 week, he's a gambling addict, needs must etc
NYE I met a guy who said add me on FB... I did and we've exchanged a few messages. He asked for my watts-app and I've had a few messages going Bk and forth. Nothing suggestive, impersonal, offensive, just nice hello, good morning & have a good day voice messages.

I'm not going to lie, he's really fit, like I got turned on looking at him fit 💦😁
He hasn't made any suggestion that he might fancy me, he's just being gentlemanly & nice.

But my mind on the other hand is reconnecting with my body several times a day, is this normal?
Should I immediately friend zone and put it out there because I'm worried I might be getting carried away at the first man who's been this nice to me in ages or should I let this play out?

I haven't felt like this in bloody ages, I've been going out a lot with friends & I'm really loving my life right now despite living in a refuge.

See that's another thing, I can't even be honest with him if he ever asks can I?

Christ my life is doomed 🤣

Maybe I should just back off for a bit and do us both a favour 🤷‍♀️

Well done for taking the step of leaving your abusive partner. It is brilliant that things are coming together for you. But...

...as you yourself say, you need to be careful about over-reacting and getting carried away. It is a good start but just give yourself a break and look to build slowly. Life is long.

I think I am overwhelmed tbh

My best friend is a guy and this bloke is talking nicely just like my friend does, nothing more.
