<human>: This is a throwaway because my very recent ex uses reddit and I don't particularly want him to read this. Anywho, I just got out of a two year relationship a couple of weeks ago. He broke up with me rather unexpectedly over text while I was studying abroad in Italy. I have known another one of the guys studying abroad for a few years, and following the break up he said he had liked me for a while. I made it very clear that I didn't want a relationship right now, and that I didn't sleep with guys who I wasn't in a relationship with. He seemed ok with both of those things for some reason and we have basically just been making out and cuddling the last couple of weeks. He keeps hinting that he wants this to continue past Europe, but never really comes out and says it. He has also been doing things like holding my hand in public, kissing my forehead, etc. that seem overly "couple-ish" to me. He is a really sweet guy, and in most ways is someone who I would consider dating, but I still have very strong feelings for my ex and want to be single for a while (would never get back together with him after how casually he ended it, and have gone essentially no contact, but I still think about him). Do I owe it to this new guy to just break things off completely, or is it ok to string him along and basically just use him as a rebound to temporarily distract myself from my ex? It isn't like I have lied to him about my intentions, but it seems like he is hoping things will change, and I really don't think they will. I'm also a little worried that I might be developing feeling for him and the last thing I want is to become emotionally dependent on another guy while I'm still recovering from a break up.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Just got dumped, have a fling with a guy I think might want more. Is it fair to him, and myself, to keep it going?
