.... he has some stuff to clear up with his ex (exchange belongings and some money she owes him) and wants to clear that up before starting something new. He said he likes me and they will not be getting back together and sees potential with me.....

That you are a potential rebound.

We actually both just got out of relationships. We've already hooked up. If it was just a rebound he wanted I feel like he would have told me thanks but no thanks?

 

We had talked about how it was difficult to start something new because we still had some hurt from our last relationships. I guess I will wait and see what the next few weeks hold.

You should rather be asking yourself whether someone who monkey grips from one relationship to the next is likely to be learning anything with each failure.

You have just laid out the best reasons to NOT hook-up with someone before all that "stuff has to be cleared up."

Sounds like rebounds to me you're both hurting over your ex's while being intimate he says he see's potential in you but doesnt want to start anything so hes not emotionally available when he is available chances are he will open his heart to a girl he will court and fall for naturally not for his partner in bed he slept with to get over his breakup.

Lol it's not like hes going to say "Oh I want a rebound relationship please, thanks".

 

 

...That's just what it is.

 

 

Honestly doesn't sound like there is any relationship potential, you both are fresh out of relationships and hooked up already. Just write it off as a FWB

You're probably all right.... oh well. Live and learn!

 

Thanks for the honest replies. Kind of what I was also thinking....

I am almost 3 years into my relationship and my boyfriend's ex is still (slightly) in the picture and it's beyond annoying. I love my BF, but if anything happens with us and we break up I will never get involved with someone who has unfinished business with a long-term ex. Kids are one thing, but if there are no kids involved, believe him that there is unfinished business with his ex and run like the wind.
