i wouldn’t mess with someone on the rebound. i’d rather be with someone who is in a place in their life where they can handle a new relationship, and if they are still healing from the last relationship, they are not ready.

“Why not have a rebound relationship?”
Because “rebounds” are not even real relationships, in my opinion. They are bandaids. My morals and upbringing has taught me that relationships are sacred things, not to be mocked. Especially when we are talking male-female romantic involvements. When you bring in elements so intimate such as sex, sharing emotions, sharing living space,etc., it had better be real, or you are just mocking god and his gift of human bonding.
I guess the real question should be “why not have a relationship with yourself first? When you discover yourself you develop real self worth, based on who you are, not approval from someone else. My ex-fiancee had multiple rebounds after we broke up and after a while I realized his whole life had been one big rebound, because he grew up in a broken and dysfunctional home. He never ever healed.
Like I said, rebounds are bandaids….and pretty flimsy ones at that.
