congratulations on not waiting for him! ur so right about the not wanting a girlfriend thing! i actually realized that i did the same thing to my current boyfriend. i really want to read "he's just not that into you" cuz i saw the author on oprah & everything he mentioned totally applies to me, but from the male perspective!
AJ i am so proud of you for not giving in. You are very strong. That is very funny though that now he has a g/f, at least you didn't do anything that you regret now!
What if he needed a girlfriend? Someone to be close to but not deal with the "we are going to get married thing" especially if he has bigger things like illness in the family.
I hate to say this but a good man can be had, they are out there but sometimes you need to make concessions to him too.
If you see him again, ask him where the new relationship is going. Chances are they are just BF/GF and nothing more.
Andrea Julia, good for you! It's great when you can actually get the reinforcement that your suspicion was CORRECT! It's awful when a relationship ends and you never get the proof about what was really going on with all the disconnected circumstantial evidence you had, you can get over the guy, but not the feeling of curiousity about the truth.
And from now on, you know you can trust your instincts.
Ladies, there's a lot of potential Scott Peterson's out there.

When I said girlfriend, I meant girl"friend". Often times guys just don't know what they want and if a woman looks like she wants to get serious before he is ready to, he'll run the other way.
Maybe the new girl he is seeing was very casual about it, or maybe when he met her he found the right person for him.
When you aren't looking that's when it usually happens.
