I totally missed the detail that you had not even met with him yet. My apologies, it was early. I have a little more advice for you and then I'm out ...
I think you are probably just one of us many mixed up Women (myself included) with little real life experience or knowledge of what a Real Man looks like, or a Loving Relationship.
Some of the things that helped me and remember to take each with a grain of salt as this is Your Journey, and Not Mine:
The Site called 'Baggagereclaim' There is so much advice there but remember each article is written from the perspective of one Woman with no real education to back what she says. I have to say that it has helped me immensely anyway, even if it was hard for me to read.
Start listening to your Gut Instincts and know what your Boundaries Are. Who Are You? What do you Want from a Relationship. Make those boundaries and do not let anyone cross them. This gets better with practice, as do all things.
Find things that help you feel "Empowered" and "Strong" like a song (Roar by Katy Perry does it for me everytime) and use them when you feel that confusion settling in.
Last but not least.... Make a List of Everything that is Awesome About You. Read it every morning for at least a month straight. Read it throughout the day as well. In fact Read it as much as you need to read it so you can retrain your autopilot thinking. Sentences that start with "I Am" are perfect.
I hope this helps you to see you are a beautiful person that deserves the best Love.
