Im not the one coming w love advice since Im slow

I should probably update my heartbreak thread as I have been meeting someone Ive been romantic with.
I took up an old passion of mine, thats being on the sea. My family has a summer house south coast and I got in contact w some guys for lobster fishing. That guy Ive gotten romantic with is one of them. It took some weeks before something happened. He is not the type I have dated before. He is almost a decade older than me, very manly and loud. A traditional Norwegian and a character in the very small place he is from. Because its a small place and everybody know each other its been easy to know his reputation and he is very kind under his roughness. He has been quite open with me and not holding back, but never tried to touch me or push me into anything.
So, starting as friends can be a good thing and not push something that is not there. My first impression w this guy long time ago was not great,thought he was a troublemaker, womanizer and a badguy. Has a big mouth.
But I have judged him hard, I just have no experience w those kind of men.
Been good we have been friends and feelings develop before going to bed. I think letting your body needs taking over before bonds being created can ruin things that could have been good.
Sex on the second date kind of thing is way too soon imo.
