That's so nice to hear, and gives me hope I may find that one day too. I agree with sanmagic7 about going slow. It's important to recognize that you are deserving of someone who loves and cares for you no matter what happened to you in the past, and don't let negative self-talk cause doubts about this guy. However, those of us who struggle with cPTSD have a tendency to struggle with boundaries, and while it's amazing how supportive he was of your brief description, revealing too much this early on may end up making you feel too vulnerable and him too overwhelmed.
I've had similar situations in the past where someone is initially very open-minded and supportive, and I took that as an invitation to let it all spill out. Even the most supportive, kind, and understanding person can get emotionally overwhelmed. I think about how long it took me to come to grips with what happened in my past (and even the time I spent experiencing it and growing up knowing nothing else), and then imagine what it must feel like to hear someone you care about lay it all out at once (or over a relatively short period). Most people have never dealt with it and lack the coping skills to do so.
It sounds like a great start though, and it's awesome that you're taking the time to think through the next step
