Somewhat of a long backstory; I apologize...

About a month ago I met this guy at an event I went to for work. He approached me, and we hit it off pretty well. I contacted him a week or so later and we eventually began chatting regularly. Since then we have only met again in person a few times (we're both really busy), but already things have become quite heated.  We haven't had sex, but I ended up spending the night at his place last time I was there. It's clear he wants something physical, but he's also been very clear he's not looking for a relationship.

We both just got out of long-term partnerships (me 6 years, him 2) and neither of us want to risk becoming attached again so quickly. I have told him I'm not looking for a rebound, that I just want to have fun, and he has expressed similar sentiments.

This is new to me. I have only seriously dated one guy (my last boyfriend), and have only ever been intimate with him. This new guy is much more outgoing than I am--I assume he's had at least a few partners in his lifetime; he seems to know what he's doing, at least, and I can't say I didn't enjoy it already. My concern lies with the fact that if I do end up sleeping with him, I'm going to become attached. Obviously neither of us wants that. It's just that I'm the type of person who develops an emotional bond before a physical one, and I'm afraid it's very one-sided at this point.

Up until now I hadn't ever considered having multiple sexual partners in my life. But things change, and I'm finding myself very attracted to him. I just feel like I want to get to know him more, but he seems reluctant about developing even a friendship.

Reddit, am I being blinded by his dashing good looks? He doesn't seem like the type of guy to sleep and run, but then again I really don't know him that well. I don't want to end up getting hurt because I let my guard down. Is this just a recipe for disaster?

I (25f) just met him (29m). Mutual sexual attraction has developed, but I'm hesitant because I get very emotional about

I'm afraid if I sleep with this new guy, I'll become attached.
