Not really sure how I should feel...

So I met this guy on a gay dating app a couple weeks ago. We had a short awkward conversation at first, and then he messaged me again a couple days later, exchanged numbers, and have been talking ever since. We have multiple mutual friends, and he is very sweet, handsome, and just overall a great guy. I visited him at his job, I could tell he was very nervous and shy, which I found quite adorable tbh. He visited me at my work yesterday. And now we are set to go on an actual date tomorrow.

This is all great and everything, however I have some concerns. First one being, I had just asked him for his Tumblr so I can follow him. Upon looking him up I saw that he posts a lot of raunchy pictures of him in his underwear and whatnot... don't get me wrong it's sexy and everything but he has like 200 followers and has all these guys messaging him...

That combined with the fact that he's very active on that gay dating app. I literally had made my account the same day he messaged me, and then I deleted it yesterday cuz A) I don't use it and B) I don't need it if I've already met someone.

Maybe I'm being paranoid. Maybe I'm overthinking things. Yeah I understand we aren't dating yet so what he posts on Tumblr is really none of my concern, but I mean...

I just don't know how to feel at the moment. He truly is a great guy and even though we've only talked in person a total of 2 times, I can feel myself gaining a lot of feelings for him already which has NEVER happened before with anyone else.

Do I have the right to be feeling, erm, concerned? I don't know. I'm just a bit discouraged at the moment for some reason, I'm not even sure why. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your response, Undertow!

You are very right when you suggest that I'm nervous/anxious... I've never had a "true" relationship before, so this experience is all very foreign to me, honestly. I've had my little flings with people, but I've never wanted a relationship with someone this bad before so my emotions are probably running a little haywire.

You're right when you say he might just be more outgoing on the internet. I never really thought about it that way I guess. Maybe I'm looking at it in a close-minded point of view, simply because I would never post pictures like that of myself online. I'm sure he enjoys the attention he gets from them, I know I probably would, but maybe all that attention is what's got me concerned? I'm not sure.

The fact right now is that I really, really like this guy. And he really, really likes me. I mean, he lives very far from where I work, and he came in right as our store opened yesterday just to say hello and bring me breakfast. He says he did it because he "couldn't wait until Friday to see me so he had to come in and visit today". He's very sweet and I think he genuinely likes me just as much as I like him.

I'll see how tomorrow goes, and give everybody an update afterwards!
