How To Spot A Guy On The Rebound

He may seem like the perfect guy, but there’s a chance he’s still suffering from the backlash of a broken relationship.

• He wants an instant girlfriend. A guy who’s still pining for his last partner will often want to couple up-fast. Seems odd, but he’s driven to recreate the commitment level of the last relationship because he’s seeking comfort and wants to plug the hole she’s left in his life.
• He’s a really good listener. When a guy is curious to know all about you-and your relationship past-that’s a good thing. But when he’s not revealing anything about himself, he may not want to get into his history because his love past is a touchy topic. To figure out if he’s genuinely interested, note body language that indicates sincerity, such as a cocked head.
• He’s a little bitter. Men who aren’t quite finished with a former flame may give themselves away with a passive-aggressive compliment, like “Women are materialistic....But of course, you’re different.” When a guy has a lot of unresolved feelings from a past relationship, he can’t completely hide his anger.
