To get over a guy. . .

Do you believe it's true that "to get over a guy you must get under another"? The saying pretty much saying that to get over a guy, you have to move on and get another guy.

A lot of people actually say this to me, some say it jokingly but I do partially believe in the saying. I've done this before and it does help to move on but I wouldn't reccomend anyone to do this because you don't want to just get a rebound since it can lead to the other person getting hurt when they find out/realize they are just a rebound. I think it's better to just be single for awhile and let the pain heal on it's own. What do you guys think? Have you done the rebound thing? How did that go?

I agree with you on just being single && just let your wounded heart heal; i don't think that it would be right or fair to the next guy by making him your rebound && treating him how your ex did to you;he dosen't derseve to be treated that way && not completly over your ex && what he did to you;your better off just being single && focusing on your self

No, I do not believe that "to get over a guy you must get under another" (sexually or non-sexually). For some people, maybe it does help them to cope or feel better about themselves, and for others, maybe it doesn't. I find it highly unbelievable that it does & would never condone it, I would expect it to only make things & make the person feel worse. Besides, it isn't fair to the other person you may or may not be leading on.

But then again I haven't been in that situation before, nor would I put myself there, and haven't ever felt that way. I've only been with one man in my life, but I can say this for sure: I would never use another person in that way; as a rebound (sexually or non-sexually). I would never degrade myself in that way as a women or as an individual nor degrade another person. I have more self-respect for myself than that & respect for other people.

I think it's best to learn to let go them, to heal & move on with your life on your own; become independent of yourself rather than dependent on another.

I agree on most what has been said before^^

In fact,the break up is a hard experience to live,so I think we need time to heal and then to move on.

Therefore,we don't need a guy to make us forget or to feel better.
