The good news, and the bad.

The good news is last night around 12 my date texted asking if I was up, I texted back that I was and if something was wrong. Nothing was wrong, he just wanted to talk. We ended up talking until around 3am :)He also came and got me for breakfast this morning. Im in total awe of him, how is a guy like this single? How is someone like this into me? I don't get guys like this!
The bad news, I don't know how realistic dating him is. For many reasons
1- While from the outside looking in I seem to be doing well, considering last week, Im not. Im really having a hard time with guilt and accepting my actions. The idea of dating is awesome, but to really date someone scares the heck out of me right now. Figures I wait 26 years to meet someone like this and the timing couldn't be more off.
2- Even if I get past those feelings I refuse to be dishonest in a relationship again. I have to be honest about last week. It's impossible for me to go on many more dates and him not know. Plus at the rate we're going i'd assume sex would come up in the next few dates. I can't lie about why I cant. This will most likely scare him off. BUT if it doesnt it I worry about him telling Fred at a later date. I need to know he can be trusted with things. There are things I need to be upfront about from the start that i'd rather my family didn't know.
3- We both have kids, and are dating has to be okay by them. Im not worried about my daughter liking him (she likes everyone, but his kids very well might like me. He also has to be good with my daughter, and while I believe he would be (since he has kids and seems to be a great dad) you just never know.
4- I don't live here and while the idea of moving there has crossed my mind (before meeting him) I haven't made up my mind yet. I need to do what is best for my daughter and I and not just to be with a guy. But even if I did move there it would be a few months away and that very well could be a deal breaker.
5- future kids have to be on the table. Which is a super hard question to ask someone you just met. But if he is 100% he doesn't want anymore kids then it's best to get out before we invest more into the relationship. I can wait years, it's not like im asking for them tomorrow, but I have to know it will happen.
Figures I meet someone and all these issue come up. Im so scared of fully letting someone in and getting my heart broken. I've always been guarded and have never let ANYONE all the way in. I also question my feelings for a lot of people i've thought I loved. I felt something so strong for guy #1 and after feeling that I truly wonder if i've ever trully loved past boyfriends. I had never felt like that. But with this new guy I feel a super strong connection with him. More so then guy #1. And im wondering if maybe the feelings aren't as strong as I think, but because i've never felt it before that it's more then it is.
It's all so confusing. I wish things could just be easy for once.
