Is it rebound???
Tue, 10-05-2004 - 9:17am
The only concern I have with the guy I am dating is.....he is 28 and only had ONE long term relationship which ONLY lasted 6 months. HE does not have commitment issues......he is just shy and overall put MORE effort in establishing his life and career and school BEFORE dating. SO, he essentially has not dated much. This past GF was his first everything...first in bed...first LT girlfriend, etc. He does not talk about her much but he is also a bit introverted so his feelings are not out in the open either (even though he does communicate well). I worry that because he HAS expressed that she broke his heart....and after their relationship he has anxiety issues....he now takes paxil for this. That is fine with me.....but it has been 9 months since they broke up.....they DID talk about marriage early on.....he now talks about marriage with me. We have only dated 4 months. We have a nice relationship but I worry I am his rebound. I feel a part of him is still hurt about this. It's nice to hear that he WANTS to spend his life with me.....but does he REALLY know....and how can he?
