Thoughts on rebounding...

Question - (30 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 1 December 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have a general question about this rebounding phenomenon. I've never done it myself, as I give myself time to heal. I may get physical with someone, but I'd never dive into a new relationship, because it doesn't feel right to me if my heart isn't in it.

So when someone has had their heart broken and jumps into something new before being fully healed, are there personality characteristics that go along with the person they are rebounding with?

My theory is that it is usually someone who shows them attention and who demonstrates that they like the person. A "Well, this person likes me alot, and I like to the extent that I can like them, and it doesn't look like my heart will get broken, so let's have at it" situation? Safety, attention, etc...

What are your thoughts?

pancakes rule agony auntThere are no personality characteristics, depending on how bad the break up is, you can be left vulnerable and become easily attracted to guys you meet when on the rebound.

Some people may never have this, others may experience only once or rarely while some constantly go through it constantly.

You, for example, say you need time, but there may be a time when you will have a rebound guy, you never know.

The rebound guy is someone who comforts you and it's something that people like and so can really enjoy the whole experience of being with someone again.

It is very dependant on many factors.
