If you haven't been in a relationship for over a decade, can you still be picked up on the rebound?

Probably not, but depends on how much healing you've done on your own.

oh yes!!

i am in it!!
been in it for about 7 years......(divorced)....

loving it...fell in love at least twice...it was awesome...

just wondering, aloud, if the current one is long term material.....seems like it, for now.....time will tell.....i think i am the first person she has "dated" since her divorce 2.5 years ago.....

it's hard to tell...because...if nothing else...i am a great date.....so she may just be intrigued by "dating" and not intrigued by me...or a little of both...

Honey, listen someone on the rebound doesn't really know they are on the rebound... If she's interested, it's in you, rebounds fall in love, and sometimes are harder to get over than the ones they rebounded from.....

Shoot, I don't think I can get picked up on the rebound any more. Where were you women ten years ago when I could have been put back into play off a rebound?

Oh I don't date men on the rebound... HELLZ NO... and I try to not hurt others by keeping myself in check, I'm very aware of where I am emotionally...Well, most of the time...I'm Irish..so I get a bit more leway...

naw broken hearts aren't that bad, you just leave the shattered remains alone and let someone else put them back together. see, that way no worries about rebounding!!!

Sometimes. If it's been a decade, someone's not getting away from the keyboard enough.

you should know
they never last
you need to find out for you

thanks hawaii

Burn out quick and very painful.

All the questions about relastionships working out boil down to 3 things.

Are both party's willing to work together, and make it work.

Do both party's feel the same way, the same strength of feelings

can both party's deal with resentments caused by the other party.

All questions about a happy and healthy relastionship working out boil down to one simple thing.

Can both party's be completey open and honest when it counts.

I think if the other person can keep there heart open and admit the hard stuff, like they still may be inlove with there ex, and they want to make it work, then you got a good chance. Otherwise i wouldn't take bets on it. 2.5 years seems enough to heal though. Some people will always be bitter over certin relastionships. If they use 'is' instead of 'was' thats pretty much a dead give away.
