I agree with this- it depends on the circumstances but if he is being overly pushy this is not respectful. Don't mistake persistence as necessarily good.
It could be that he just doesn't want to take no for an answer and that he sees you as a challenge, especially since he knows about your trust issues.
You know him so you have to be the judge of this. If you have doubts I would find someone else.

I think he's trying to show you that you can trust him not to leave if the going gets rough. Basically trying to prove his worth to you. If you like him, then give him a chance. The anon poster does make a good point though. If he doesn't respect your wishes, then he's not good BF material. Still, it all depends on how and why you're pushing him away.

hi
are the trust issues with HIM as a person for some reason or is it just you? unless you have reason to mistrust him, i say go for it. he has been asking you for a year without giving up. i think that least entitles him to a chance :) and why not, if you like him?
