This morning. Is now hanging out alone with a. Guy she met and has been spending time with alone
And she said she may flirt with him and stuff but she isnt sure if its too soon and if he will trust her as a gf.

What should I even say? Shes asking me for advice but I kinda dont even agree with what shes doing in the first place.

Try to express this in a non-confronting manner than. She SHOULD understand where you are coming from if you really are close friends.

This, and she was probably already seeing or.. "seeing," this other guy before she broke up with her bf. That's how girls do. Always have another guy in place before moving on.

Im 21, shes 20 turning 21 this semester. Her ex is 21, new guy is idk I think she said 24+ I guess he worked for his dad before coming to college. Idk what probably construction because he is well built and looks strong
She dated her ex uhh. I wanna say 5 ish months?

Well. She is dating him this weekend even though she said she would hang out with me and some guy I know so now I gotta cancel cuz I dont wanna hang with him alone and...well my other friends will misinterpret it I think.

She isnt my best friend in college (that girl is super awesome but shes single now and taking time to herself, she is so cute and were similar and she isnt in town this weekend)

Anyway!

Idk if its a rebound!
I heard about rebounds but idk exactly what counts I think she finds the guy really attractive and he is definitely interested in her and I KNOW that he wouldnt mind getting her a bit drunk since he can buy alcohol, and shes drink to seem cool but hes a super low tolerance because thats happened before at a party but not alone so idk. I worry about that potential situation but also Idk if she kinda wants that situation either.
But I dont want to say that to her

Rebound is someone to specifically fill the space the previous guy left behind, and are often used in direct comparisons to the one they're rebounding from.

I feel like she emotionally cheated then chose the hotter guy. I mean maybe they connect a lot more too but the new guy is def hotter.

I'd just let her do her thing then. Maybe it's a mistake, maybe it isn't. But people *can* move on like that and have it be legitimate.

Hes cool.
I just dont want to give him wrong ideas OR have some talk about how its platonic and look like a total idiot especially if he isnt into me.

Encourage her to date the rebound guy.

When it goes south, be supportive and make sure she can't see or hear you laugh.

There's fun to be had with this.

If she's in her 20's and wants to fuck around, let her fuck around. And if she later regrets dumping the ex because she gets used like tissue by the new guy, oh well. Learning experiences are part of dating.

My friends paint themselves into corners all the time by hastily trading old partners for new ones they later regret. The "falls" are valuable lessons in teaching them better priorities. Stepping in to rescue or scold them doesn't teach them a damn thing.

To me, being truly supportive of my friends is not interfering with them making their own relationship choices. After all, the typical break up is not a death sentence like bleeding hearts whine about. It's just another story you can tell when you're old.

The reasons I think it cant be a rebound are because shes the one who broke off the relationship so I dont think he is one

An adjustment in behavior maybe, but that's it. This doesn't sound like a rebound and it not being a rebound is 100% possible.
