Think I’m finally falling

So I’ve gone out with this guy a few times. I actually stretched out the time between our last date because I was really unsure about if I liked him. I almost wanted to cancel on him. So we went for a hike and the path came to a dead end but the water and I got nervous. I knew what was gonna happen. He kissed me and then just held me while we looked at the water. He said that he was glad to have met me. I almost wanted to cry because that’s when the feelings hit. Here I was trying to like this guy because I knew he was actually a good guy but I didn’t feel the connection. We hiked a little more and then sat on a rock and just talked until I had to go. He opened the car door for me. I still feel a little cautious. I don’t want things to move to fast and I get hurt. I mean he waited three dates to kiss me so I know that it’s important for there to be feeling. I just feel like he’s gonna want to be official soon. I want that to happen but I still have my guard up
