   After 3 months, that’s a rebound? :P Weird.

   What’s the appropriate time limit on rebounds?

   I guess I should ask what’s the “typical” time limit on rebounds? I was just basing this comic on personal experience.

   Maybe 20 years counts as a sufficient rebound period

   Don’t you think “rebound periods” are subjective? I consider the first person you date after a breakup to be a “rebound” regardless of how long it takes to meet that person – 2 days, 3 months, 20 years. Anyone else have more wisdom they can drop on this subject?

   There’s a belief among chicks that however long you date somebody is how long it will take you to get over him. Riding that concept, I’d say that the rebound period is a function of the duration of the original relationship. The first person you date is a rebound unless you waited longer than the previous relationship, in which case you are rebound free. I would posit that for any meaningful relationship, the “waiting” strategy is much less viable than the “get the inevitable rebound out of the way” strategy.

   Interesting theory . . .

    That “equal time” is pretty effective, for the most part. Still, I think that 3 months wouldn’t be a bad period of time for the next date not to be a rebound.

    Whenever I hear about rebounds, I can’t help but think about Michael Scott, when he dated the waitress from Benihana.

    Classic episode, and it’s seasonal as well. Two points for DJ.

    I feel sorry for any girl who IS the rebound. Hurting is bound to happen. Don’t let Max be that jerk, Wes!

    I know some people who have married their rebound… must’ve been a killer bounce.
