He's making me want to...

throw caution into the wind and take a chance on him. What am I getting into...? Tonight, for the first time I laid my honest feelings out and had an open discussion with the guy that I've been talking to for two months now. No games, no arguing, no suggested mind reading or guessing. We had an honest heart to heart despite him needing to wake up early.He knew I was upset and was willing to stay up and listen because it bothered me. We had a calm and rational discussion for the last 4 hours. I told him how I felt openly and he listened and responded. His explanation for yesterday was fair. He said he still intended on meeting with me and waited around. I turned him down to meet up because I wasn't in the mood anymore and I know it hurt him.I needed to think about why I was so upset and I realized that I was feeling like an afterthought. Though it may have not been the case, it's how I felt and I expressed that to him and that I've spent enough time in my romantic life being some guy's afterthought. He assured me that it wasn't the case and provided evidence of such. The scary part is, I believe him. The scarier part about this is he is seeing me as I am. He pointed out how easily I dismiss things as a defense mechanism and he noted that I am more sensitive that I let on. We had a productive discussion. I don't know what's going to happen between us but it will be two months this Sun and I am feeling like despite the challenges that lay ahead for us, I still see him as being worth the try. Even more, I'm completely myself with him. He's seen my crazy, irrational, emotional,bad side, my sensitive and vulnerable side and my good and fiesty side. I can't believe I let myself be so open with him. I never do that. After we calmly discussed the hard part, he said "I still want you" (not sexually) and I told him I am not going anywhere, yet. I pointed out that nothing is easy and we both know this. I even told him that my guard is somewhat back up and he'll have to work his way back in there. He said ok. We talked about our formal date. I'm actually reading up on how other women deal with these situations. I feel like I don't know what the hell is going on anymore.. Part of me is a little sad about the possibilities and the other part of me thinks this can actually work out between us.... what the fuck am I doing?
