can rebounds lead to lasting, successful relationships?

yes, no, maybe
>>17494432
No. Not if it's a rebound.
ok I have time to elaborate
>>meet a girl on tinder
>>have a good time, sleep with her
>>see each other roughly once a week over the last month, total of maybe 4 dates
>>mentions being dumped in January after a 3 year long relationship
>>her friends know about me, says stuff like "I enjoy your company" and "these feelings don't happen often"
It's going well but I still this itching feeling of paranoia she's playing me and fucking other guys. From what I can tell all she really does is smoke weed and chill with her best friend/neighbour fairly often. Her tinder profile is also gone from my match list, not sure what that indicates.

you around San Francisco? This sounds 100% identical to a girl I know.

Could have just deleted Tinder which would be a good sign. Or she could have unmatched you, which wouldn't be a good sign but also wouldn't make any sense at all.

occasionally but I wouldn't bank on it
>>17494432
I don't think rebounds can work but again anything can happen
>>17494934
not me anon, but I figure this kinda situation is common

Overwhelmingly no, but it does happen, but you shouldn't let that give you false hope.
If you are in a rebound then you are not over your previous relationship, you haven't mourned its passing or what you had, you have just hopped into another relationship and tried carrying it on (usually progressing the relationship too fast and not bothering to actually learning about your new SO).
Its like having a pet dog, you have that dog for years, then it dies, but instead of mourning your dog, you run out and buy another dog of a similar breed and name it after your dead dog, it rarely turns out well and looks odd to others with the faults being glaringly obvious.
