Is dating when you’re not over an ex a bad idea?

Not technically my ex. We (me 20F and him 21M) had an exclusive ‘thing’ for about a month; we texted way too often and both self-disclosed far too much to the point that when we finally did meet, we were already super emotionally invested. However, he displayed some red flags IRL which initially resulted in me opening up our exclusive entanglement, until eventually I decided to end things with him altogether.

2 days before I ended it though, I went out for drinks with friends and got on really well with a mutual friend (19M) who I’ve been mildly crushing on. He was super sweet and kind, and we ended up going back to mine. He’s amazing in every way, even moreso than guy 1, but I don’t know if I’m totally ready to date again. Also I’m not as sexually attracted to guy 2 as I was to guy 1 even though he has a hot face, body, everything... and my text conversations with guy 2 aren’t as fluid (but maybe that’ll come with time?).

I thought I had completely gone off guy 1, but today a friend called me and asked for “permission” to get it on with guy 1 at a party she was currently at. I said yeah yeah go ahead but in retrospect I’m not sure if I’m okay with it. But I had no right to say that because we’re over now anyway. Ugh.

Guy 2 and I have already decided to go slow (it’s only been 1.5 weeks - I also told him I recently got out of a thing with someone else, guy 1) but now I’m wondering whether I should break things off with guy 2 so I can focus on completely getting over guy 1. I don’t want guy 2 to be just a rebound. I don’t want to be fake / unfair to him. Also don’t know if me and guy 2 even gel that well?

If I’m not over guy 1 completely, should I stop dating other people until I am?
