<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I recently ended a six-month relationship due to his [20M] infidelity. Shortly after, I was asked out by a guy at my place of work but turned him down because my ex and I were dragging out the break-up process. About a week later, I see this guy again. He was very friendly and seemed like a nice guy, so I asked if he was still interested in exchanging information. He said yes, and asked if he could take me out Friday. I agreed.

It's been three days since I gave him my number, and he's been texting me non-stop. I entertained the texts the first day, we have a lot in common, but after a few days it's become kind of annoying. We hardly know each other, there's no reason to be messaging me this much so soon.

We haven't even gone out once yet, and he's already inviting me to events that are weeks away. He also offers to bring me coffee at work. I JUST stopped seeing someone and was just looking to date around casually, explore my options and not jump into anything right away, but he seems to be aggressivly pursuing a relationship before he even knows me.

I don't know what to do! He's very sweet and earnest, and I'd feel bad rejecting him, especially after I initiated the exchanging of numbers. But this is not what I want to be getting myself into right now. I'm starting school, working a new job and recently had my heart broken. He seems to be going into this FIRST date thinking it's automatically the start of a relationship, where as I was interested in going out with new people and if there is relationship potential, then discover it at a healthy pace. The level of attention he is giving me is freaking me out.
<bot>: Asked a guy if he wanted to exchange numbers and accepted his following date invitation, now he has become really clingy before we've even gone out.
