Be yourself. Talking from experience, all they want from you is trust more than attention, loyalty more than anything. They have been cheated on, but, so have their feelings. You need to carefully thread those feelings weaving them into the utmost affection and love that you can ever give them. They need it, they want it, they are lacking it.
Respect them. Don't judge them because they've been judged enough. Do NOT break their self-esteem, they've been stepped on for it many times earlier. And just be yourself, your complete honest self. :)

Show them they can trust you. Don't get angry with them if they get paranoid. It's hard for them as well. They want to trust you but they also trusted the one who cheated on them so they're scared.

Don't be secretive about who you meet and hang out with, and ask them to come along. Be patient with them as they might get jealous and insecure. Do not, however, accept abusive behaviour!

What you should do if someone cheated on you is to calmly talk to them about it. And ask to make sure and if so end the relationship.

Assure them you won't cheat on them by gaining their trust. The rest is up to them -- trusting and having faith in you.

Do what you can to assure them that you are not the person who cheated on them. Do your best to make them feel secure and wanted, and be sure to be open and honest with them about how you feel.

First of all, you should not treat him differently from the other people you dated. Yes, being cheated on is a hurtful experience but it does not give one more "rights" or special treatment. Just be genuine and open with your date. Listen to them, try to understand their emotions, empathise and care just like you would do in a normal relationship. Remember, that you are not guilty of anything and that your partners past does not give him a right to be less trustful or suspicious of you. Just agree on always talking openly about your feelings and be honest with your partner.

Make them feel safe with you as good as you can. And keep in mind that building up trust can take some time! Try to show them and make them understand that you wouldn't cheat on them. Good luck!

Be open minded, understanding, and a good listener. They are a fragile heart that may have trouble opening up entirely. The fact that they are dating you shows how much they truly trust you with their fragile feelings. Take your role in the relationship as an important one and help them to know you are trustworthy and never want them to hurt as they did in the past.
