> I think you're asking the wrong question. As a female, if a guy who had gone through a tough breakup in the past 2 or 3 months asked me out, I would think "Uhoh, rebound..." No female wants to be asked out because you need romantic affirmation. or because you feel you should be dating. I especially don't want to be asked out by a guy who is considering *several* females. Forget about the romantic relationship - get to know them, figure out which you truly *are* interested in, get to be friends with all of them. Wait to date until you're far enough removed from the past relationship that your motives for a new relationship truly are healthy, both for you and the girl.

Actually I'm quite good friends with all of them. And I'm kinda past the rebound stage. I was at that point for a good while, but I'm actually interested in entering into a more than casual friendship relationship. I'm at the stage in my life where I would like to find my wife. The reason that I have several girls in mind is because I know some really great people. Not that I just want to "hook up" with a bunch of girls. Trust me. I went through that too. At this point I don't want to commit to one or the other because I want to date them casually first because most of our interaction has been in group situations. However, many of these girls are quite a distance from me so dating some of them without any money may not be possible. But I'm open to suggestions. But that brings up another question. Is there something I could do to let a girl know that I'm not looking for a rebound?
