Guy has only been single for five months. Will abort mission. I knew it was too good to be true.
For a different perspective: I was 2 months single, and still living with my ex, when I met my now-partner. Together since Jan 2019.
It can work out. Unless you got icks for other reasons, I’d suggest at least a third date to see where his head is at.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! And happy seven years :)
Aw thank you! I’m not saying you should give this guy another chance btw, follow your gut instinct 100% with dating!!
Just that it might not mean anything to him/affecting him negatively :)
I trust you know this dude better than us, so ultimately listen to what your heart is telling you 💜
Thanks Spud <3
I had one of those. The Ex was knocked up.
Yeah hmmm :(
If you mean rebound… naww
5 months is okay.
Yeah I absolutely do not want to be someone to fill his void because he can’t be happy on his own. I couldn’t have imagined dating five months post-breakup, but everyone is different I guess.
Yea go with your gut.
I might be wrong but if he goes on and on about his ex then probably red flag but until then you never know :)
At least he is single…
That’s mortifying 💀
that sounds like one of those unfounded stupid things that you can read on the internet
and something I asked my clinical psych, she said it’s meaningless, people get on with life
if you like the guy that’s what counts, make the effort 🙂
Yes the internet is full of stupid timelines. Maybe I just take a long time to get over things. I couldn’t see myself dating someone five months after a breakup.
I told him about PHM and he wants to see it with me. Hopefully not to fill a void

I don’t think that’s a sign to run for the hills straight away. How long were they together? Do you have any inkling that he’s not over it or you’d just be a rebound? Are you looking for a reason to run?

I don’t know how long they were together. Will have to ask. He has said he wants to travel but doesn’t have anyone to go with, and that he will go on a solo trip when he’s been single for “too long”. I think that’s just me reading into things.
