Relationship Question

I was with my girlfriend for 4 years, however we split for alot of reasons. I went out on a date last night with this lovely girl. I am however scared because i dont want her to feel that i am just going out with her as a rebound thing, if she asks i wouldnt know what to say, as i dont know myself. I guess i have trust issues. Anyone got any advice for me?

P.S Me and my ex have a baby son together and have joint custody. This is going to scare women away from me aswell? Or will it not?
Well ideally you don't want to be rushing straight into another relationship after you break up from a long term one, obviously people get over it quicker than others. A lot of girls will probably run a mile especially younger one's as they won't want a guy with a lot of baggage i.e. Kids. But not all of them are like that.
