Dear bwale:
It is natural to have a blahh feeling seeing the girlfriend of your ex boyfriend. After all you are 10% not over him!
Regarding the guy in Europe: I wouldn’t go to be with him, stay with him in Europe when you don’t know him and … you don’t know him. You don’t know his motivations and him calling you “babe” is not much information- he may be calling everyone “babe” and it may mean something negative or disparaging, I don’t know… but you don’t know either. Try to get to know him online/ phone, get to know him and please post again with any information you get about him!
