Hooking up with someone once, twice, or very sporadically doesn’t have anywhere near the profound effect as hooking up with said person frequently.
When you are frequently hooking up with someone, it makes it that much harder for you to develop an emotional bond and physical attraction for the others that you are looking to date.
On the surface, hooking up with this guy seems to make sense.
Since you aren’t in a committed relationship and still have sexual needs, you get to use this guy to satisfy those sexual needs while you go about dating other guys in the quest to find a potential long-term partner.
Someone who is still getting over their ex isn’t fully emotionally available to you.
This means that the more you date him and become emotionally attached, the more susceptible you are to getting hurt.
No matter how into it he seems to be whenever he is talking to you or taking you out on dates, there remains a part of him that is emotionally compromised.
Although he believes he is over his ex and tries to reassure you of this, you can’t ignore the telling signs that he isn’t.
