One common thing for people to do after a long-term relationship is dive right into a rebound relationship. No matter how much you think this new relationship feels like love if you have fallen really hard really fast the odds are good that it is, in fact, a rebound relationship and not the true love you believe you’ve found. Will you be as hurt as the time your ex broke up with you? You need not to undergo the same pain again, so know how to protect yourself from the rebound pain.

Normally, when you go in headlong into a relationship, you miss some of the warning signs that would have had you heading for the heels in ordinary times. Enjoy each other’s company first before getting too serious about it. Take things slowly when dating someone new. If you rush into things you might be in over your heard before you even know the water is deep.

Avoid seeking replacements. You can’t replace the one that got away. You also can’t replace the level of love and commitment that you’ve lost. There is no point in trying. The best you can hope for is to build something new and different with someone new and special. Even that will take a little time. Don’t rush into anything and you should be able to stay off the relationship roller-coaster known as a rebound relationship.

If it’s going to be a genuine romance it will stand up to strict limits for time. This will also give you a little time to pick up on any potential red flags and warning signs that you might miss if you dive right in and allow things to get too intense too quickly. You will soon decide to settle down and start getting serious about one of the people you’ve been dating.

The other reason you want to avoid rebound relationships is to give yourself time to see if it’s really over with your ex. If you aren’t ready to give up on your ex there is a way to get your ex boyfriend back. It all starts with the first step I teach in this free video: http://www.magicofmakingup.com.
