Quite a good number of people who break up soon form new relationships, and some of them believe that they have found new love.
Is rebound relationship the same as real love? If it is not then why does it feel just as if you in love? How can you differentiate it from real love then? You may be interested in determining the truth whether it is you or your ex who is going through such an experience.
The question is challenging due to the fact that there is plenty of grey area.
  The motives, not the feelings   There are a number of reasons that may make a rebound relationship feel like love.
A rebound relationship is full of intense emotions, just as what you would normally experience when you are really in love.
This means that in order to determine the difference between a rebound relationship and true love, you will need to look elsewhere apart from the emotions.
    Your emotions may be quite intense.
However, are you ready to go ahead and immerse yourself entirely into this new relationship? The answer to this question is what is more important.
Yet it may take quite some time before you even know the real answer yourself.
  Many rebound relationships come to an end when the partner from a broken relationship decides that it is not yet time to move on.
That is when the intense emotions begin to wane.
  However, not all relationships that are established after a break-up fall apart.
This means that not all such associations are mere rebound relationships.
In order to determine the truth, you should seriously ask yourself whether you are ready to commit to that new person.
  How long should you wait before getting into another relationship?   After you have broken up with your ex, you may not be interested in just a rebound relationship.
In such a case, is there a suitable period of time that should elapse before you start dating once more?   Unfortunately, the answer is not as clear cut as you would like.
People are different, and respond in different ways.
However, there is basically a period in which it is too soon to get into another relationship.
Going right from your break-up to a new relationship is more likely to end in a rebound relationship.
  The feelings will be very much like in true love, and this is what makes rebound relationships quite damaging.
When you later realize that you are not ready to move on with the new relationship after all, it can be devastating.
  This means that the difference between a rebound relationship and true love is in your commitment, not your feelings.
