I have a date tonight....

[Happylander]

I have a date tonight with someone I know through work. Not sure if it is too soon after splitting from ex in October. How long have other people waited and when do you know it isn't a rebound thing?

I like him and he seems keen and is really sweet and we have been texting lots and I am really excited but worried it may be too soon.

EEeeek!

Just go with it happy from one happy to another
Take it slowly and who knows... It might be nice to get out of the house if nothing else. I tried waaay too soon and it didn't work out but I'm glad I did iyswim
Good luck

You have the advantage if you know him from work he'll already know your situation and if he's keen then that's a good sign surely!

Oh I know it is only one date. I think it is because one of my friends said it was too soon to date when I was speaking about him before he had even asked me out so it has me thinking LOL.

Oh if it goes well it will be taken slowly. Very easy to take it slowly when I hardly get any nights off and I have a small child

Ooh how exciting! what are you going to wear and where are you going?

Possibly or over cautious and doesn't want me to get hurt. She has been single for 4 years now.

We are going out to dinner and then to see a film so quite chilled I think. I just thought jeans and a top as I don't really have many clothes. he sees me in scrubs at work and has been round my house for a cuppa before in between jobs and has seen me looking scruffy in trackies and hoodie so anything is going to look better than those outfits LOL

How did it go?!
I think if you take things slowly it's not too soon. But try to keep it lowkey at first, and see it as testing the water!

It went really well and I had a great time. however, he stills shares a house with a woman he had a fling with so I am a bit unsure about that so not sure if I am going to see him again. My ex left me for someone else so very wary

Hi happy,I speperated from my abusive ex at the end of October and I started a relationship with a gorgeous guy in January!!! I've worked with him for 10 years so already know him really well.

He currently lives with his ex wife (divorce going through at moment) as he pays their mortgage and most of the bills so is unable to move out financially. I feel really uncomfortable with this, he assures me they sleep separately but still uneasy.

I don't think there is a 'right time' to move on,if it's meant to be and all that.

Good luck!!!!

Thank you. He called me yesterday and was really apologetic for his situation and says he has sorted it out now and can see how it might look to outsiders but assured me nothing was going on. I checked with one of the women he works with as well as she assured me it was not what it looked like.

I had such a lovely evening that I would at least like to see him again and see where it goes. It either works out or it doesn't.

Hope yours works out well for you nurseneedshelp
