has anyone ever had a rebound turn into the real thing?

(or heard of this happening?)

Does a rebound ever have a chance?

hint: just say yes k?

For real though; tell me what ya know.

Of course it can be real,it can last,it can be better and more wonderful than anything you ever had before.

I'm still waiting for my rebound though,tell me how yours turns out.

Of course It can rebounds just a term - every situation Is different - you can meet the perfect person the day you split with another - or 5 years after your last partner.

Not everybody feels the need or desire to play the field after a breakup - and In fact Ive never understood the facination with playing the field as I mean honestly Its so hard to find someone your happy with, or even attracted to on more than one level - once you do why not follow It through - could be a long LONG time till you find another.

People break up every single day - and most breakups although Initiated by one have been In the wings by both for quite some time. As long as It wasnt a really messy breakup and the persons still trying to cling onto the other - ie pictures all over ect ect you shouldnt have a problem I dont think.

Good luck and I hope It works out for you .

Just set your boundaries, and walk away on a foul play.

Rebounds are when you're stepping into a relationship without an emotional clean slate. Stepping into a relationship without that emotional clean slate reduces your chances of success, but doesn't hinder it completely.

I've never heard of any rebound relationships succeeding, but I'm sure it must have somewhere.

I caught one of those rebounds and it lasted ten and half years, and two kids later. So yes it can work , but I think rarely.

Anything and everything is possible in this life. I'm generally considered a risk taker and if I met someone on a rebound and everything was clicking...I'm more than likely not going to walk away from it. You might be missing out on the most wonderful experience of a lifetime.

isn't any relationship after the last one, a rebound?

people really need to quit labelling everything, if it feels good, go play, just keep it honest!

It hasn't happened in my case, but I suppose it could work.

Its never happened to me, and knowing the type of person I am, I don't think it ever will. Even if I start dating somebody very soon after a split, I just can't get into that person if my mind is thinking about how hurt I am over somebody else! I need to feel that I'm over somebody completely before I can give a new man a fair chance..

I agree ......TEE, but in a lot of cases it's over long before the actual split!

Morning though!

I understand what you're saying sambuca, when I was married for 15 years the last 2 were a write off. But even after he left I felt there were things I needed to deal with. Not so much getting over him, because I knew there was no love left, but there were things I needed to come to terms with, within myself. I guess I just didn't feel I was in the right frame of mind to be able to give entirely to a new person.


morning sammy, and happy belated bday..

When I was younger, before I got married, I met someone who broke up with someone else 3 days before, the same day I broke up with a pain in the neck. We lasted 2-1/2 years and was the love of my life. I should have married him when I had the chance, but I was young and foolish.

Well I am about to rebound, I just broke up with my boyfriend that I met online 6 months ago. It was a long distance relationship and he cheated. I had to end it for sanity's sake. It was a painful experience but one that taught me a lot. I recently met a handsome sweet guy online who believes in monogomy!!! He is also on this site and he lives in my town!! We have already had coffee and sparks did fly. I plan on taking things slow and he respects that. I am still hurting over my break up with my ex, I can't turn love off like a light switch. Doesn't happen that way. I think if the new guy and I take is slow and do things together as friends first, take the time to get to know eachother without jumping into things too soon , that we may have a chance.

Rebounds have always turned out bad for me...I found that I am taking too much emotional baggage with me from the last guy. Personally, I wait until my heart is free to love again before I even start to look around. It could take weeks, months or years but I know that if I do meet some incredible guy I'm not messing things up cuz I'm still feeling for the last.

He shoots .. he scores

I don't believe in rebounds. We connect with whomever we connect for a reason.
