Well your relationship past is pretty rocky, plus still facing effect of that relationship today that's why i think you should take things slow. I think it's great you dating again and want to move forward with you relationahip with this new girl. But i do think that taking things slow is a must espically if you've come out of an abusive realationship you need time to really heal, you don't wanna rush and have old feeling or old memories come up and ruin your relationship.
Plus your young you don't need to define your relationship you could just enjoy being together... and in time you'll know when your ready to take the next step and you won't need to ask what to do.
Good luck
