Talking There's nothing like the next [one] to take your mind off your ex

I'm not a great fan of rebound relationships, but I have been moping around for over a month since my fiance and I broke up. Anyhow, I decided to go out and make some friends on an online chat site. I ended up spending all evening talking to the greatest guy (who for all I know can be totally fake) but it took my mind completely off my ex and made me smile. Sometimes some casual male attention can make you feel not a 100% loser.

You're a beautiful girl, the only one who can make you feel not a 100% loser is you.
After your ordeal with the cad ex fiance...forget the validation from a guy and find it within yourself.

Oh noooooooooooooooooooo look out the online chat or online dating service. I did that and talked with a woman online then on the phone over a 2 night period we talked 8 hours on the phone hooked up for a date(screetching car breaks)BAAAAAM GOT smacked with the "she didn't look like the picture she sent me"stick.So beware little red riding hood there are wolfes out in cyber land But you are right takes your mind off the ex and you feel good again until it crashes like a trainwreck.

Glad you're feeling better Unfortunately it will wear off and you'll have to keep working at getting past everything that happened with your ex-f. But I think you need a day off from that every once in a while so here's to the rebound!

On a personal note, the rebound relationship after my breakup from this year screwed me up even more so just be careful SM

Hey hey hey! I'm not saying rebound, I'm not saying I will ever meet this guy, I'm not even say this is the answer to my looser issues over the breakup! All I was saying is that it felt nice. I haven't even allowed myself to talk to another guy in a semi-close friendship sense (that's how much I DON'T cheat) in over 3 years. The guy may be a fake (although he sent me a million pictures of himself, his address and he knows people I do) and may never meet him, and I don't have high expectations. I don't WANT a new relationship right now, I'm still preety screwed up from the last one. HOWEVER It felt nice in the midst of all that stupid drama last night to get a long e-mail from a guy online who chattered about cool intellectual stuff and the night before who I talked to for hours. Just a friend and it felt good.
