About a month ago I started dating a girl who is incredible. We clicked like magic and were spending all our free time together. This past week she took me out to meet my friends and vice versa and everything was awesome. Then all of sudden her interest level started dropping and I felt like I was losing her. At a party that night a guy was hitting on her and I skilfully cockblocked him (bro'd up to him, so to speak) and let it slip 30 minutes later that she was my girlfriend. She got upset with me later that night about using that label.

Turned out that 2 days ago she got a call from her ex boyfriend. He live about 12 hours away and they broke up a few months ago.... but it was a 3 year relationship. She tells me (truthfully) that she is really emotionally f-ed up and doesn't think she can do a relationship. I tell her I understand, give her a like you pep talk and tell her maybe it'll work out down the road... then I leave.

I am the rebound guy, but I think we're pretty perfect for each other. Interests, taste, friends, background, sex, all great. I know she told me the truth about her being confused, all the more so because she likes me a lot but didn't expect anything to happen this soon. Can I salvage this? My plan is to not talk to her for the next 2 weeks and then feel her out. Is this a good plan? Is this wishful thinking? 3 years is a long time in a relationship, I'm afraid of pulling an AFC move.

I could use some advice from the experts.

were spending all our free time together.

This is why her IL dropped and things started going downhill. There was no challenge, excitement, things got stale...in turn, she got bored. She was not emotionally fed-up, or confused, she was BORED.

Don't talk to her at all, move on and find someone else to spend your time with. If she comes looking for you, act distant and uninterested. This will at the very least make you more appealing because you're no longer the sappy, clingy guy she knew before.

So does it matter if she was calling me to hang out? I always assumed that sappy clingy-ness was when the dude always called her... I figured if she was calling me to come by and have sex that was okay.

That is perfectly o.k., but you didn't mention the fact that SHE was contacting YOU for bootie calls.

Either way, spending all your free time with a girl will eventually make the IL to go down.
