Rebound dating
16/f
me and my boyfriend recently broke up and my other guy friend says that the best way to "get over" a relationship is to rebound date. personally i don't think that's right because its leading the other person on, making them think that you like them when all you are doing is making the ex jealous or making yourself think about the ex. then my other guy friend (the one from above) calls me up and asks if i want to do something this weekend, and i say yeah because he is my friend. but later on during our conversation, he suddenly whispers really fast that i should go for the rebound dating. i know what he wants, but do you think that rebound dating is the best way to "get over" a previous relationship? thanks in advance.

You aren't necessarily using the person. Well, kinda but not in a bad way. A rebound is just getting right back into dating immediatley after breaking up with someone. You could easily Date that person for a long time. It's sort of like when you fall off a horse you get right back on. Does that make sense? :)

I personally think that rebound dating isn't the best way to get over a previous relationship. It's hard getting over a relationship with someone you really liked, but no, rebound dating isn't something you should do. You're friend might like you, but you might want to watch out if he ends up asking you out...if you two go out and break up..he might just start rebound dating.
Getting over a relationship...is hard. it takes a lot of time;especially when you really liked that someone. So, just go have fun w/ some girl friends. that'll take your mind off of your ex for at least some time. good luck && hope i helped!

hi there
i am sorry about you breakup nothing anyone can say, can make it better. it could be your friend likes you, but to go out with someone that you're not really into isnt a good idea , my personal opinon i don't think is the best way, because whatever you friend does you find that you'll be comparing him to your ex boyfriend
nothing i can say, can make you get over him, jst give it time, it might help if you knew why you broke off in the first place . personally people say time is the best healer for the sore heart. i am not saying i'll agree with this , but give it time and its not easy
Good luck

Everyone is different. Perhaps for this friend of yours rebound dating is the answer. Obviously for you it is not. It also depends on how serious you were with your ex and if there is really any way of getting back with him. Don't fool yourself, if it is over then accept it and try to move on. It will take time and it will hurt but this feeling will not last forever, believe me. Also does this guy friend of yours want to date you himself? If he does think clearly. First and foremost he is your friend and if you did date him and it did not work out things would always be awkward betwen you afterwards. Good luck and stay positive.

Dear Weirded out and conflustered,
If you really had feelings for your boyfriend you should give it some time. Let the interim be a healing period when you can really evaluate what you want in dating and the type of guy you want to date. Don't just rebound but really ask yourself if this is someone who has the same interests,and passions, and someone you are genuinely attracted to. Just dating for dating sake is wasting everyone's time so wait for someone you really want to date and not just date anyone.
