I Need to get a Girlfriend fast

I am sorry. It is not what you think. It is the typical response of guys who broke up from long term relationships or those who plan to dump their girlfriends wanting to find a replacement fast to fill in the void and loneliness caused by the break up.  There are many instances where women dump men too and even in such cases the affected men lookout for women to fill the void created by the lost relationship and to prove that they are worthy of love and affection from the opposite sex. Many Men get into rebound relationships or dating to prove to their Ex’s that they can get another or probably a better girl than the Ex.

Majority of times when a break up happens people lose their self esteem and confidence and in order to restore that turn to quick fix relationships. They do this in hope that they would be able to forget the hurt and pain caused by the broken relationship and to fill the gap which was resulted from the previous relationship. But what they forget is that such relationships on rebound do not last long as they are not based on love and often result in further heart break and pain. Rebounders often tend to forget that in order to bounce back they are using someone and may hurt that person while doing so. Many times it is noticed that many times Ex’s comes back and the rebounder without any thought dumps the person whom they used to bounce back to get back to Ex.

It is true that Breakups are tough but the reasons for majority of breakups are getting into the relationship for the wrong reasons. All relationships need time to become strong and survive all problems. So efforts and time must be given to understand the Partner and not rush into anything too fast. I am not telling that relationships with the right reasons do not fail. Many times that happens too and it is wise to give time for you so that the pain is healed before moving into a new relationship. If you want to bounce back it is better to look for healthy ways to bounce back after a broken relationship than immediately getting into a relationship on rebound.

Does he still talk to his ex, her family and her friends and try to know what is happening in her life through text, email, phone or Facebook? If that is the case, he still nurtures feelings for her and if she is willing to get back to him, he would dump you.
