<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

10 months out of a horrific 2-year on/off rollercoaster relationship sprinkled with abuse, incl non-consensual sex, degradation, ending in fiery crash with sociopathic ex. This relationship seriously messed me up. I have trust issues with people around me and myself, I doubt my judgement of others and myself... despite having a very good life - I live in London as an expat, work in finance, live very comfortably-  wanting to die; intense loneliness despite always being busy, socialising etc., complete loss of self worth. I felt like a boxer in a losing fight, who got the life pummelled of her and is totally disoriented. I'm just starting to normalise in the past 3 months. 

Last Saturday I meet a guy at a friend's birthday party. He's totally different from guys in London I usually meet. Down to earth, funny, enjoys my embarrassing dance moves. We hit it off. He asks for my number - I panic and freak out and say something like I don't want to give my number in front of my male friends who can be jerks. To make up for it, I ask for his last name to add on Facebook. He says he's glad he's met me, a bunch of other nice stuff, that he'll get in touch and wants to see me again. 

I add him on FB when I get home, send him a very casual message that it was great to meet him. Two days later he replies that it was great to meet me too and he hopes to see me soon. 

I don't know what to respond, if he was actually interested or just being polite, if I should give him my number now? The me from two years ago would've known exactly what to do and would've been so chill about this but I feel like I've lost that internal compass that tells you what to do in these kinds of situations. I would really like to get to know him but have no idea what to do next.
<bot>: Just recovered from abusive relationship, meet cute guy. Have no idea what to do or how to interpret 'dating'-like situations anymore. He said he hopes to see me soon, what do I respond?
