I thought rebound relationships were something you'd get into unintentionally by overcompensating for what was lacking in the previous relationship, and that you wouldn't realize that they were rebound relationships until they'd ended. But I suppose you could do it intentionally. Seems a bit like a dead-end prospect though.

Maybe, I wasn't sure.

But I thought the point is that it's dead-end, and that it's just an aid in helping you get over your ex so you can then move on to someone that you can give your all to.

I thought it meant either intentionally or unintentionally entering a new relationship before the previous one is resolved/got over etc. Like dating someone while still nursing a broken heart. I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily, a new love (provided they ARE one - I agree it would be a dead end if you'd start seeing someone you don't develop deeper feelings for) is great to move on from the previous one.

At least it must feel encouraging that you've realized you're ready for giving your all, as long as you can find the right guy? It can be really demoralizing to go on date after date without feeling like anything even comes close.

Yes.

See, I'm finally starting to grow up!

You'll find somebody.

I know.

Probably just not around here...at least not again. Last dude was a transplant like me...so the odds of finding someone like that again and falling for them is pretty low.

I know how you feel. I like and get along with the women around here, but none of them come close to being interesting as a life-long romantic companion. We're big fish in small ponds you and I!

I don't think retina was commenting on your body type; I think it was a statement on your outsized, outgoing personality here on the Org and how it is probably reflective in your everyday relations with people. I think you're too cosmopolitan for your area of New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia, or wherever you moved to from Ontario.

No, what I meant to say was that in the village of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Or wait a minute, that didn't sound right either. If your town was a silly fairy tale, you'd be the ugly duckling. No, no...

If your brilliance somehow came into physical existence, it would crush everything it sat on. No, wait! Ack!

Ok fine, I called you fat.

Even your neutral face is round and jolly.

I am convinced this was filmed in my area. However, I am prety sure the production year is 2012 not the 80s.
