rebound
if someone is "on the rebound" is he/she truly free to pursue another relationship? i know there are people that are monogomous daters that always have a significant other, pursuing one serious relationship to the next, and it works, but is it wise? does a person need time to rediscover what it is to be by him/herself? most of the time i think a person should always know him/herself, especially when in a relationship. so then the question becomes, is a rebounder emotionally ready to commit to another individual? especially if that person was dumped or if that person was with his/her significant other for many years?

as usual, it depends on the person. from personal experience, i got to know myself best when i was alone for a while. although i did have a couple rebounds and those played a huge part in the getting-to-know-myself process.
I agree with Cic, it's all case by case.
My friend who's getting married at the end of September was a rebound. But her and her fiance have been together for about 8 years now.
really does depend on the person - look at my
e. All of the above :) Kinda weird when people meet on the rebound knowing it's a rebound, cuz often times, those don't pan out...but like they said, everyone's different...
ditto what everyone said... it's also nice when the person you're with gives you enough space to allow you to continue to develop who you are and continue to get to know yourself. but yea, like cici, i found it easier to do that when you're alone too. i don't think there's a hard and fast rule about it though.
