people on the Rebound

Do you guys ever go on the Rebound?
Do you ever take advantage of a situation when a person had just broken up with someone and tried to move on in?

 

I dont really respect those who get into a relationship very quickly after being dumped
it's either becuase they are lonely (which causes them to pick random people just to satisfy that lonely feeling, not real love)
or becuase they want to make there Ex jealous (and that's never cool)



I"ve also been a victim of someone trying to hit on me as soon as i was dumped by another guy. He tried to be my rebound guy, to use that as a good time frame to try to pursue me. Becuase I was lonely I almost gave in. But I stopped myself. Although his company was nice at the time, I knew that in the end I would never really care for him. So I rather be lonely and face hardship, than to be NOT true to myself

 

Usually this type of relationship wouldnt work since you do not genuinely have any feeling for him/ her, unless if that person was always there for you before.

 

always depends on the situation. if you are the type of guy who looks for girls on the rebound then ur sad, but if it occurs spontaneously then maybe it was fate

 

GOOD FOR U!!!!

 

i don't mind having those types of relationships
just really depends, sometimes they do work out. and usually the other person knows what they are getting themselves into, and if they enjoy the relationship, whether long or short term, then it shouldn't matter anyways.

 

I know a girl who started dating someone a week after getting out of a 7 year relationship, I questioned her motives because they are both friends of mine.

 

i personally won't do it. its completely meaningless. i know some ppl say that they its jsut the physical stuff to make the emotional stuff bearable, but at the same time, after that's done, the emotional crap is still there. and now, it's even worse because u just had a meaningless relationship (if u can even call it a relationship, more like a fling).
but one of my guy friends once told me that it was just his way of dealing with pain. so i guess it just depends on the person.

 

Yep i have been in rebound.. i mean a guy made a move on me when i just broken up and also i made a move on a guy who just broken up .. Trust me, rebound relationships suck and they usually don't work

 

theres always good n bad with everything i guess
atleast u got nice company for that period =)

but with these rebound relationships, u wouldn't expect it to last neway

 

Indeed! But why go thru another heartache juz to wipe out de current pain?

 

all depends on the person of course
some mite not feel any pain =)

i hafn't been in rebound situations, so its not me! hehehe

 

haha true. That dpends on whether u r the one being on the rebound or going after a person on the rebound. The former , u won't feel any pain coz u dun really like him/her (ur on de rebound duh) and the latter... pain!

 

exactly =)

if u planned on using them to begin with, u hafn't lost anything at the end of the thing
but im sure it sux being used =P

 

well they prob know u just broken up so they know they r takin a risk there..

 

that's true
i've seen it happen with a friend
but then again all her relationships (between 1/2 year to 2+ years have always happened because she was lonely)

so it still makes me skeptical about certain people
