I've been talking to this guy for a while and I really like him. We're going out tonight, and I don't want him to be just a rebound guy. I just got out of a pretty serious relationship about 2 months ago. The thing is, what I understand from rebounds, the point is to get your mind off your ex, or to make him/her jealous. Well, my mind's been off my ex since I left him 2 months ago. No tears, no looking back, no missing him, etc. And he's not even in the same state for me to make him jealous. Please help....

It's not a rebound. If you don't think of your ex and don't want anythign to do with him then, what is going on now isn't a rebound.

Just be careful. I've done that a few times. One of the times I gave up my virginity because I was so heartbroken over a guy. It was stupid. Just make sure that you don't get too serious. try to keep it casual until you know enough about the guy. my current bf had a 6 yr relationship that ended a couple of weeks before we started talking. and even though he's over her there are some set backs. not really from the past relationship. but more mental ones. it's just a risk when you go for someone new right after your past relationship has ended. you may have feelings come up that you didn't expect or that were hidden away for the time being. as long as you're stable and know what direction you want to go in then enjoy this new guy and what he has to offer. one time i got out of a relationship and met a guy and i just wanted to be friends but he absolutely insisted that I be his girlfriend or he didnt' want to hang out anymore. so i just tried a relationship with him but it didn't work out. well good luck

As long as you are truly interested in this guy then don't worry about it. Have fun get to know each other and see what happens. Just because you are going out with someone after you ended another relationship does not make him a rebound guy.

This does not sound like a rebound. Go out with the fella and have a great time and I would not look back or question yourself. Have fun. You free and Single. Do what makes you Happy!!

Sometimes a relationship, especially if it was long term, can just fizzle out and you're completely over it before the relationship has ended. Don't worry about it and enjoy this new guy and your time together! You may end up marrying him for all you know! Don't be scared!
