Hello women of reddit ! So quick background story before I ask for advice! Let's call the guy im seeing "Bob". So bob and I so far at this point have been talking for a 4 months now. By month 3 I was realizing that I was actually really starting to like him instead of just casually dating him. So I asked him if he was even interested in the idea of a relationship since I wasn't into the whole "casual dating" idea. Just not that type of person. He then told me he wasn't. It's ok I don't blame him he has his own viewpoints and so do i. So we stopped talking for maybe just 2 weeks and he texts me just casually asking me how everything was going blah blah and we texted for the night. The next morning I told him I don't want my time wasted since my view point still hasn't changed. He informs me that he changed HIS view point and says he would like to try to start dating one another. He said he wanted to wait until the New Years to have a clean slate. We agreed we wouldn't be talking to other people . Been on 2 dates since and both times were great.

SO. Now that we are up to speed, I feel beyond scared dating him. I want to trust him but my last relationship really took affect on me. But he isn't my ex so im trying to be open. However ever since we stopped talking during that duration I felt like I was doing great independent and now he is back. Why? Do I believe what he is telling me? There's no reason for him to lie. Right? I feel like im freaking myself out for no reason. Idk. Has anyone ever felt like this before?
