I just wondering what everyone's opinion is of rebound relationships? Do they ever work out? Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them?

Personally? No I haven't had any myself.

But the ones I've seen (and there are quite a few) usually go down in flames, the two of them never talk again, and my friend(s) end up wishing they had never done it. If you know it's a rebound, I don't think it's all that fair to the other guy. I mean, you're technically just using him to make yourself feel better and that's not really his job description, per say. Plus, like my recently singled friend, his 1 month rebound set him backwards 8000 steps because it made him feel undesirable.

But perhaps someone else has a different opinion?

Actually, in a past situation, it did work out. We were together for almost two years, and even lived together!
