I Am A Rebound
I started seeing this wonderful guy about a month ago, when i first met him he had just been dumped by his girlfriend of six years. He had been single for a month when i met him, and was clearly still hurting. I was chatting away to him in the pub, i had seen him before and have always thought he was really attractive. That very night i left to go to a club and said bye to him, hinting for him to come along later as well. He shook his head and told me he wasn't going to go. As i stood outside the club chatting to some friends, a taxi pulled up with him in it! He walked straight up to me and told me he couldn't stop thinking about me then kissed me. It was amazing, but we ended up sleeping together on the first night.
A week had passed and i was seeing a lot of him, we were sleeping together a lot and he was constantly complimenting me. I knew i had to be careful. He then said he was going away to a festival for the weekend, but his ex was also going and hanging out with them. In my head i was terrified he'd come back and tell me they were back together. He has a kid with her and was planning on proposing before she dumped him.
He came back still single and telling me that she was with another guy in the very next tent, he was clearly upset about this. For the first two weeks i was being his friend more than anything, i understood he was hurting and i wanted to help him. He kept publicly holding my hand and kissing me in our local pub which i wasn't comfortable with, i felt like he was showing me off. I told him i wasn't comfortable and he did back off. Then every night he would text me wanting to be with me, it was really intense and i couldn't imagine what he done in his spare time before he had a partner. One night whilst we were lying in bed, he said "I'm in like with you... the stage before i fall in love with you" it was cute but my belly flipped, its too fast.
A month later, i'm now friends with his sister & husband, and really get on with their 11 year old son. My mum loves him to bits and they get on well. It has went really fast for a month but he is adamant he doesn't want to rush things and we have agreed to still keep seeing each other but take our time. In conversations he hints at doing things in the future like going on holiday etc. I have backed off from him in fear of being a rebound, but the fact he wants to take it slow makes me think it could work and that he does want to make something out of this. I have brought it up in conversation before, the fact i don't want to get hurt or be a rebound. Only time can really tell i suppose but i'm unsure on what to do. We are taking it slow in terms of not calling each other girlfriend and boyfriend, But the fact we're both friends with each others families, sleep together and spend time together means it is quite fast.
I want to end this to save myself being crushed later on but at the same time, how do i tell if it is genuine??
