After a month of patiently waiting for your heart to heal and your life to be put back together, you might feel youre ready to pursue your ex once again and convince him that youre ready for a more serious and better relationship with him. However, what do you do when you find hes dating someone else?

You relax and wait just a little longer. What your ex is doing is participating in a little rebound relationship. This is a relationship that isnt harmful but is, in fact, very helpful for the person just coming out of a breakup. The rebound relationship is a way for your ex to heal a little and start building up confidence again. You have no reason to feel threatened over this relationship because they rarely last over two weeks (in fact, 95 percent of all rebounds diminish within two weeks).

You should be glad that your ex is at a point of being willing to go out and date again because hes preparing his heart for another serious relationship.

You should take advantage of this because you just might be able to work yourself back in his mind if you play just right.

A rebound relationship does nothing to eliminate memories of you. In fact, they might even enhance the memories he has of you. A rebound gives him an opportunity to figure out what went wrong the first time so he can correct his mistakes and make the shot the second time.

You might even be wise to consider a little rebound relationship of your own. Your self-confidence will rise to an astounding level that will help you in your goal of winning back your ex. If youre serious about getting your ex back, let him take the time he needs to heal and if that means he needs a rebound relationship dont become petty and jealous and try to ruin his happiness.
