Rebound relationships always seem so attractive at first, but there are may reasons to avoid them. The number one reason to avoid them is that it takes two to tango and two to break up. You may blame all of the problems on your last significant other, but the truth is, it was both of you. Avoid taking the same old bad habits into a brand new relationship. Some self examination and personal growth are in order before you begin again. Become whole and happy on your own and you will have more to contribute to a new love.

Feeling Empty

One of the main reasons people get involved in rebound relationships is to fill an empty space left by the loss of their special love. Can I be totally honest? Grieving that loss is perfectly ok and feeling empty for a time is normal. But a great, big, painful hole in your heart, that simply will not go away, cannot be healed by bringing someone new into the picture. Two incomplete people do not make a complete couple. Two complete, healthy people make a complete, healthy couple.

Find out what is really missing within you and fill up the empty space before you get seriously involved again. Once you are complete and whole, you will attract healthier, happier people into your life.

Ask God to bring the right person your way, and work on becoming the right person yourself.

2 Cor 13:11
Finally, brethren farewell (rejoice)! Be strengthened (perfected, completed, made what you ought to be); be encouraged and consoled and comforted; be of the same [agreeable] mind one with another; live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you.

Avoid those rebound relationships and work on yourself.
