The person I'm dating says they're not over their ex, what should I do?

The other day I was catching up with a friend and she said: I've been casually dating someone for 3 months. We've never put any labels like exclusivity on anything up to this point but now, I'm getting to the point where I'm developing an emotional connection.

\n

I asked him if he would want to more seriously date. He says he's been having a great time with me but is not ready to seriously date. He says he's still not over his ex. They dated for a couple years so I get that it still weighs on him. For context, it's been 6 months since they broke up.

\n

He's openly told me\u200a-\u200ado whatever you need to do. Cut me off if you need to or if you want to continue to casually see other, we can as well.

\n

He says he is trying to figure things out, and should things get better mentally, he'd be down to try and be in a serious relationship. He's just open about not being sure if that'll actually happen anytime soon.

\n

I'm not sure what to do. How should I handle this?

\n

In this vlog, I answer that question.
