It's proper etiquette 'round these parts to offer your opinion with a post. You'll get more responses that way. Also, this may be better suited to either Tilted Sexuality or Tilted Life (I'm leaning towards the latter, but as it has to do with romantic relationships and potentially casual sex, it might be the former).

I think the answer to the question is pretty clear. A rebound is a relationship initiated shortly after a break-up to help get over your ex. It can be a good coping tool, but it sucks for the other person if they're expecting a real relationship to develop.

If you're fucking the new guy, and you're imagining he's your ex - it might be a rebound. If you expect the new guy to act like your ex, and get mad when he doesn't - it might be a rebound. If you just broke up with someone, and you feel this amazing chemistry with number 2 - almost like you've been with him as long as your recent relationship - only without the nasty baggage you used to fight about all the time...it might be a rebound. If you've recently broken up with someone, and you get into a new relationship before you've had time to move on with your life, chances are there's some level of rebounditity to the new relationship. I've seen new relationships outlast the rebound stage - but most often they die on the vine when the rebounder has to admit to themselves that the old relationship is really over, and the new relationship isn't the old relationship with some new sex involved.

I'm sorry to go off-topic here, but are you related to Jeff Foxworthy?

Are you over an ex-partner?

If not, are you seeing someone else?

If yes, they're a rebound.

Pretty simple if you ask me.

If you're nailing someone right after breaking up from a relationship, and you're doing them at least in part to make yourself feel better about the breakup, and as a tool to "get over" the person you broke up with...that is one kind of rebound relationship. This kind is really not very healthy.

If you like someone who's involved, they break up, and you swoop in and start dating the party you're interested in, that's another kind of rebound relationship. This kind can occasionally be healthy, but often isn't.

If someone specifically asks you to date them and have sex with them in order to spite the person from whom they just broke up, that's also a kind of rebound relationship. This kind is almost never healthy, but the sex is usually awesome.

It's when you go out after a breakup and get with someone, anyone, to prove you're still desirable.

For instance, I kissed a completely, no, extremely dateable girl the other night, but not because I'd like to date her but to make myself feel better. Sounds selfish, it kind of is, but that's a rebound; it's "dating" while you're still to fucked sideways by the last girl/guy you dated.

Someone that makes you feel good after you're feeling bad and who lifts you up when your world has crashed down. The problem is that you wouldn't be there for them if your positions were switched.

To me a rebound guy/girl is someone you are seeing/kissing/fucking when you are still emotionally connected to your ex.

That being said, some people may rebound for years.

I had really bad nasty sex with a girl that I don't respect and for the most part... I'm not attracted to.


Rebound done. Now I can focus on the girl I really want.
