past love vs. me

[Taddeo]

ive been talking to a friend of mine and weve met but only for a second. and weve gotten to know each other pretty well over the net. and im away from home right now and i fly back saturday and we both wanted to meet eachother and possibly start dating if things kicked off, but we were talking like usually and she mentioned her last boyfreind and how she loved him, and how she still loves him but wished she didnt. well this wouldnt be such a big deal to me if it wasnt 'love'. and i asked if she was sure it was love, and shes positive. well how am i sopposed to take this?

dude i would personaly see her and take her out and if everything goes well then just stay friends for the time being and if she wants you she will stay with you and forget about her last bf. so just see how it goes and have passients

"Love" is overused. I put very little faith into the word, as people tend to throw it around so casually.

My thought on the matter is to continue to be friends, to cultivate the relationship and to see how it develops over time. I would not get at all serious until you have a long track record with her in the here and now and not over the internet. I also suggest that you keep the blossoming relationship from heating up until she comes to terms with her feelings for the past boyfriend.

I'd be her friend for a while. Otherwise you take a great risk at being her rebound. Be there for her, as a friend, don't put any pressure on her for a relationship or dating. And when she is ready, then take her out on a date. Nothing ruins a friendship better than breaking a rebound relationship. And do you want to be the Mr. Right Now (who will do to help me to mend my broken heart until I'm ready to move on) or Mr. Right (who I'm ready for, as my heart has been mended thanks to that rebound sucker). Sorry to be harsh, but I'm speaking from my own experience. I had a rebound relationship. And then I moved on to the one I have been in for 3 years. Have my current and I dated before my heart was mended, he and I would not have lasted.
