Need advice

[Bahumbug11]

I had a fling with a guy a year ago. I ended it as I couldn’t see it going anyway. Fun, nice guy, but I want to find someone to settle down with.

We stayed in touch as we got on and admittedly did hook up a few times when both single. However we both ended up with partners and were happy.

Until I got dumped by bf 6 weeks ago as it really wasn’t working, not that upset as it was coming for a few weeks and he was braver than me. and then last week he dumped his gf as her behaviour was very erratic.

Since I was newly single I have had flirty texts from him. Our contact had increased massively via text and going On Walks. He was supporting me, but I wasn’t that upset. He said he wished his gf was like me and he missed us. Turn dumped her. He trstef positive for covid so now isolating. So I drove the 30 mins to his to drop off food. He saying when he is out he can’t wait to see me.

We seemed to have dropped into a pattern of going out, without the intimacy. I do like him, and the reason why I ended has changed. But 1 week single is not the right time to ask this question.

What do I do? Stay friends, make a move in a few weeks or avoid.

He is a nice guy and we get on so well, sex amazing.

Why don't you let him take the lead when he is out of isolation? If you jump in saying things, you'll never know what his intentions were. Give him space to show you if he's interested in a relationship. Make up your mind if you want casual hook ups or more. Then stick to it so you don't give mixed messages.

Did he meet you and send flirty texts prior to dumping his gf?

I don’t see the problem here! Take it slow and see what happens 🤷‍♀️ He seems to like you and you seem to like him and you get on well... good basis for a potential relationship I’d say!

Yeah the messages happened before he dumped her. I stopped it. No excuses but he was drunk. I was unsure if he was trying to gauge my interest first.

Yeah that's what I thought, he finds out your single, messages to test the water then you say you're single and chat etc and he dumps her for 'erratic behaviour'. Doesn't sound great. I'd be pretty erratic as well If my boyfriend was drunk texting his newly single ex.

Guess it's up to you. If you believe you're destined to be together and that's why he dumped her then go ahead.
I'd be cautious that he's quite happy to do something like that.
Will he find another person after you?

Who knows. She was odd and didn’t tell anyone she had a covid test amd was not isolating. Been round him and his kids. They all tested positive. Think that what ended it.
