I want to know, from a guys perspective, when men break up with women whom they have had a long term relationship/ get divorced, what do they want out of a rebound?
Are they looking for a soft place to fall, just some chick to have sex with, or to start another relationship right away as a means to cushion the fall?
Which brings me to my next question - what type of woman would be your ideal rebound?
My best friend is a man who just came out of a 5+ year relationship - - - he claims he "just needs laid" since the break up (which is probably true)....He has expressed an interest in having this sexual encounter with me --- I have refused, not only because of our friendship but because, if we were to have become intimate, I know that I would want something more than to just be some chick he's having sex with - I would eventually want a relationship with him sometime in the future, if things worked out. I am of the impression that rebounds NEVER work and that you should never jump into a relationship after leaving a serious one because that does not work either.
I just want to know if am thinking along the right lines or if I am totally off the mark here!
