I was a rebound twice and I can confirm that those signs are very common. Unfortunately, the first time I didn't escape and it costed me my inner peace, self-esteem and confidence. If you find yourself in a rebound relationship, don't be afraid to leave inmediately. I know it's hard to leave when the girl is hot or you don't want to be alone, but the pain you'll pay for a moment of pleasure doesn't worth it and eventually they'll drop you and you'll be alone anyways. There are a lot of good people in the world that will give you the value you deserve, don't stay with those that treat anothers as new toys.

[@wowthatsfunn2233]

Damn... This one hits me real good 🙃

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

That's actually false. There is no good people in this world, except God. As for those women who give you the value you deserve, you CAN treat those that treat others as new toys. Just kindly and honestly reject them and move on.

I was in a relationship for 6 months with an ex. We broke up on good terms and a few months later I saw her at a party with mutual friends. She drunkenly confessed to me that the whole time she was with me, she was still in love with a guy she used to know back in her college days and that she was still in love with him. She never even dated this guy- he was just the one she could never have. Even though ending our relationship was the right thing to do, it still really hurt to hear that. You deserve better than being someone’s second choice! Don’t be the consolation prize!

I went threw the same my boy, I dated a inmature women for 6 months and she was still talking to her ex that she hooked up before meeting me.

[@15scottie]

All women have one guy stuck in their heads for the rest of their life. If you're not that dude, don't ever get emotionally involved with her, if you do, she'll make your life a living hell. Also, find out if she was dumped. Makes a big difference. If she was, she'll still have a lot of pent up anger & resentment towards all men & she'll only take out all her hatefulness on you.

[@SassyyjuicyMaria]

Or she tells her parents she’s just having fun with you and she’ll find her good Catholic man later.

That's why we have to develop a "no options" rule after we strengthen from pain. You will know if it's you when it's you, so walk away when it isn't.

[@jeffstone7912]

How to keep on being her rebound is: Keep it light. Don’t try to lock her down. Be the driver of the fun bus. Do not call or text all of the time. Date other women. Do not be available all the time. Do not be clingy. Be mysterious. Do not let her know how much you really like her. Let her wonder. Have other options always.

I dated two girls that used me as a rebound and my heart literally hurts. It’s the absolute worst feeling I’ve ever experienced. I never want to date again. Definitely the most depressing thing I’ve felt in a while

[@jessehowell1972]

I once dated a girl on the rebound. She never stopped talking bad about her ex. It was really strange since all three of us went to the same small college, and he lived in the same dorm / hall as me. I will never be that desperate for a girl again. I learned the importance of confidence the hard way. Being with her was hell on earth, she had extreme issues ( Majored in counseling by the way ), along with her gaslighting, enough said.

We live in a university town, I learned when I was 10 years old psych majors are the most commonly fucked up out there. Then I met hundreds of people who reassured that. Of course, it’s not *always* like that. But most people seemingly are in there to try and learn how to either justify or cope with their own serious mental/emotional problems and then try and help others do the same after or during.

[@lupobouguereau8777]

I was the rebound guy , but I knew it within the first 2 weeks of our relationship and even commented on it , which of course was just fluffed off . Many of your signs were very accurate , yet knowing the situation I was in , made sure not to get too emotionally invested . So after a year when she inevitably dump me , I was fine . Sure your pride takes a little bit of a hit , but what I felt most was disappointment and pity for her because I knew she missed out on a great guy who really did care for her . Yes , after a respectable amount of time she did get back together officially with her ex , it lasted less than a week , then she had the nerve to try and cry on my shoulder for support . Lets just say it didn`t go well for her , but I did learn just how little respect she did have for me , so I guess I dodged a bullet there .

[@boytino2646]

My story was different. She pop up in social media one day chat on me,,,while still having a boyfriend,,we chat. We create bond she dump the guy for me,,,that time i was naive didnt know that was wrong. Guess what she done that same thing to me lol

[@selenedavila2512]

So relatable and it’s astonishing how many people out there use other individuals to fill a void. I had this happened to me and deep down I think I knew I was the rebound but throughout a whole year he did all the right things to make me fall in love. After the year he decided I was just a rebound and even told me he cannot love me. Being the rebound hurts but as you said they missed out on a great person.

