I (31F) started dating someone (32M) about a month ago. We've hung out maybe 5 times and text everyday. He's super kind and generous, and we want the same things in theory (relationship, kids etc.). We also speak each others' first languages as our second which I really enjoy. The problem is, I'm just not sure I like him enough?

In part I'm worried that it's just because he is being so forward and obvious with his interest in me, which is not something I'm used to. I usually have to chase in relationships. So I don't want to ruin something with potential because of my own weird anxieties. But on the other hand... I don't find him particularly funny and despite him definitely being very intelligent, that doesn't come across in conversations. I find myself not really engaged in many of our conversations.

I have a good enough time when I'm with him, however. And it's not like I don't laugh - he's fun, just not funny. My friends think I should continue dating him and I will develop stronger feelings for him but I'm very wary of leading him on. I will be honest if he asks to DTR and say I'm not ready (and deal with whatever comes from that) but should I continue dating him casually? Will feelings grow? Or am I just wasting both of our time?

I would really love to end up with someone who treats me the way he treats me... but I'm not sure it's him.

EDIT: Well it seems that opinions are pretty divided. So I'm not sure where that leaves me. I think I'll leave the ball in his court for the time being and see how things progress.

Just to add; I am aware that my history of being more attracted to men who aren't so interested is unhealthy/unhelpful. That's part of the reason I'm making this post, not sure why that was unclear to anyone.

And we have had sex. It was fine, but to me most early sex is just fine, regardless of other feelings. It takes me a while to "get into a groove" with someone physically.
