Newly dating..
Hello..
I recently started dating this guy. I was three months single from a hurtful break-up and I was ready to date again. We met online in mid-December 2014 and the going has been good ever since. We have gone on numerous dates..and i have been to his place a few times now.
He just asked me out recently and now we are officially dating. However, we haven't had sex yet and he hasn't pressured me to do it. All we do is make out..and stop ourselves from going too far. :-)
He has quite a past. He has been sober for one year now..and he has been off cigarettes for one month now. As a result, he didn't get to focus on school and now, he is completing his degree course,at 27 years old. This makes him a full time student while me, 25 years old and working.
My question..
1. I don't know if his past should have a effect of me and our dating life. I need advice on dating people who have dealt with substance abuse before.I specifically feel scared at the thought of all this affection he has for me being an outlet to his addictions. I'm I over thinking it? How should I bring this up before we go too far?
2. Gift ideas for valentines day.. now that we are newly dating. Two weeks dating.. two and a half months knowing each other.
Thanks..

1. You shouldn't discuss with him your concern because he will think you don't believe in him which can cause more chaos, just have the thought in the back of your head of the possibilities of a relapse and how you can be there for him. Addictions are hard to fight and it doesn't make him a bad person, it just means he haas had a little bit of struggle. Don't hold that against him.
2. Get him something small, maybe a watch, some item that you know he likes but in between the price range of $10-$20