[@dragh923]

However i know that i tried. I know that i am a great guy and a great boyfriend. I would go to her place and ask her on random dates, bring her flowers which would make her cry of happiness, even though there were days we couldnt see each other, i would randomly call her and tell her i loved her, and at night i made sure that i call her to hear about her day, which would fill the fact that we didnt see each other. I would always call her pretty and compliment her, and when we would fight i would go to her place and solve it face to face. And i know her ex did not do any of those because she even told me that it was the first time someone has ever done that for her.

[@underclassh3r058]

I've been single for 2 years and I'm not stalking her or texting her or anything but I do still bring her up whenever I'm giving dating advice to my friends. I'm not hung up on her...at least I don't believe I am🤔, she just taught me a lot of toxic/hard life lessons.

[@eazymethod01]

This is a good one. There are always transition periods, and you must decide what you want AND if the time is right for it.

[@jamescanfield7251]

There are a lot of girls who have what I call a boyfriend depth chart. One guy does something she doesn’t like, and it’s next man up. It’s usually quick too. There’s never a time where they recover from the previous relationship, and next man...is rebound guy. After a while, she drafts a new starting boyfriend.

[@rumenovv1064]

[@SilverbackOrangutan71]

@@Fullcollapse1 once you understand you have to basically get rid of everybody in your life and rebuild. It’s sucks but you become a very strong person. I will warn you.. while it’s hard to deal with what people will say to you and about you once you cut them off. The hard part is once you understand and set firm boundaries in all relationships you start enjoying yourself and the peace of just sitting in the woods not having to worry about anything other than will the hawk swoop down and catch the rabbit. Learn the things you always wanted to do. Do the things you have always wanted to do. I started riding mountain bikes downstairs.. urban downhill. It drive everybody else away from me.. on the plus side I am pretty well known in mountain biking, I’m a sponsored athlete. I changed my life it changes everything about you. You walk different you talk different just stick with it great things will come. You will cry and doubt your decision.. but what you will reach becomes amazing… just stick with it. You will thank yourself later and in 6 to 8 months… you will look back and say fffoooookkkk I was fooking insane like insane insane for putting up with that bs. Don’t look back on it often- you don’t take an ex back you don’t look back on your life.

Sometimes women are "over" their ex in a non healthy way. My last serious relationship was like that. Her ex hurt her so so much that she shut off from guys and basically closed her heart to me. It was impossible to get her to love me and after 3 years I said enough (yes too long I know) but it's hard to tell, at least for me, about these things

[@levioliver3794]

Yup. Dated someone nearly a year. From almost the start, she was hesitant, unsure, didn’t want to “label it”, wanted to go with the flow all while saying all these amazing things like “It seems to good to be true”. She got weird 3 months in, disappeared for 2 weeks, came back and said her head was a mess and she was afraid of getting hurt cause she had been hurt by a guy after her marriage (Yes, she was still married as well) She really wanted what we had and Finally she committed after that (but not really). I still didn’t meet any of her friends for 6 months. NEVER met parents (They didn’t know I existed). She never talked about future plans. Was even telling me she loved me for months and then out of the blue….. I Love you, but not in love with you. Can’t jump all in, not sure why 🙄. Not in the right place…. Blah blah blah. After a year? Oh, and yes, she admitted this guy still reached out to her but she ignored him (Sure) Why would someone that hurt you still be allowed to reach out to you? Gents, I ignored all of this, I wanted to be trusting, was in love obviously. I’ve never been a rebound before. So this is on me in the end, great learnings and hope you all do too. Just be careful, women these days are just as selfish as some men. Cheers!

There is one reason someone should talk to their ex. They have a child, or children together, and these conversations have everything to do with co-parenting, and the kid(s).

[@KVP94Guitar]

Last year, I dated a girl that told me she was still friends with her exes. I was okay with it at the beginning. Well two weeks into dating her, she tells me one of them was her "soulmate." In my gut I knew something was wrong but didn't do anything about it. Well fast forward 3 months later, she gets jealous that I was talking with one of my friends, runs off and zoom's her "soulmate." Told me that there is nothing between them, but at that point, my trust is completely broken. She would constantly tell me what he would do for a job, she would show me pictures of him, etc. I felt all along that she still had feelings for him, but again, didn't do anything. To be honest, not putting up for this again. She would always talk about not wanting to "waste time" and yet here she was. Thanks for the video Courtney and for helping me feel like I wasn't insane for being suspicious of this. I've spent the last 8 months debating this with myself.

