May be on the verge of something-ish. I split with DD's dad a year ago but we're still a bit too familiar with each other (that's not what this is about) but I want to move on and he needs to either commit fully to the woman he dumped me for or move on.

I've known someone for a while and we get on brilliantly. We had an unplanned clinch after a night out recently and have both agreed that we'd like some more of that.

He's single having split up with live in partner in the last few months. A familiar enough with situation to know that neither was happy for ages and it was about when rather than if they'd split. Split is amicable, btw.

I'm not sure either of us wants a relationship with the other. I'm not looking for FWB. I've learned enough from MN to know that what flags to look for too, I hope, but I know nothing about the possible dangers of rebounds. Can you advise please?

Sorry if this sounds dry and not full of excitement and/or passion but I'm wary.

Don't overthink this! You have met a nice man who wants to take things further. He sounds attractive and should give you a boost and maybe some good sex so what is stopping you going further?

I was there a year of so ago. The New Man was so kind and we had such a lot of fun together that he is now my DP. But initially it was just about having a healing experience with no plans or agenda. And we kept our kids out of it for a long time.

Good luck and have fun! And if it isn't working just end it

If anything it will be a good opportunity to ditch the cheating ex once and for all. Be prepared for him not to like it though shame!

Thank you all. You're right, of course. Over thinking.

And yes, removing cheating shitbag ex from life (aside from his relationship with our DD) would be great outcome even if goes nowhere else. Smile

I had one after I split from my exw. Fantastic.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Gorgeous looking girl, great in bed....lots of very pleasant evenings indeed. Lasted 2 years and I have to say 2 of the best years of my life relationship wise!!

Go for it...
