Am I settling

I was talking to this guy for a year. He came out and told me he was once ashamed of what others would think of me because I’m plus size. He haven’t dated a plus size woman before. I was really hurt. He said he wanted something different because the type of women he used to date wasn’t working for him. I was falling for this man and I could see myself marrying him. He told me afterwards that he really did care for me and wanted to be with me. He said he don’t know why he let something like that make him feel like he would be ashamed or worried about others. He’s very apologetic and wants another chance. Would I be settling if I gave him another chance? I don’t know if I see myself with someone who thought others would look at me different because of my size and was afraid to tell others about me.
