Blue’s Back In Black
Q. Dear YLMT,
Thanks for the previous advice. I needed a laugh. And the good news is, I’m through feeling sorry for myself. I’m still kinda bitter about how things went down, but getting dumped will do that to you. (FTR, I’m only bitter about that guy and that relationship, not men/love in general.) So it’s time to get back out there. Right? Or are rebounds automatically doomed? I’d hate to waste a good guy on bad timing. -Blue
A. Glad to hear the meds paid off. As for your current predicament, popular opinion will tell you that rebounds will end unhappily for all parties involved. But who’s to say that wouldn’t happen in a new relationship with better timing? Were it not for rebound relationships, there’d be no Harlow Madden, Heather Mills wouldn’t have met/married/divorced Paul McCartney been awarded $50 million, and the movie-going public would have been spared El Cantare. Admittedly, some of these things are better than others, but the world would be a little worse off without them.
Now before you follow in their famous footsteps and marry the first guy who buys you a whiskey sour, I’d strongly recommend that you take things slow. Like snail-pace slow. Like trying to turn-a-bill-into-a-law slow. Lest we forget, just a few weeks ago you were still hoping your ex would change his mind. You may not be ready for a LTR right off the bat, but a date or two won’t hurt.
