Wow, no bitter entry here? Hmm. Okay, being on the rebound is having recently been involved in the end of a relationship, usually, I think, the endee rather than the ender. At this point, feeling completely worthless and eternally unloveable, and much along the lines of "Please God, kill me now!"-- any sort of opportunity for someone to treat you lovingly is probably going to be taken a little too seriously. I.e., without regard as to whether you're really compatible with this other person. Rebounding is not the answer to a broken heart, but it probably feels like it at the time.
