Am I a rebound? or does he like me?

[Anonymous]

So I started dating this guy last month. He was in a 10 year long distance relationship and broke up 4 months ago because the distance was too much. This man treats me so well. He acts like he’s so In love and asked my ring finger size. He brings me lunch at work and bought me roses. He has made every date special so far. He said that when he first met me he thought about marriage unlike before. He asked my ring finger size and does so many sweet things for me. I can’t tell if he’s so sweet because he likes me a lot or if it’s because I’m a rebound?

Oh yeah, he is love bombing. Asking for your ring finger size and how he thought of marriage when we first saw each should've indicated that "this man is nuts." You didn't give full context to support whether or not he may be using you as a rebound, though. Why did they break up? You said it because it was too much? Why didn't they figure that out in year 2? Why wait ten whole years? Seems to be something within the lines. Please give the full context. This isn't enough information.

Him and his ex broke up because the distance was too much for them. He said they basically ended up growing apart from one another.

But at ten years? That seems strange. You aren't asking this man enough questions. I would say you are a rebound, but then, yet again, a rebound only works to get back at the other person. If he and his ex didn't cheat on each other, why would he try to find a rebound? Strange...

Beware of the love bombing, because this has that written all over it. Doesn’t it raise a red flag in your mind that this man was in a TEN YEAR relationship, and within a month he’s talking about marriage and love with you? Some people don’t even soft launch their their relationship for the first month let alone do all that. I’m not saying you’re a rebound, but you should either dial it back or drop him entirely, the switch up will hurt like a bitch when it happens, because this is in-genuine.

I don't think he would be that nice if you were a rebound. 10 years of long distance? That's pretty weird.

[In_Trance]

after 10 years he decides it's too much?

[Asker]

He also told me they grew apart from each other
