"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Ok, so I met this girl last week and went out with her today. Turns out she dated some guy for 2 years, and they broke up about a month ago. She said it wasn't a "civilized" breakup and that they still talk occasionally. That was all she said about it, and she didn't seem like she was hiding any baggage about the situation.

We had fun when we were out, and it appears she is interested in me

So, my question is...do you think she is looking at me as a potential rebound? And, what do you think I should do?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

A girl doesn't "look" for a rebound guy...he just sort of stumbles in to her path on her way to "Over The Ex". And yes, if you are the first guy that she's dated since the break up then you are probably going to be "The Rebound Guy". She'll fall for you madly, then wake up four-five months from now, look at you and scream "What the bloody hell was I thinking?"

Funny thing is, I've seen some "Rebound Guys" hold it together for an LTR.

I was under the impression that a rebound was something you did look for.

The point of this being to
1. to make your time without your ex more exciting (dating someone...anyone...instead of no one)
2. make your ex jealous

For what its worth, we seem to have a decent amount in common. Now, this can go along with what watertiger says about falling madly for me and then waking up one day horrified (lol).

On the other hand, with my figuring of what a rebound is....there wouldn't be too much in common. It would be a very superficial "relationship" where its more like you're single, I'm single, we have fun hanging out but besides that, we have absolutely nothing in common, but lets start dating. Then it fizzles out sometime not to long after that.
