Navigating Dating When He's Not Over His Ex: A Reality Check
The Situation
"He said he's not over his ex but wants to date me anyway"
The Brutal Truth
He's emotionally unavailable and still hung up on someone else. Wanting to date you while still mourning his ex shows he’s not ready to invest in you. You deserve better than being a rebound or an emotional placeholder.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might chase after his affection, convincing themselves they can "fix" him or somehow prove they're better than his ex. This is dangerous because it compromises your self-worth, pushing you to settle for less than you deserve.
💭 Something to Reflect On
What does your gut tell you about his ability to commit right now, and how does that impact your worth?
