Dating : Red flags or do I have trust issues?

Hi all,

I’ve broke up with my ex about a year ago after she cheated on me and for the last month I’ve been dating a girl I met on Tinder. We met for drinks and had great chemistry. We ended up sleeping together after 3 dates. She’s been quite open with me about a lot of things and we share a lot of the same values and hobbies. In short, things have been going great over the last month. I met her good friend (another female) a week ago and that went very well.

She’s been very open about her past. She hasn’t been in a long term relationship; the longest being a year. She has had several short term relationships and says that all have cheated or lied to her in some way. Her parents also do not have a good relationship and she had a rough upbringing; things seem ok now. I recently learned that she was raped four years ago or at the very least woke up with someone she did not know. On two of these occasions she teared up while telling me the story. In short, I am noticing a trend of bad relationships and risky behavior. Also maybe one month seems a bit fast to tell these stories about herself but she has nothing to lose by telling me. She has told me that because of these experiences she is not quick to commit to a relationship so we are taking our time in dating.

Otherwise she seems easy going and we have great discussions about various topics. She has a happy demeanor and a positive attitude which throws me off. I did not think I had trust issues from being cheated on but now I am rethinking that because I seem to not trust some of the things she tells me.

EDIT: We are in our late 20s. I should add that we both used to be quite involved in the party/rave scene but we’re both over that scene. Her life seems pretty normal and she has a job at a well known company.