More tips More new life Thanks Courtney for this wonderful tips. Greetings from Brazil

[@andreas6622]

While I agree with everything on this list, I want to make an exception to the "having your ex as a friend topic" since you said you can't see any value in having your ex as a friend. While this is true in most cases, I can't express enough how important it is to maintain a good relationship with your ex if you have children together. This may not come into play until later in life, but when it does, communication is key. It really improves the life quality for everyone involved if you can maintain a good, healthy friendship with your ex in this case. It's important however to be honest with yourself and be sure that you have moved on before starting a life together with someone new. It is also important to be open and honest with your new significant other about this and the reason behind it. The kids are worth it, they deserve to grow up with parents that can act like adults around each other. Thanks for all the great content! Keep up the good work!

[@mikemcgarr7881]

I had a friend do this to me...kind of. We were friends but it became romantic a while after she separated from her Ex as I was supportive due to him *allegedly* being abusive to her. Eventually got a text saying “I’m going back to my ex”. Then when I tried to text her back I was told not to because ‘he’s in the room now’ and then ghosted. Unfortunately two weeks later a mutual friend told me she was with someone else (not the Ex). I suspect she was ‘Monkey Branching’ this guy beforehand. I think a lot of what she was doing was to provoke the ex - pictures of her with someone else on Facebook and that kind of thing. The guy was making sexual comments on her photos. “It’s complicated” as a relationship status... A few red flags that you’ve said in this video happened at the time. She told me ‘he’s with someone else’ and then told me that she’d changed her hair colour because ‘he likes it’ etc...after literally telling me she wanted ‘nothing to do with him’ in the same conversation. It is difficult when you really like someone because you don’t want that to be true, but my advice is don’t ignore those red flags and alarm bells that go off in your head. They happen for a reason.

I thought in the beginning that I could make anyone like me. Never again will I get emotionally attached to someone who was not emotionally available.

[@michaelrespicio5683]

I know what it's like to be a rebound and being able to see some of these signs may have helped. To cut a long story short, my ex and I met in 2019 and "got together" in January 2020 (essentially before covid) and were only together until about June that year without having gone out much then given the peak of the pandemic. It was in June when she announced to me over video (if it was even true) that she got engaged to someone else (yes, you read that right, engaged) and pretended we were no longer together even though she was the one to say she liked me first and wrote a letter wishing we would make lots of memories and stuff. That was about a year ago, I'm over it now, but I basically hate her guts for choosing the wrong way to end things when there was a better way.

Thank you Courtney so much!

[@jleano609]

Not every girl straightens up and flies right from the get go. Especially the younger ones with not too much dating experience. Even if talk of Ex's is minimal during the initial dating phase (and especially if its not) IF you are thinking of actually GFing this girl up then lay out your expectations. If you want me as a BF we're now exclusive, no talking to Exs, rebuff them if they sniff around, dump their social media etc. etc. I'll do the same for you. Very few people actually have this conversation and actually make explicit BF/GF commitments - but they should. Set your boundaries early and enforce them!

[@harrasingh998]

I wish this video was made a few years ago when I was with a psychotic girl who kept comparing me to her ex and how he made her feel special and her male friends especially at the time when I was overweight and insecure about myself.

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

Excellent words of wisdom Courtney. One of the biggest mistakes i used to make when talking to girls was talking about past relationships. Guys should never do that. Don't ask about exs. Even worse if you date a single mother, it's definitely gonna come up about the woman ex. Some things are better left unsaid and not done.

[@CourtneyRyan]

I totally agree. I think sometimes curiosity can get the best of us but it’s honestly better to just not ask sometimes 😂👏🏼

[@jleano609]

Yep, don't talk about it. Keep it light and breezy in initial dating. If she starts asking you about exes it's probably a good sign. Keep quiet and see if SHE brings it up and then say you'll tell her if she tells you about her exes first! Nothing comes for free!

