Dating a man on the rebound

Dating on the rebound – when looking for love can be a lifesaver

What is the right amount of time to start a new romantic relationship after a breakup? Another says to wait one month for every year of the last relationship before dating again. But forget about mathematics — perhaps the length or seriousness of the last relationship is key, and more involved and committed relationships need to be followed by a longer break. But what if someone feels ready just one week after a breakup? Is that really ready or are they fooling themselves? Rebounding tends to be a bad word. The general consensus is that people need time to heal their wounds and to figure out who they are as independent, single individuals so that they can have a clean slate for their next relationship and not repeat their mistakes.

I have been seeing someone for about a month now who I am really into—the sex is great and we have a lot of fun together. I have a few concerns though. He says he's over his ex, but it feels like he brings her up a little too much. I also recently found out that we met only a week after their relationship officially ended. I feel like there's potential for this to turn into something more serious, but I'm worried that I'm just the rebound girl.
