How A Rebound Relationship Can Help You Win Her Back

By Samantha Jones

If you have broken up with the love of your life and she is in a rebound relationship, how do you get her back?

A rebound relationship is one where she is dating someone else to get over you. Rebound relationships keep people from having to deal with the emotions of breaking up. They're used to help people move on from a real love.

And this is the key to winning her back. The reason she's in a rebound relationship is because she can't get over her true love ? you!

It does not matter why she lost you. It doesn't matter if it is your fault or hers. It doesn't even matter who actually called the relationship off. What matters is that you have a real love.

Because in almost all cases, a relationship based on true love can be rescued.

In her new rebound relationship, chances are she will have picked a guy who is very different from you. If you were a homebody, he'll be a party animal. If you were shy, he'll be outspoken, and vice versa.

The fact that she is actually focusing on the differences in your styles is actually good for you for two reasons. Her attention is still focused on you even when she's with the new guy. And, it gives you a chance to see what she's looking for.

If she's picked your polar opposite for a rebound relationship, then it most likely means that something was missing from your relationship. Use the (short) time she spends with the rebound guy to work on improving yourself.

Don't try to interfere in the rebound relationship; just let it take its natural course. The fact is as she begins to spend more time with rebound guy, she'll begin noticing his flaws. After a month or so you'll start looking like a pretty attractive option.

This is why you don't want her to come running right back. She needs time for the idea to sink in that she misses the good things in the relationship she had with you. When she does finally make her move, be gracious. Welcome her back with open arms. Do show her your new, improved self, but don't chase after her.

Here are some specific steps to take when your ex is in a rebound relationship:

? Don't try to convince her that you are the love of her life. Let her discover this on her own.

? Don't overdo your apologies. You can apologize if you know you really did something wrong. But apologize once, sincerely, and then move on. She knows the true reason she loves you.

? Don't make promises to change. You are who you are and that's who she fell in love with.

? Don't try to make her see that it wasn't your fault. She will come to appreciate that over time ? but only if you haven't made her invest energy in defending her position that it was your fault.

? Don't ever beg or grovel for her to take you back.

Rest assured that if your ex starts dating somebody right after you break up, it's a rebound relationship. Don't lose heart. A rebound relationship is a sign that she really does love you, and you'll have the opportunity to make up and win her back. - 15615
