I've known him for a little bit, and we haven't really been intimate, at first we started as friends becasue I had a boyfriend, we just kissed recently since I am still not over my ex completely. I do I feel like I know him better, he talks about himself and his family, work...

 

whoa. so who is this love of your life? this guy you just met and have barely kissed?

3) have sex with her and keep dating hoping things work out

 

I'm 38.

 

I did have this scenario happen two times...but both times the girl did a quick 180 and flaked on me. In the end they saw me as a rebound guy and thus decided they feel good enough to dump me and move on.

 

It does bug me people do the rebound thing. I can understand being alone, letting wounds heal, etc...but others who want someone after a RL ends, but then thinks this person isn't "ideal" anymore when the wounds seemingly heal.

 

Even worse they then run out for people like their ex who end up hurting them again! Dysfunctional.

yes, I agree. so what would you do now if you were in this situation again?

drop them, talk to them and take a break until they were ready to avoid being their rebound?
