Okay, don't lie to me or yourself...we have all done it. Say it with me, rebound relationship. Doesn't that feel better...getting it off your chest so you don't judge me? Just kidding, that wasn't for my benefit at all!
Rebound relationships...raising my hand...just ended one in December! We may not be proud of it but if you did it right then maybe you scored a few nice dinners. BUT most likely you did it just like I did, wasted your time and money...and it was totally selfish of you to do so. Someone always gets hurt in the rebound relationship. Most likely both of you leave upset from the rebound relationship but girls there is a way to avoid a rebound relationship...avoid men at all cost! OMG I am totally kidding...that is just impossible if you are a Maneater! Don't give yourself all at once to a man. If he is the right man he will get all of you eventually...don't give him the satisfaction of everything you got in the first week. That's borderline crazy!
How do you know if you are headed into a rebound relationship?
#1, after an upsetting breakup you immediately involve yourself with a man.
If your car broke down today, would you take the time and money to fix it or would you dump it and run out to the next car dealer you saw on the highway to purchase a car? OMG no you would NOT do that...so why would you do that with your heart?
We all miss the comfort and security of a relationship. Knowing that person will tuck you in emotionally each night. But it has to be the right man. The idea that someone loves you and needs you. Honestly girls, you need to learn to love and need yourself first. This is a very hard truth to come to grips with...believe me I am still trying to do this myself but until you truly love yourself there is no room for someone else.
So lesson learned...no rebounds! And if you are in one now...ask yourself why, get a nice dinner out of it and then break up with him.
Who's next?