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

@@jleano609 amen to that! Thanks for the excellent advice. I will definitely keep it in mind for future interactions with women. You definitely know your stuff 😁👍🏼

[@Lonstermash]

But what do you do, then, when a girl asks you why you got divorced or what was your longest relationship, and why didn't it work out? In my case, especially since my disastrous marriage only lasted one year, I want to make sure a woman knows that it ended because her drinking got out of control and led to some unacceptable behaviors

[@Lonstermash]

@@jleano609 I've done that, and she's more than happy to tell me about why her relationships (especially if she was actually married) failed. It's usually been a healthy discussion that in many ways bonded us, so I'm not sure it's necessarily a bad thing. Also, it can enlighten you early on as to your potential compatibility

We all have good communication, and the "feelings" of love between my ex and I are that of friendship love.

@@Dasher49225 She did keep her vows. There was no cheating or abuse or anything bad at all on either end. Again, we might be a rare exception to the rules. Before getting married, we were both on the same level of not wanting to have children. Over time, she did change her mind. It is very reasonable too. That is one fundamental that I wouldn't change, however, I would never take that right away from her. Not going to say it was easy emotionally, but it was the right thing for both of us to do. She now has a daughter with her present fiance.

Very true all your points Courtney especially point #3 and the worst thing is that I was planning to get serious in my relationship with her and ended up purchasing her engagement ring 😅😅 so she can broke up with me 1 month later after 11 months of dating her. Thanks for your tips

Rebound relationships are a bit like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. Psychologically you may convince yourself it works, but deep down there's a lot of healing to be done. Happened to one of my best friends. We both came out of 4 year relationships around the same time. I focused on myself and healed. He got into 3 relationships within 5 months. Ironically he's a psychologist, but rather than looking inward, he continued to seek external gratification. Luckily, I managed to get through to him eventually and he's growing from it.

[@emanspi]

I still heart broken after a month of no contact. She actually said that I was the rebound and it tore my heart to shreds. I really don't know what to do as I am still missing her. It's crazy.

[@Chris-pi4qs]

In my opinion the only time it would be "ok" to stay in contact with an ex, is for a child or children.

[@Albanianguy9]

Heyyy our girl is over 100k now🤓

It’s not toxic to go through your partners phone if you suspect that they’re being disloyal. Loyalty is huge in a relationship , especially for men. And if your partner is being private with their phone there’s obviously a reason for that. Phones is a tel tale sign that something is wrong and she is either emotionally cheating or physically cheating. Then they will gaslight you by saying you “broke trust” meanwhile they already broke it long ago when they decided to emotionally cheat. Big red flag

[@toddsmith346]

Wow bro you need therapist ! Respectfully!

[@educatedblkman5117]

@@toddsmith346 you need a dating coach, respectfully!

[@marching27]

yeah----- I do think being secretive about a phone is a bad sign, had one dude snatch it up super fast when all I was doing was picking it up to move tables, had no plans of opening it up at all. Ended things a bit too late with that dude but, still, learning to see red flags. Oh! But I do think snooping in general is bad, because.... I had my personal diary in my phone, and I didn't care if the BF I had at the time looked through my phone. He read my diary from back from 1 year prior to meeting him, and he got mad I had the hots for a different dude at that time and accused me of cheating. Things simmered down after a while but once ur partner reads through ur private diary from a long time ago without your permission, and then they accuse you of things that didn't happen?? I later found out he was cheating himself.... and I realized him looking through my phone was a way for him to justify his behavior. I was pretty miffed.

Courtney, I had a weird situation. I had a GF in Peru and almost moved there. I realized that I couldn't live with her, so I ended the relationship about four years ago. She'd cared for this stray cat that I brought back with me, and he's my BEST BUD; I couldn't ask for a more faithful, loving, and loyal cat! Anyway, she still wanted to talk, so she could see him and know how he's doing. I agreed because, without her, he wouldn't have lived long enough for me to bring him back to the US. It was sort of like divorced parents talking because they have kids. Earlier this summer, she said that she wanted to see Son of Tiger, and I just ignored the request; I didn't talk to her. I must confess that, though we broke up on decent terms, it felt good.

[@jasonj87]

I really can't stand the one that would complain to me about their boyfriend that she's trying "to fix" and yet she acts happy around him after she unloads her emotions on him and expects me to support her emotions. Yet she would keep taking him back. I know this is a few years back but Im using that emotion to protect myself from getting into that situation again.

