All of a sudden though, things have fallen apart, and the man of your dreams is now on the market again. Naturally, you're ready to jump into the void in his life and be there for him. But before you make a serious mistake, you need to understand what's happening in his life and what you can do to avoid unintended consequences further down the line. You might be tempted to offer him your shoulder to cry on, but if you go that route, you need to handle yourself carefully. Right now, the guy is probably going through a difficult time and that means he's going to be open to having someone be his rebound girl. You've probably seen a rebound girl before she's the girl that a guy goes out with after he's broken up with a serious girlfriend. His ego is hurt and here's a girl who says to the world, "Okay, I might not have made my last relationship work out, but I can still get someone interested in me." The trouble with catching a guy on the rebound is that it's usually not going to last. Yes, there are couples who have made it work out. They're the exception and not the rule, though. More often than not, a rebound relationship is just going to fall by the wayside. What usually happens is that the man begins to get his self-confidence back and before you know it, he's looking for someone to get serious about with and it's usually not the rebound girl. What can you do, then, when the guy you want is available again? First, you can make sure that you're there when he needs a friend. It's important to take it slow, though. He's just wound up getting his heart stepped on and it's possible that he's not even thinking about a relationship right now. But, if you're only there to offer him support, he's not going to feel threatened by having you around. Keep in mind that you don't want to become "one of the guys" either. Instead, be close to him, let him know that you're on his side, and also make sure he sees that you're a woman. At first, you'll want to keep it casual, but as time progresses and he gets more and more secure in himself, you can dress up when you go out and you can turn up the heat. That way, he'll get a good look at you as someone who is not only his friend but as a single and attractive woman who's spending time with him. From that point on, if he's interested in you, you'll have the knowledge that he wants to be with you because of who you are and not because he needs someone on the rebound. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Stafford, Relationship Coach, I show singles how to get married and couples how to STAY married Do you want more from your relationship?
