Last night, I was at dinner with several women and we pondered a topic that left us just as confused when we left the table as when we sat down to ponder the question. I would like to pose it to you ladies to see if you have any answers. The question is this-how can men rebound so fast and so hard? The experience that several of us have had at the table was that these men would be involved in serious relationships, espousing dedication and complete adoration. But, as soon as the relationships had ended, the guys could not stand to be alone. It seems as if some guys cannot bear to be without a female companion. Yet, the opinion of the women I spoke to, was that we all feel the need for a mourning period, even when we break it off. Most women feel it wouldn't be fair to the guy who would be our rebound, so we just don't date for a while-rather we go to the gym more, eat lots of chocolate icecream, watch sappy movies and spend many evenings drinking with the girls. The length of time spent within a serious relationship demands time for a person's heart to regain the capacity to care deeply for another individual, so what gives? Any insight, ladies? Have you had any recent epiphanies or revelations?
