It’s all too fast, I’m overwhelmed

27 female here. Met a guy online, went out for a nice meal Friday dinner. He came up to my house briefly and we kissed. He was a gentleman and went home after.

didn’t met on Saturday but on the phone all day (6hours) talking about everything and anything.

met up Sunday evening for dinner and chilled. We fooled around a bit but he didn’t want to go any further. He wanted to make sure it’s done properly. I was in agreement. Talked all night too.

I drove him back home Monday (35 miles apart) and I worked from home at his house.l and went out for dinner again on Monday and I stayed over on Monday night. Fooled around a bit and kissed a lot but again nothing further than that. Agreed this is too soon to do that.

He had a hard life, terrible family situation and had some tough times but now doing well for himself. Stating his own busines. My life is more stable, goal oriented and good family. he said he’s grateful I’m letting him experience fine dinning, great banter, good humour and he feels very happy.

its been 4 days and he asked if we are considered going out over text. I said we are dating and going on dates and see where things go. I said this means we are free to date other people. He said he doesn’t wanna see other people and the vibe I got was he’s keen on us heading to exclusivity and gf/bf route.

he admitted to me he matched me the dating app due to boredom and was just swiping but wasn’t expecting to turn out to be so happy. He said he has girls on the app and Snapchat ‘on demand’ when he’s horny and didn’t wanna actually see anyone and meet up with anyone. But he said meeting me is so different and he’s not looking for short term anymore. He wants long term now.

im really overwhelmed. I like him but at the same time this is tooo soon. I feel pressured. And I don’t even know what to say. I don’t know what I want now. I don’t want one night stands or FWB. But I wanna date and see. Don’t wanna say for definite whereas I can tell he is keen.

also, he is handsome and gyms a lot so physique wise he looks great! So I don’t know what my problem is… just feel overwhelmed all of a sudden after he messaged me this this morning.

I think this is too soon. I wanna pull back a bit now… what do you guys think?

There's an awful lot of analysing going on and not only from you OP.
Why can't you just go out with him, enjoy dates and take what he says with a pinch of salt.
He's not going to march you forcibly down the aisle, you control when and how often the dates are, he'll accept it or he won't.
Unless you want to stay home alone that is.

I think analysing is super important if your gut feeling is that it's overwhelming and too much too soon. Your brain is trying to tell you something is off but when, at the same time, you also like someone it's important to know where these feelings come from. Many women (in particular) gets trapped in unhealthy relationships that never would have happened had they just stopped, taken a step back and analysed what is actually going on. It's great the OP is posting on here to better understand why she's feeling the way she is, lots of us have experience with this sort of thing.
