maynicholas Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 So I've been seeing this guy for a few weeks and it's been great. We don't see each other often (once a week) but keep in contact through email, text, or the occational phone call. I am really enjoying the time we spend together. I am also enjoying the fact that we are so honest with each other. I got out of an 11 year relationship 5 months ago and this is my first time out the gate since then, I am not holding back in saying anything to this guy. We have known each other for a while since he is my BF's hubby's BF- but I feel like I have nothing to lose here. I say things that I would never imagine disclosing to someone I've only been dating for such a short time (exactly how I'm feeling, what I'm looking for, my fears, and just about anything that goes through my head). What is strange is that it doesn't scare him off, and that scares me. I feel myself growing closer to him. I am not ready for this. I want it, but I'm scared. What can I do to emotionally steel myself from falling for him? I like him and I know he likes me, but how do I know if this is a rebound for me, or if I really care? I told him that rebounds never work and that is why I feel like I have nothing to lose in telling him exactly how I'm feeling. He is very straight forward with me too. I don't want to fall for him because I'm not ready to get hurt again. Help me calm my nerves...
carrotgirl Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Nerves be calm. May, only exes and jealous people call a good relationship a rebound relationship while you're seeing your new romantic interest. You'll call it a rebound relationship only if it doesn't work out. If it works out you're just going to call it what it is.... a relationship. Sounds like you're having a good time. Go with it. Carrot
