I recently bumped into a friend I haven't see for 7-8 years. We hit it off pretty well and we went out on 5-6 dates. I soon found out she broke up with her ex a month ago before she met me.

How do I know if I'm not just filling a void after her break up?

How do I know if her feelings for me are real? Should I even pursue further?
Anyone with rebound stories?

Thanks!

dude, i personally think that the whole concept of rebound is bs. i mean come on if she likes u she likes u. if she doesnt she doesnt, doesnt really matter whether shes been in a relationship or not recently. i mean come on, if you have good enough game then you should be able to get her even if she just broke up. sure she might still have some weird feelings for her ex that will be another obstacle for you, but you know as well as anyone that when you have feelings for someone you forget about everything else. if you have the game to generate those feelings, then her ex won't be an issue.

ps - if she brings up her ex, dont get jealous or let it get to you. remember that your in control now, so act like it.

But when ppl are on the rebound, they're more vulnerable and will take what ever they can get to fill that void. I just don't start a relationship on false pretenses.

from the tone of your posts it sounds like theres a lot of resistance on her side..is she still talking about her ex a lot? does she still see her ex and/or hook up with him? what has she done or how has she acted specifically to make you see her as vulnerable? can you please give some more info?

i'm going to sound like an ass, but try for the relationship but know you can walk away at anytime, use it as an excuse to fclose and roll out if needed
