Rebound relationships never go anywhere - it may help that person feel temporarily better from her/his previous heartbreak but it doesnt help that person heal long term.
Time and spending time alone helps the person get over the previous relationship so can get into another relationship with open & healed heart, not on rebound. Most go on rebound out of desperation and fear of being alone.
They say that for every five years of marriage, it takes one to two years to recover. So never never date a man who just got out of divorce 
but make sure he has recovered and that you are not his "rebound" to avoid heartbreak.
