<human>: About two months ago I ended a long term relationship with a woman (over reasons that are irrelevant to this post). I have recently begun dating a woman and things have been going well.

I enjoy her company and I'm attracted to her physically. We have similar tastes but not the exact same interests which has kept things interesting and allows both of us to get into new things.

I really want this dating to evolve into a relationship, but one thing I'm afraid of is that I'm rebounding and only getting so into her because I want to replace my ex. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my ex. Not in a way like I wish we were still together, but I can't help but have thoughts about her. We lived together for a couple of years, all of our furniture was bought together, and we raised pets that still live with me. 

Does anybody have methods for knowing for sure they're ready to be in a relationship with somebody? I feel like I'm ready, but again, I don't know if I'm rebounding or not.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Finally moving on from the end of a LTR. I've started to date a girl I really like, but am unsure if it is because I really like her or am subconsciously trying to replace my ex.
