Just take it slow & don't commit to anything until you really feel it's right. If you have any doubts, or any hesitations, listen to your gut feelings first, you can always change your mind about someone if you are keeping a distance, but once you commit to a close relationship it's almost impossible to move back to keeping it distanced again.

I realized what my husband was really like a few months before our wedding was planned.....my mother said that "he would grow up" & become responsible when I told her I didn't want to get married to him. I stupidly listened to my mother rather than my gut feeling (trying to give him the benefit of the doubt). I will never make that mistake again.....no guy every gets the benefit of my doubt. If I have any doubt.....I will listen to my gut feeling. I ended up sticking in the bad marriage for 33 years & am not separated & can't get a divorce because of the financial mess he got us into.

Just be cautious.....there is nothing wrong with that & it's for your own protection.