[@jon5833]

Wow my ex had all of these signs... good thing I got rid of her after 3 months.

[@KarelChytilArt]

Thanks madam. I was not as rebound but my ex is in rebound relationship now. Sometimes everything looks Crazy. Edit: like your fashion style

[@gideonkipkemoi7996]

I'm dating a girl who broke up with a girl for 10yrs and she keeps talking about him constantly she knows all his moves and yet they broke up. Thanks Courtney.

[@giftnice7440]

i can recommend you to a man who helped me bring back my ex permanently he can also help you

[@thelegendofdarius]

I was about to be in a relationship with this girl (by the way I’m Autistic, Never been in a proper relationship before) this girl knew that I like her, but I had a feeling that she never accepted me for being autistic. she did indeed was newly in a relationship with a guy, Like a year later she went back to her ex. To me was very devastated like I could’ve been The one for her. 🥺

[@vegasneb8234]

Keep your head up and know at the right time you’ll find a women that will love you for who you are.

[@jctorres6112]

💪🏽✌🏾

[@stevenjimenez7996]

Bruh I literally going through same thing fuck I saw her Insta story but sadly I think she went back to his ugly ass boy. But aye I have to focus on myself cause gotta save my 💵 money

[@ShawtyMoe954]

Sorry you had to go thru that. Keep pushing ahead didn't deserve you

[@packrcch]

courtney: i would like to see a video from you about dating a single mother and the communication between her and the father of the child . the new guy can be in second place when he walks in the door but I can be even worse if the ex/ father is also a factor .

[@philmccloskey1013]

Went to hang with this girl and within the first 20 minutes she told me about how “my ex treated me badly in the 5 years we were together”. Knew he was still in the picture since she also said they broke up.

[@levioliver3794]

I went on some dates with a women, slept together on the first, she talked about her ex CONSTANTLY. Luckily I’ve learned a lot, told her straight up she was not over him and she was upset with me. We stayed in touch, few months later, she was back with the ex and has since moved back in. She FULLY ADMITTED I was right. Still friends, she complains at him and it won’t last, BUT proud to say I recognized it and held that boundary 😊

[@angelulloa7407]

I love your videos.

[@Lonstermash]

It seems to me that I and the guys I know recover much quicker and easily get into a serious relationship quicker than the women I know. For me, it's simple.....life is short, and you're only going to be young and attractive once, so why brood about someone for a long time when it can't work out and potentially miss out on someone new who could be much better for you?

[@rodneywhite5888]

Me and my ex was still having sex while she was with her current so called boyfriend that she suppose to be in love with.Doesnt make sense to me at all!

[@zanewelton2003]

When a dude tells you in front of both you and she lied to your face about it when you just got done having a convo about forgiveness for sketchy behavior and potential cheating for the sake of the relationship to evolve beyond where it was ...then she gos and says he only said that because she refused to give it up to the other dude ....aint that some shit i find it mind numbing how i was thought to be so naive...crazy as ot is though she got hit in a crosswalk and well ... I'm holding off on moving on because I genuinely care and have love for this woman. Despite her shame and deceptions i want to show her im not like every other man that treated her like a piece of meat. But if its over its over.

[@nigel4184]

number 4 is my situation with a girl right now "she still talks to her ex" like you said why put the other person in that situation if you truly want to build something new with someone. there's no value to this and its disrespectful to the other person and how do you trust a person like that.

[@willfrancis6941]

Will you ever do a collab(Teddy doesn’t count lol) or long form interview/podcast?Its cool to hear from content creators in different settings.

[@CourtneyRyan]

Yes! I’m going to be on a popular channel at the end of May actually 😊

[@johnmcgehee5484]

My now-ex was like this. He cheated on her after years together, and she didn’t take adequate time to process it before she started dating again. I don’t even know if she realizes she was doing these things. I don’t think she missed him per se, but rather the life she imagined she had and would have. She can’t be all in if one foot is still in the past.

[@johnmcfetridge3974]

Really cool Courtney. Haven't seen a video about this. It's what I do any more. Sad lol. Interesting real stuff. 100k➡️➡️➡️

[@guillermobravo4424]

My wife used to accept compliments from her ex while we were going out (he was a married man by the way). Not only that but she invited him to our wedding. I found out about this after marrying her.
