Nobody is perfect, all have flaws. Dating to me was like pulling the weeds from the rose garden. There were a lot of weeds, but I don't regret going through them to discover the few roses along the way.
You don't have to marry the guy, your just dating. Think of it as something casual and you won't get 'sucked in'. Consider yourself the one 'in power' of how any new relationship in your life will progress. One thing about being dumped and feeling powerless about it, is your a little wiser and stronger the next time around. You won't let it happen to you again.
Trust yourself and enjoy the company.
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." -Mark Twain
