One of the things people asked me after I broke up with my ex was ‘when are you going to have your rebound fling?’

At first I had no interest, being too busy deluding myself that he would miss me so much that he’d beg me to come back. But it soon dawned on me that not only was that not going to happen, but perhaps I didn’t want to go back. And I don’t believe in the rebound fling. Especially as the definition made it sound so utterly unattractive.
