  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.

  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 💜

  I had one of those. The Ex was knocked up.

    Yeah hmmm :(

  If you mean rebound… naww

  5 months is okay.

  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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 🙂

  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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
