Some men do a wonderful job of pretending they are totally happy, stable and over their last breakup. They can pretend this just long enough to get another woman to go out with them, but then when they do begin to date, the reality hits them that they aren’t ready. That explains just how and why you end up on dates with men who are still too heartbroken to even be dating—they didn’t know what was good for them. Now let’s look at ways that you can determine a guy is still too fresh from a breakup to date, so you can pick up on them before you get attached to the emotional wreck.

He asks you how to get over a breakup
He thinks asking you about the worst breakup you’ve ever had, and how you got over it, is an appropriate first date conversation. It even seems like he’s taking mental notes based on your tips for surviving heartbreak.

He’s doing a lot of “finding himself”

He’s still her handyman
The thought of his ex living with a leaky faucet for an hour sends him rushing over there to fix it. God forbid she wait for a professional plumber to show up.

He’s a little too sympathetic
If he talks to a man going through a breakup, he becomes so invested in helping him that you’d think he was dealing with his own breakup. This man becomes his project and instant best friend. It’s as if they’re in the same boat. Hmm…

If you like the same drink as her, he freaks
If you like the same drink, same food, or same book as his ex did, he looks as if he’s just seen a ghost and immediately changes the subject.

He’d rather not talk about it
When you ask what happened to his last relationship, he says (and in a rather irritated tone), “Is it okay if we not talk about that?”

But he does want to talk about relationship mistakes
He may not want to talk about the downfall of his most recent relationship, but he would like to talk about the downfall of relationships in general. He loves to discuss all the reasons things do and don’t work out; what can be fixed and what cannot.

He’s unfollowed her on social media
If a friend of his so much as mentions a recent post of the ex, the guy says (with much disdain) “I haven’t seen it. I don’t follow her crap.”

He talks a lot of sh*t about her industry
The guy sure does have a lot to say about pharmacists. Which is weird because he’s a social media strategist.

He holds back on touching, outside of sex
When men aren’t ready to really be with somebody new, they reserve most physical affection for sex. The other stuff, like holding hands, is still stuff they associate with their ex.

He does nice things but he can’t say nice things
Even though he’ll plan dates, pay for things, and help you move your couch, he never outright says what he likes about you. For him, that would be too much of a commitment.

His family is still checking up on him
His family still calls him pretty regularly to see how he’s doing since the breakup…they do not even seem to realize he’s out in the dating world again.

It’s “too soon” to meet his friends, but it’s not…
He insists it’s too soon for you to meet his friends, but you’ve been dating for a couple of months now. Truly, he probably doesn’t think his friends will believe that he’s really invested in this new relationship.
