Hey everyone.

I've just broken up with my girlfriend of just under 2 years. There's nobody I have my eye on as such, but if there ever were; how long after my break-up would it be considered a "rebound"?

I'm told rebounds should be avoided, so how long do you think until it wont be considered one?

My boyfriend dumped me back in January, tried hard to win him back without success. Even now 6 months later I'm still recovering. I go and socialise with friends etc but there has been no man yet that catches my eye. I thought my ex was my soul mate after 4 years and I can honestly say that I haven't had the hots for any one else either. So without a doubt it varies from person to person and how deep their emotional connection was with their ex.

kenny agony auntI agree with danielepew on this one, if you are emotionally over this person then anytime you want to start dating again is fine.

Good luck

flower girl agony auntI would have to agree with danielepew, if you are totally emotionally unattached to your ex then whenever you feel ready to start seeing someone is absolutely fine.

Take care.xx.

Danielepew agony auntI think a rebound is when you're not really over someone and you start seeing people just to have sex or to have someone give you affection. To me, the key is whether you actually got over someone, not the time elapsed since you broke up with someone. You know, in some cases (for example, when you're used), some people get over another person in a matter of days. I dare say even minutes.
