Be careful you don't rebound!!

[Starshyne]

I guess I had a totally different experience with my "rebound" guy. He really helped me to remember that I am an attractive person and worthy of a man's attention. We both got into the relationship at the same stage in our lives (I was almost divorced and he was in the middle of the process) and just wanted to connect with someone of the other sex. I had fun. I do not have children and neither does he, so that wasn't a factor. Sure, I knew I wasn't going to end up married to this man and my reasons for wanting to hang out with him were all wrong, but still it was a nice time.

I guess I am on what might be thougth of as rebound #2. I dont' know. We are taking thing slowly. Go out and have diner and chat about once a week. I enjoy this man's company and he understands that I am still working on myself after my divorce. He has never been married but respects where I am right now and just likes hanging out and chatting.

I am trying my best to be careful with dating. I enjoy the chance to get out and do things with a man and not just being stuck at home alone feeling bad for myself. But I am making sure that I am spending plenty of "me" time as well. I do not expect to marry this new man, at least not any time in this decade! I first need to decide if marriage is something I am still interested in. I think the key is to find a middle ground between a "rebound" and socializing?
