i recently got out of a relationship where i believe i was just a rebound fling that went a bit further than he planned... i have now met a guy who i have been on a few dates with etc but am kinda scared to let him get too close as i dont want to get hurt again... how do i explain this to him without him thinking i am not over my ex??
in those terms you can't as i sounds like to are not over your ex. either re-think your speech or just tell them straigh - no serious relationships please, easier in the short and long run!
