You see your ex and you can’t help but wonder if things between you are really over. Is he just giving up on you so quickly. The pain and isolation that comes from seeing your ex with another woman is so powerful all you wish to do is fade into oblivion. Why? You just want is to get your ex back. How is it possible when he looks happy with another girl?

Don’t let this sight bog you down with senseless worry that will do you nor your relationship any good. Chances are what you’re seeing is the display of a rebound relationship. Shake off the worry and realize that most rebounds barely make it to a third week. Your ex is just doing what he needs to in order to recover.

If you know anything about basketball you should know that a rebound is a good thing. What "rebound" means is getting a chance at another shot. Don’t get discouraged that you’re not the rebound. Your ex may have just needed better footing and a chance to find his ground again. No rebound means your ex is going to just forget all about you. You’ve made a great impact in his life and that’s not going to change over a few drinks with another girl. The rebound also has a chance of making your ex see what he cherished about you that he may have lost sight of.

Chances are your ex just needed a bit of a different scene. This isn’t bad. It’s kind of like when you went through the rebellious stage and tried to do everything you could to upset your parents. You wanted change things up a bit. Your ex is feeling the same right now. He feels that it didn’t work with you so something different should work. However, once he gets his scenery changed, he’ll be able to see what he’ll miss out on when you’re no longer a part of his life.

It wouldn’t hurt for you to go out a few times yourself. This isn’t a quest for your soul mate, just someone to make you feel special again. You’ll be amazed at how confident you’ll get after a few good dates. That confidence will make you shine when you are ready to approach your ex about getting back together.
