Is this more than a rebound?
20/f
Last week I ended things with my boyfriend of over a year because niether of us were happy. We've been on and off the past four months and it just got to be too much drama, and I decided it was best to end things before they got SUPER ugly.
Before I ever considered ending things with my bf, I became friends with another guy through work. Between meeting him and now we've gotten to know each other, and he's really nice, super cute, and understanding enough not to try to make a move on me now that I'm newly single.
But for the past 5 days or so we've been flirting through texts CONSTANTLY. to the point of where just hearing my phone buzz with a message makes me giggle or bury my face into my pillow, grinning. I havent forgotten about my ex and I'm not hanging out with this new guy really yet because I want to give myself time. But this doesn't feel like something I'm doing just to get over my ex.. this new guy really makes me happy. My friends are telling me it's a rebound and that I really don't have feelings for him, but I was even flirting with him before I ended things with my ex...
How do I know if my feelings are real? Honestly this is the first time I've felt this happy in a long time..

Well, so what if it is a rebound? You're 20 years old! You're young and you're enjoying your life and all the new experiences it brings. If you are worried about being hurt, then stay away from this new guy. But if it feels fun and you are enjoying yourself, and he is fully aware of your situation, I say don't obsess over it and just see what happens. If you were older I would give you different advice, but I think now is the one time in your life to just go ahead and feel free. Good Luck.

You'll know your feelings are true when you want to talk to him all the time and when you truly happy with him like you said this is the first time in a long time you have felt happy and thats enough to know your feelings for him are real. Don't listen to your friends you know whats best and whats true not your friends so just keep seeing this guy and live your life because it seems like you like him and he likes you and thats all that matters and nobody else should be interfering. Basically just follow your heart. :D
