I would like some advices about this matter, English is not my first language so I will try to explain my self the best I can.
I'm a 30 yo man that started to date this woman she is 23yo, i got dumped like 3 years ago by my wife we were together for 11 years, i was so broken that I didn't want anything serious, i felt that i couldn't feel something for someone anymore, i was pretty broken, untill i meet this woman like 3 weeks ago, but somehow I'm insecure and i feel that something inside me stop me from believing in this, we have been on 5 already, she text me alot, we text each other everyday and those 5 dates were really good, we tolk for hours and walk together, at the 4th date we kissed, we went to the beach and had a good time, but one thing i see is that she doesn't express her self, like I'm the one doing all the moves, each time we see each other is because i tell her to meet, she always say yes and she always drive long distances to meet me, but I'm getting mixed signals, the thing is I really like her and somehow I'm scared, we had sex in our last date, and my performance was pretty bad, i didn't last too much , also my current financial situation makes me insecure, as I had to move to a new country because my son is moving here, so I'm living in my mom's house while I'm able to stabilize myself, all this sense of not been able to be independent makes me insecure, she seems like she doesn't care about this but I do, i feel like I'm not someone that can bring something to the table right now and I don't know why this woman likes me, or if she is just having fun and I'm seen this more serious than what it is, but I really like her, i through i wasn't able to feel again but here I am, with a ton of anxiety triying to figure out what this is and worried about messing this up, worrying I'm not at her 'level'

I think it might be best to work on yourself and get in a better place practically with things like home and finances but also mentally.
I don't think you're ready to date right now.

You’ve only known her for 3 weeks, calm down! Maybe she likes you, maybe she doesn’t, but it sounds like you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself for no good reason.

No matter what happens with this woman, you are on an upwards trajectory.

I'd take some time out and go off on my own - have a good think - what do you need to do? What steps do you need to take to get there - make a plan and start working it.

That will bring positive changes to your situation.

Love is always a risk. You risk the other person and you are also at risk yourself. You must be honest and brave. But there is no other point to life - good work and honest love, those two are important. Take a chance, but also be a good person. I think you'll be fine.

Brilliant advice from @something2say

Stay away from people who give you mixed signals. Healthy relationships are founded on clear communication, and that starts on day 1. It doesn't need to develop.

If you want a relationship that gives you mixed signals, stick with her. If not, don't.

Do you want a relationship with mixed signals, that has you feeling compelled to post on a forum after a handful of dates? Or would you rather meet someone you could communicate with and understand clearly, without the need to ask for external advice?

She had sex with you. Yes she likes you a lot. Women are different from men. They don’t have sex typically with a man unless they like him, unless they are mentally ill or prostitute
