I know its common knowledge, but we may be tempted to think that there are exceptions, or that the rule is so old it doesn't apply anymore. But never, ever go out on a date with someone who has just broken up with their significant other. Of course you are the rebound! Of course you are a momentary escape! Of course you should not trust what they're saying! Because they themselves don't even really know what they are saying.
I know what you're thinking as you're reading. "Ha! This is obvious!" And then you start giggling, "oh wait, did you actually fall for this!?" Yes. Yes, I did. But, I'm writing this not to talk harshly of anyone, or to whine or cry. I'm writing this entry for anyone else who may be like me and interpret a pretty girls interest as something more authentic than a "mood." Friends, do not set yourself up for a disaster. If a girl broke up with her boyfriend, she needs at least 6 months (doesn't matter how long she was dating him, be it 3 months or 3 years) of being single until she's ready to get serious about someone else. She may tell you things like, "I like you so much," or "I can't wait to introduce you to my family." None of it means anything.
Guys, girls, everyone.. don't use people. Don't use them emotionally, physically, or any other ally you can think of. Life is fragile, and everyone breaks very easily. Don't go tipping over very valuable and very beautiful works of art for them to shatter. Nobody will like you if you do.
