He is just been dumped
Hello,
I'm a Dutch girl and I'm in love with a boy (a friend) who has just been dumped.
In the Netherlands we have the word: "troostrelatie". It means something like: comfort relationship.
It's when you've just been dumped and you begin a new relationship to get over your exboy/friend.
Do the English also have such a word?
And what would you do if you were me?
-
Enjoy the relationship and see where it leads you

The closest word I know is [URL="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rebound"]rebound[/URL].
If I were you, I would ask him out. Don't get too comfortable until he is over her.

My bf was at the beginning a rebound bf and well, we are still together, my relationship with him is longer and better than with my ex and we are both happy. Sometimes rebounds work out just fine :) Just try :)

Ya everyone is right rebound is the right term. The other poster are right that you must not hold too much value in this relationship because it might be temporary. You may end up being used to get over the break up and have it not be a real relationship you were hoping for. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah, it's what is known as a 'rebound'.
Personally and if that is what you want to settle for, good luck to ya.
