Rebound is an internet slang term used to refer to someone who starts a new romantic relationship shortly after the end of a previous one. It typically implies that the person is using this new relationship as a way to cope with the emotions and pain caused by the previous breakup.
Examples:
1. After breaking up with his long-term girlfriend, Jack immediately started dating another girl. His friends referred to her as his “rebound” since it seemed like he was using her to fill the void left by his previous relationship.
2. Sarah had only been single for a week when she met a guy at a party and started dating him. Her friends were concerned that she was in a rebound relationship and advised her to take some time for herself to heal before diving into another serious commitment.
