only you knwo who you feel, no-one else can tell you that! if you feel it's too soon don't take it furtha as it will probably only be a rebound... if you feel it won't be then good luck!

TALK TO HIM?

why not just take it slow at first? i know from past experience that after a break up its better to have a couple of weeks to get used to being single again. u cld use the time to get to know the guy better as a friend and see how things go from there. good luck! :smile:

Heehee I thought this was about something completely different :biggrin: ah so immature.

Anyway.. Maybe develop your friendship with this guy before going further? It seems kinda like a rebound thing because 3 years is ages and i'm assuming you were totally in love to be together that long, so you might take ages to get over him? But then again, if the break up was coming for a while and you already really fancied this guy then maybe not. Only you can know.

I think if you're having doubts there's no harm in waiting a while. It will save people getting hurt (in particular your ex) and help you clarify your feelings. Don't rush into anything.
