Having a "rebound" after serious relationship ends

[LateBloomer]

I have been the rebound 'date' and its not pretty... As such I wait about a year after a relationship ends before accepting options to date.

There have been longer periods.....

I do not think rebound dating is necessary. In fact it may be counterproductive. I have always used post relationship periods to focus on what I did wrong and try to fix myself. I become a bit selfish and focus on the 'me' part of my life.

Out of all the things I do wrong when it comes to emotional hygiene, this is one of the few things psychologies have told me I instinctively do 'right'. :biggrin:

Thanks.
The part in bold hits pretty close to home.
