Re:Signed the papers! browngreen: I'm not sure if I should wait until the papers are signed and the decree is given to rebound, or if it's OK to start now.
That is, if I can even FIND anyone to rebound with!
I'm pretty picky in my old age!
I know it won't be as fulfilling as I think it would be now, but I feel the urge anyway. Nothing says "Moving on" like bedding someone new.
Am I weird?
MAybe I can find a way to send the message to my brain without actually having a rebound?
I dunno. I do'nt feel patient at present, and again think you're lucky to be free and able to leave her in the past now.

Re:Signed the papers! jen: BG -
You are not weird! I think that it will happen when you are ready for it, and not before... and whether it is okay to start now is up to you and how you feel about it. I can so relate to wanting the rebound over with...not even sure what the exact requirements are to consider something a rebound - who knows, maybe its already happened...does it have to become a relationship in order for it to be a rebound?...and since I'm pretty picky, too, I wonder how easy it will actually be to even find it...lol ;)
yes, bedding someone new can say "moving on" in some ways, but like BR said, it can also be unfulfilling...
BR - I'm with you on learning how to figure out how to "casually date". It's just something we will have to learn how to do.

Re:Signed the papers! BigRunner493: i'm glad i'm not weird!!! jj..mtmo.
i've got friends trying to set me up on dates etc, but i like for it to happen naturally. i believe in the friends first type relationship and that is hard to develop from starting with dinner and a movie!!
i've never had that "bedding" time in my life and part of me wants to experience that before i settle down again. but the other part want to provide a stable life for my kids' sake; so that they see their daddy happy, whatever that takes.
