How to avoid being a rebound?

Anonymous

Me and this guy had a thing last year, we got on really well and I liked him. However he got into a relationship and we cut things off due to her not liking us communicating as friends (I understood). They’ve just broken up, and we may meet up for a coffee in around 3 weeks when he moves back… I don’t want to be a rebound as they were serious. But I really like this guy he’s lovely. He apologised for cutting me off and says we had good times
