Avoid the Rubberband Effect

You've heard before of rebound relationships. I'll mention them again, because people continue to make this mistake time and time again. Do not bounce back into a relationship immediately after a break-up. It is a very vulnerable and emotional time for you. If you meet somebody that you're certain is Mr. or Ms. Right, wait! If they're right for you, then they'll be right for you four months down the road. You don't want to start a relationship with someone just because lonely and hurting. It isn't fair to them or to you. Enjoy the time alone and enjoy being yourself for a little while.

When the time is right, start dating again. And you will know when the time is right.
