Unbalanced Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 So I've been dating my ex for 3 years and we broke up about 3 months ago. This past month I started putting myself out there again, and I have been seeing this new girl who goes to my school. I really do like this new girl, we have soo much in common and just great chemistry. Just thinking about this new girl makes me feel great. Anyway, although I have definitely made "moving on" progress with my ex, there are still things that get to me when I look at her facebook such as her untagging pictures of us and stuff like that. I also really don't like the thought of my ex seeing another guy. Are these feelings normal? I really don't think of this new girl as a rebound at all, but the fact that I am not completely over my ex still scares me a bit, idkk...
daphne Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Only time will tell. However, if you're still jealous about your ex then chances are it probably is a rebound. You haven't let go of the past and aren't ready to fully embrace what's in your present.
thatdog Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Problem is every girl you date will probably be a rebound girl until you fall for someone as hard as you did for her. You'll most likely not know if the girl you're seeing now will end up having that much of an effect on you until it's too late. If you never date anyone until you know you are 100% over your ex you might never date again.
ilovedhim Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Until you're indifferent about your ex, they're all rebounds. But I don't see why you shouldn't date other people as long as you're honest with them, i.e. not making promises you know you won't keep.
druthers25 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 when i broke up with my girlfriend i deleted her facebook, i took all her pictures down, i deleted her from my phone, i took everything she gave me, went to a friends house and threw it in his firepit....and burned it. now it may seem unreasonable but trust me, it helps in getting over your ex since you dont have to look at anything shes given you. you dont want the constant reminder that she is your ex everywhere you turn try it
veggirl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 You'd move on and not be caught in the rebound thing for so long if you...say...deleted her from facebook so you didn't know what she is up to all the time. I'd be totally annoyed if I was dating a guy and then found out he's all sad his ex is untagging him in pictures. So I hope you are upfront w/ these girls that you indeed are NOT over your ex.
