Hi peeps - I need advice. I just got out of a very long-term relationship and wasn't meeting anybody new so I got myself onto this lovely site. I have two dates set up. (yay!)

The problem is that I have been e-mailing all week with the guy that I have the second date with and ... I haven't met him yet, but I have such a crush on him and I am so excited about meeting him and I am having all sorts of romantic fantasies.

Why is this bad? Because if I saw one of my girlfriends acting like this, I would say "slow-down, honey! you are exhibiting classic rebound symptoms..."

Have people been through this before? What's the solution? Allow myself the fantasies? Try to lower my expectations? Set up lots of dates so as not to put all my eggs in one basket?

Marie and welcome ... i'd say just go for it! nothing ventured nothing gained, Your a long time dead as my granny used to say - Have fun

Yeah, Marie, go for it! you never know and it's better than looking back and wondering. Welcome to the site!

I keep looking at this thread and wondering whether to post, but it doesn't hurt to hear the other side of it.

On the one hand, I'd say go for it, I totally agree with what everyone's saying, but I was in your situation once Marie. I know the guys over it now, but i still can't forget how much I hurt him when i realised I wasn't over the other one.

But..... I hope it all works out for you
