I thought the same thing when I read this. I love Alison and she gives great advice. But this is the one thing she and I don't see eye to eye on as far as break ups go. I've rebounded before and it just made things worse. I would have done a lot better if I had just given myself a while to not have anything to do with guys. I agree with you, Kevin.

If a girl, or even a guy for that matter, is just not in the right frame of mind to date someone new, then they should take time away from it. It's stupid to just jump right back in while you are still hurting, and it's totally self-centered for a girl to use a guy as a rebound, unless they specifically make it clear that he is only a rebound. But come on, who is going to say that. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I have been used as a rebound before just to make the girl feel better after being dumped, and the entire time, I thought her feelings were genuine. I can't help but generalize and say that women seem to think that they are the only ones that get hurt or even risk gettin ghurt in a relationship....women do terrible things to men...it's just that women are more vocal and love to openly complain about bad past relationships, so there is some overall misconception that women are always innocent and guys are jerks. “Don’t let anyone tell you that you need time to take time away from dating”
