. ive been through a LOT in my life and that includes abusive relationships as well. ive been single for almost 2 years now (by choice). i have issues trusting men. i am also fighting the internal battle of keeping my heart open for a new great relationship. ive known this guy for most of my life. hes such a sweetheart and always has been. we've always liked each other but never really pursued each other. we're both single and like to be around each other a lot. i really like this guy (which is a big deal for me) and i can tell he really likes me and wants to be with me. i dont know the exact reason but he isnt wanting to make us official yet. possibly due to his job and lack of any free time or something like that. (he also loves my daughter). im being patient and waiting till hes ready and he knows this (ive told him). how do i stay patient? how do i tell him how i feel without scaring him off? how to i keep myself from getting led on and turned down again?

us women are complicated, ive known this- but so are men lol. not all men think the same way. my first bf i was with for 6 years and we just kinda got together and stayed there for a long time. my daughters father was kinda the same way. we were always together so we ended up a couple. it was always easy for me to decide if we were going to be a couple or not. this guy is different which with my history in men (a constant liar and an emotionally abusive man) is a GOOD thing. he loves to show me love and compassion and sometimes i swear he comes over some days just to play with my daughter lol.
i want to thank everyone for the advise. it really did help me
