Becuase a rebound is someone who is just may love you as a friend...and usually is desperate and doesnt really LOVE the girl (or guy) as much as they need too...

It isn't good to rebound because it shows those around you that you are desperate. Rebounding = desperate. And I don't think you want to suffer more humiliation from that in addition to the hurt you feel when you break up with someone (if you feel any hurt at all).

Take my case. My wife died of a brain tumor just when we had made major plans concerning a new business. I married on the rebound and the rebound wife turned out to be a con artist who poisoned my family/friends/employees against me.
While I was not what you'd call "desperate" before I leaped into that mistake, I am somewhat of an emotionally needy guy. This taught me not to cast my pearls before swine, but to just talk to my best friends over stuff; and then take it easy looking.
The silver lining is that I met my new girlfriend just when I swore I'd give up on all women - and she was in a similar phase in her life! Just take it slow - everything will work out just fine.

A rebound is a substitute for the person someone broke up with. They are either trying to make you like that person or they will decide they no longer want to be with you and go back to the person they broke up with. They might even decide that you are too much like the person they broke up with and go find someone else.

when i broke up with my ex.. i dated this guy who was a rebound i didnt really like him but what i did like was the company... i never had time to get over my ex and just be happy with out have someone... and you need that when you get out of a relationship... even if the person seems happy the person who is the rebound is going to get hurt in the long run.. they are always going to compare their ex to you...

well being a rebound is good only if.......you aren't looking to get into a serious relationship and are just "dating" not together.....and being a rebound usually means it will be easy to get the other person in bed......so if thats your thing go for it......

You are just filling a void created when the other person split up with a prior partner. Somehow rebounds just don't seem to work. Once their ego is bolstered up again, they don't need you. (usually)

because it makes you less of a person in their eyes, and by being a rebound for them, your letting them think that..

because your emotions are still somewhat on the other person and you are feeling vulnarable to the point where you will go for just about anything in order to feel wanted

b/c no one takes u seriously in a relationship. they think they are "just another one" and they know once you guys break up u wont care.
