<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

Fellow redditors, I am looking for advice that hopefully will make me see things clearer.

Long story short, me and my ex tried dating twice. Once in 2011 for 7 months, ended with a bang and then again in 2012 for 6 months, ended with a even bigger bang and both times it was me that kind of screwed up. 

However he is an amazing person. I always kind of missed him and we always had so much fun together, laughing all the time and just got on so so well. Now after not speaking or seeing each other for almost 2 years, we went on a date yesterday to talk things over. He apologized for the way things ended back in 2012 and so did I. He said he is glad that we talk again. The date was a lot of fun and we got on so well, like the stupid shit we put each other through never happened. 

Now, we said we will go out again and spend more time together again. I really want him in my life but Im not sure whether as a friend or a boyfriend. I have this feeling that we don't work as a couple even though we are such a good match. Same mind-set, same morals, same plans for the future, same sense of humor, same priorities. 

Should I just wait to see how things go? Should I tell him that I want us to be friends for now and have some fun together? I may be over thinking it. The absolutely last thing I want, is to hurt him again. I want to be fair and open.
