dating someone on the rebound

[rumred]

Advice please. Is it wise? is it ok? any experiences that help me decide if its wise for me to do this or not? I'm not on the rebound but have been on a date with someone who I reckon is- her relationship ended a month ago when she discovered her ex had cheated. she seems clear its completely over.

We know one another already so I know shes sound. Im just a bit worried about starting something that is destined to fail, if indeed it is

All views appreciated

how long was she with her ex for?

It is destined to fail.

I dated someone when I was "on the rebound" and it lasted for 7 years.

Of course I knew how well I was dealing with it, because I was that person.

she was with her 5 years. so significant. and they are still friends, which seems odd but I didn't know them as a couple

I split with my ex of 10 years last year for the same circumstances. For the past few months that followed I made bad choices, was totally messed up and clung on to whatever attention I could get to validate me. So because of that, I'd say be cautious. Very cautious

Sorry toddler appeared. If they knew some time ago their relationship was over then possibly ok, but unlikely.
