obviously, this guy is into you. and since he already met your kid and he didn't bail out, that's a good start. what you need to know is if he's really in for a relationship; a monogamous, healthy and fun relationship. aside from these sweet gestures and gentle man moves he's portraying, have you already known him?
before you get into deep ask him questions. there are things you should know before embarking on a whole new level of dating.
1. what are his short term goals?
at least man lang malaman mo kung anong plano nya sa buhay at kung pasok ba sya sa mga plano mo.
2. what are his long-term goals?
anong plano nya sa hinaharap?kasali ka ba at ang anak mo sa plano na yun?
3. what are his views on relationships?
you really need to ask him about this, especially that you are a single mom. may instant baby kayo. how will he cope with circumstances when your attention is not with him? is he up for being the substitute baby daddy? is it okay with him that not all your dates will be a date and will be a 'field trip' instead? ask him these things. trust me, you would know kung seryoso sya.
4. what does he think about you?
this question will give you answers of how he sees you beyond your physical self. kung importante ka para sa lalake, he would know and he would observe kung anong klaseng pagkatao meron ka.
5. what does he feel about you?
now this is a tricky question. listen carefully of his answers. he must at least be able to tell you a tidbit of his emotions about you. kapag di nakasagot agad, okay lang yan. normal sa lalake yan. hindi lahat ng lalake ma-emosyon. so let him take his time.
dapat masagot nya lahat yan sis. hindi yan pag-dedemand. that's one way of knowing the guy better.
a man would do anything to get the woman he wants regardless of what he really feels for her. so look beyong the sweet nothings. sure we appreciate it but what's his purpose? good luck sis. sana nga sya na ang para sayo.
