Search Results: rebound boyfriend

So for a month now I've been sort of dating this guy. He's everything I've ever wanted in a boyfriend and eventual husband but he apparently isn't ready for a relationship or "the next step" (until he "gets his shit together") Which is fine, its only been a month & I'm not the one to rush anyone into anything they're not ready for. However, he spends literally every single day with me at my place. He won't even go to his friends house unless I go. Any of his friends. Like if I tell him to go ahead & go to his friends cause I'm just gonna hangout at home or something, he will cancel his plans with his friends & stay home with me. He even ignored one guy for like a week until we went over last night. So what does this mean? My friends tell me he loves me but he's scared to say it yet because he was in a 7 year relationship that ended like 6 months before we got together. And I was VERY adamant about not being his rebound which he then double assured me I wasn't. He has went out on dates before me but still I'm so confused & wondering how long I'm going to have to wait for him to make us official. We've met each others families on the holidays & everything. Everyone assumes we are boyfriend & girlfriend but I guess we aren't. He's pretty clingy & he told me he was afraid I'd break up with him if he did or said something dumb (I'm guessing this has happened before) Any advice is welcomed & I'm thinking we need some time apart. Please help me thank you!
