Has anyone ever been in this situation where a girl is trying to overcome a really hard relationship and she has a lot of interest in you, but then you later realize that you were a reobound? This happened to me fairly recently and now she considers me her best guy friend. How do you recognize and overcome this type of relationship? Right now, I'm certain that I've already out of the running, but I was wondering what to do in the future
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
How Do You Overcome the Rebound?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Don't chase another man's table scraps. Next her as soon as she starts pulling this crap. Ex boyfriend or not, if this girl was even remotely interested in you then you'd be with her right now. If she had high IL in you she would have completely forgotten about her ex by now. Real men don't sit around and wait.
Wait...you're only a rebound if she ****s you because she's upset over her relationship. If she friends you because of her relationship, well, then you're not a rebound, you're just a friend. 
There are ways to get out of the friendzone (as long as you've not dated), but I'm no expert there, so you'll have to wait for someone else to answer.

Being the rebound guy, theres only one thing to do. Bang her senseless.
Don't try anything else.
If she wants a relationship give her time. Use that time to bang other women.

I've had sex a few times taking advantage of the rebound factor :
girl : Ya, I just broke up with my bf ...
Me : Well, I know what you need... a REBOUND!! *points to self*
(some chicks get offended tho)

Time will heal you, as it does with most things
There's nothing you really need to do in the future. If you ever get in a situation with a recovering girl, you will remember the hardship you felt from the previous girl, & know it's a no go area
