Passage from the text:
“With your leave, Mr.Frodo, I’d say no! This Strider here, he warns and he says take care; and I say yes to that, and let’s begin with him. He comes out of the Wild, and I never heard no good of such folk. He knows something, that’s plain, and more than I like; but it’s no reason why we should let him go leading us out into some dark place far from help, as he puts it.”
Pg #s: 162-163

It is hard to trust people sometimes. Though, I have never been in a situation where I would have to place complete trust in someone right after meeting them. Strider wants to help Frodo so bad... The danger in that though is evident for Frodo.
Trust is a must. I know persons that hold leadership positions and sometimes it is hard to assign others tasks that they know they could do well. It is those moments when a little less control and a bit more faith in others is what the leader needs. Frodo’s situation is a much more dire one; however, I can relate to the difficulty in trusting others.
