Am i doing the 'rebound thing'?

Question - (12 February 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 13 February 2007)
A female United States age 36-40, *annover21 writes:

Hello! Im just getting out of a 2 year relationship with someone who first started out as my best friend.

Towards the end of the relationship, we even started acting just as best friends, so i feel that the in-love factor has been gone for a while. As of right now I have been ignoring his calls and texts because I think I may be interested in someone new and just want to move on with my life (but i miss my best friends :-/).

Im really confused on weather Im starting to latch on to mr. new subconciously so I wont feel so alone... because anyone who has gone through a rough break up knows the pain and misery you go through. Is it ok that I may be committing the dreaded "rebound act"/may like someone new so soon? help

AskEve agony auntI think it would be a lot healthier for you to forget guys, for at least a while and concentrate on other things in your life. Find yourself again, who you really are and what you really want from life. (See link below)

I have also given you a link which will help you get over your break up.

There are some excellent tips on there that you can follow. There is plenty time for a relationship, you are still very young. Don't go out LOOKING for someone, just get out and have fun and let that special someone come to you.

cd206 agony auntIt might be a rebound fling but if you feel ready there's nothing wrong with it. Rebounds are only bad when you're doing it just to stop feeling sad about someone else but if you're sure you're over your ex go for it.
