Men who are on the rebound can appear to be the most emotionally healthy, grounded and well-adjusted ones out there. That’s because they’re on the “Fake it ‘til you make it” plan. They need to believe that they are okay, so they play the role of the totally happy guy very well. Can you blame them?

In fact, it’s the very reason a lot of women are shocked to discover that (damnit!) they were a guy’s rebound! He seemed so invested, so sane, and so…not heartbroken about an ex. Well, he was a good actor. But you need to protect yourself, too. Here are early, sneaky signs you’re his rebound.
