5 reasons you should never date someone on the rebound (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

How much time needs to pass after the break up to not be considered a rebound? I'm sure there's no universal consensus on this one as everyone handles break ups differently. Regardless well written take.

Time isn't as much of a factor as much as the person's mental state. Like a person who was in a relationship and breaks up but is over it in a few months is not on the rebound. A person who breaks up but holds onto it for a year is if that makes any sense. I truly think said girl who rebounded on me was constantly on the rebound because she'd ALWAYS be seeing someone between dating her ex (now bf) on and off over the past 6 years,

And shed never be over him when dating other people.

To find someone who has no exes, you'll have to start dating toddlers :D :D

That's not what I'm saying at all. A person on the rebound isn't someone who dates after having ex bfs/gfs. It's only if they date someone while still having feelings for an ex. Going by your logic, the majority of adults would be rebounders.

in my opinion they are.

I look for girls on the rebound and use it to get sex.
I don't care if they leave or end up going back... It's simply for the sex.

That's what I should have done if I knew what was going on.

So you should just never date anyone who's ever been in a relationship. Right? Because that means they're on the rebound.

[myTake Owner]

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying you shouldn't date someone who just got out of a relationship, isn't emotionally available, and wants their ex back and to make them jealous.

How many times do I have to explain this?

[myTake Owner]

If you have an ex and you feel indifferent, neutral, unmoved towards them then you aren't on the rebound.
