It's not your fault that someone in the past hurt this person. You could be careful about somethings that make them feel anxious and worried because they might have lost their trust in people. It's not your fault. But just be yourself, make sure that they know you won't cheat or disrespect them and also set some boundaries if you feel like they pressure you to much because of their worries. The key here is communication and compromise.

It can be hard dating someone who has experienced something as difficult as cheating. They may feel extra jealous at times, or as though you may pack up and leave for someone "better". If you haven't done so already talking to them and giving reassurance may be something to try. Asking them what they think can help the both of you is a good way to go as well. They may find it easier to talk about if you start the conversation first. Good luck. :)

Try to be sensitive to their experience and be a loyal and faithful person. Sometimes a person who's been cheated on may need a little extra love and care, If you are able to provide that for them you should.

If you're dating someone who has been cheated on before you should make sure that this person can trust you. you need to protect them from getting scared or nervous that you might do the same. Be extra loving and careful with them... and don't cheat on them and avoid lying to them.

Dating someone who has been cheated on in the past may mean that they find it hard to trust. Take time giving that love and respect so they can open up and trust once more. Telling them once and a while how much you love them or how much they mean to you can be very reassuring.

You should continue this relationship grow slowly - you don't want to make this person hurt even more than he or she is right now.

Show them that you would never do that to them, that they're never going to have to go through that again and reminding them how much you love and care for them.

I got 2 words for you. Transparency and tolerance.
Sacrifice a bit of your privacy like by disclosing your phone password or being at ease of she/he is using your phone and by intentionally giving her an opportunity​ to check your phone. He or she will trust you more which is a good start.
Be prepared to be speculated and be okay with his or her questions.

Listen to how that experience affected them. Just listen. Then I try to assure them that I would never intentionally hurt someone else

Make them be sure that you are not like the people he/she has dated in the past, that you are kind and supportive and that you are very trustworthy. Make him/her feel special and loved.
