How many times have you seen one of your friends break up with a long-term partner only to find, the very next week, someone who was obviously all wrong for them? It’s one of the most common after effects of the end of relationships: rebound dating.

1. Broken Relationships
Rebound The Smart Way

2. How many times have you seen one of your
friends break up with a long-term partner only
to find, the very next week, someone who was
obviously all wrong for them? It’s one of the
most common after effects of the end of
relationships: rebound dating.

3. The idea of rebound relationships is so ingrained into
the way we think about dating that it just seems
natural to look for one after a breakup. There’s
something to be said for getting “back in the saddle,”
choosing a partner when your judgment is clouded
usually does more harm than good overall. If you want
to get over your ex fast, there are better ways to do it.

4. The first step to keeping yourself from doing something you’ll
regret is to take an honest look at what you’re feeling and
understand how those feelings can lead you places you’d
rather not go. A lot of times we just miss the companionship
and look for someone to fill the gap in our schedule and
distract us from the fact that our heart’s just been broken. In
that case, make a point of finding a social time-filler that
doesn’t involve romance.

5. The best thing you can do to avoid getting involved with
someone who’s all wrong for you is stick to your
standards. In fact, go ahead and raise them a little just to
add a safety buffer. If the person you’re thinking about
dating is less kind, less intelligent, less anything that
you’d normally want, stay away. The people don’t make
for good relationships, rebound or otherwise.

6. When we look for someone to rebound with, we need someone
fast. We don’t have time to “waste” looking for someone we
really click with, so we tend to latch on to someone we already
know and have at least some rapport with. It might be a close
friend, a co-worker, even someone who works at the grocery
store down the street. If you find yourself falling for someone
you’ve never been the least bit attracted to before, stop and
think about what’s really going on here.

7. Instead of filling your time with go-nowhere dates,
get out and make some new friends (that’s
“friends,” not “lovers.” There’s a difference.) Get
involved in something you’ve always wanted to do
but never had time for. Whatever you do, don’t sit
around pining for your ex or scouring the bookstore
shelves for self help books.

8. Even if your not sobbing into your pillow every night,
the end of a relationship will naturally make you feel
a little bummed out and low on energy. Take that into
account and try not to start any major projects for a
few weeks. Instead, treat yourself to some time out
to do something you enjoy.

9. Of course, not every rebound relationship ends up a
disaster. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a fun fling. If you do
decide to get involved with someone after a breakup,
though, make sure you’ve taken a little off by yourself
and you’re not lowering your standards. While we can
prevent broken relationships: rebound dates gone
wrong are easy to avoid.
