My childhood friend suddenly wants to meet up?

“Then follow your judgment, go. You’ve lost your mind, but you are holding to love of your loved ones.” ~Antigone
This is your own decision…follow your instinct :)

You can go satisfy your curiosity, and enjoy yourself, yet going to meet him is not a commitment. And it doesn’t mean you are dating or not dating.

You get to set the terms you want if you are interested in seeing him again after you meet up with him. And that continues for as long as you have a relationship with him.

Do you want a quick fling?
Hot sex for a few minutes?
Sweaty hot fun?
Because thats all he wants.
You are one of a group.
( is that dating?)
Zupta you.
It’s your body. Your life.
( please use protection… you do not know where ‘that’ has been!!!)
However, if you want a relationship, tell him to look you up next summer.

He sounds like a player. I wouldn’t bother with him. He just dropped his girlfriend 2 days ago and is looking to hook up already? That is not a good sign.
Hold out for a guy that is interested in you because he likes you, not because you are a notch on his belt.

Don’t look for long time commitments; just a quick boink. If that is fine, go for the sex. Not much else in his repertoire.

There seems to be a thread of all he wants is sex, which people are assuming only based on what you have said. But you can meet up with him and not have sex. If thetas all he wants, it will be a short date. But there might be more to his reaching out to you than that.

If you don;t see him, you will never know. Plus, if you meet up with him you can ask him, “how come you seem to date a lot of girls but just for a short amount of time?”

I wanted to say that I think he wants sex, too, even though I’m not sure if he himself realizes it.
And I also wanted to say for a player that speak to you periodically, he actually may like you more than many other girls he’s been with. But I don’t think he likes you enough to start a serious relationship with you now. Maybe he wants to, but I don’t think he is ready.
And I have the courage to assume that because once upon a time I’ve been him, sort of.
So if you ask me, my suggestion would have been like what @msh said. If you want sex or the experience, even though there’s the possibility that it may go down after the sex, go for it; if you want a relationship, better wait a little bit.
But after seeing @zenvelo ‘s answer I’m very impressed and I think it’s also a pretty good choice if you want to just go and see. No expectations or goals, no assumption, there could be many possible result but you can try and find out yourself.

I wouldn’t want to be a tally mark, personally.

Recent rebounders—not a safe bet. Proceed cautiously..

Sure if you like meet up with him , but with no expectations beyond seeing a childhood friend again. He is just out of a relationship so does not want anything beyond meeting, dating and maybe sleeping with different girls.

If you think you are too vulnerable then tell him you aren’t available.

@rojo Well having sex is not the point. the point is how long would it last after the sex. There’s no sure thing in life and even he is 100% a player, it’s also an experience. What’s too horrible about having dated a player in one’s life?

Nothing, that is why I said and then have sex. It is not like he would be the only one getting any enjoyment out of it. And if you are fine with that then more power to you; just don’t go into it expecting more and don’t come out of it thinking you can change him.

I think there’s nothing wrong she can think there’s always the possibility she can change him or start a relationship.
Expecting about something good is not wrong, what can be better is to be better prepared and cool about when if it doesn’t turn out to be good.
Personally, I wouldn’t just decide not give something a shot just because I am too afraid to get hurt. Worst of all, I wouldn’t try it but I’ll still start to try to get myself more prepared/ ready for the potentially negative result, so the next time it comes maybe I’ll be ready to give it a shot.
