My advice would be take it nice and slow. Develop the relationship as friends, if there is romantic inclination on both sides it will show through and starting off friends will give you some assurance that he is with you for you. I don' t think we need to wear our diagnosises on our sleeve, especially because of the stigma, but we don't have to avoid meaning it. Treat it as if you need glasses. Talk about mental health issues in the media and news and see what his views are indirectly. You may be surprised and if he says something insensitive you can know without divulging your health.
I was where you are so many times before I met my husband.
Good Luck and remember to treat yourself well so others can follow your example.
