To avoid being a rebound, do everything in your power to steer clear of getting into a relationship with this person too soon.

When you get so immersed in your emotions, you are susceptible to getting into a relationship with that person too quickly.

You need to give it time.

The time you spend getting to know this person is also the time that gives you the opportunity to learn about their relationship past.

It allows you to know how long this person has has been out of a relationship.

If you learn that this person just got out of a relationship in the last one or two weeks, this is when you pause.

This is when you have to use your better judgement, regardless of how good you feel about this person.

This is the point where you practice caution.

Unfortunately, this is the part that so many people are deceived.

You learned that this person just got out of a relationship.

They tell you that the relationship was painful, and give you a sob story that influences how you think.

You feel sorry for this person, and get a little angry at this person’s previous partner.

How could they have treated this seemingly sweet and wonderful person like this?

You become so caught up in being sorry for this person that you forget about the fact that they just got out of a relationship.

You believe that you should help make it up to this person who seems so sweet and endearing.

Ergo, you make yourself available to them, opening up to them in a manner that you normally wouldn’t with someone you recently met.

You do this in order to show this person that you are not like their past partner that treated them so bad.

You are a much nicer and kinder individual.

Unfortunately, this is when you lose your rational mind and fall for a desire to make things better for this person.

This kind of desire is very intoxicating.

You don’t realize it is there until it is too late.

It is too late because you have now gotten intimate with this person too soon and you are beginning to generate feelings for them.

This person that just got out of a relationship a week or two ago.

Now you have been drawn in and you didn’t see it coming.

This is why you must not allow yourself to get caught up in the stories.

A person who recently got out of a relationship can be very good in making it seem like they were the victim of their previous relationship.

Unfortunately, you only get to hear this person’s side of the story.

You never got to hear the other person’s side of the story.

The other person’s side of the story is different, and it’s feasible they were done wrong.

You don’t know that because all you have to go on is what this person that you are interested in is telling you.

To avoid being a rebound, your best approach is to take your time getting to know someone and steer clear of being influenced by any sob story.
