oh_what_am_I_doing Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Hey, I just wanted to know what people think about this. My boyfriend and I split up two weeks ago; we were together for 1 1/2 years. It was pretty bad... there at the end he was spiraling downhill with his eating and hygiene habits and his out-of-control video gaming. My mom was hounding me to get back into the dating game after we broke up; for the first week I didn't really feel like it, but this second week I felt better. I decided to try online dating and right away had four dates lined up. I've went on the first three already; the first two were pretty lame, but the third guy was totally awesome I've heard that I should wait a year and "find myself....", but I don't want to waste any more of my twenties... If I wait a year, I'll be 29! On the other hand, I don't want a rebound either. I keep telling myself that my friend found her husband after just being dumped by her boyfriend of 5+ years.... I guess that one wasn't a rebound. What do you all think?
Touche Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 If you feel ready, why wait? That whole rebound thing is a crock. I've told my story before. I was with my ex-husband on and off for 9 years total. We were married for three of those 9 years. Three days after we separated, I met my husband. We were married eight months later. That was almost 12 years ago and we're very happy. So listen to your mom and get out there!
stace79 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Agreed...I think the important thing is that YOU feel ready. If you are not ready to give your heart to someone else, make sure you are honest that you are just making friends. But I don't think it's unrealistic to think you could meet someone very special so soon after a breakup.
