    Guys who become ex-boyfriends struggle to deal with the emotional repercussions of a breakup. Once a breakup happens, they quickly look for a distraction. Some guys start working on a new project, join a gym, and others find a new girlfriend.

    In finding a new girlfriend, he gets to replace you and pretend as though the breakup never happened. His intention is to do everything in his power not to think about the relationship and the breakup. Although it is hurtful to see an ex-boyfriend go straight to dating sites after a difficult breakup, this is how he processes the breakup.

    He thinks that by getting on dating sites, the matches he receives will provide a distraction. Getting matches from girls on dating sites gives him a boost to the ego. An ego that has taken a massive hit after going through a breakup with you.

    And additionally, he wants to quickly find a new girl to replace you so that he doesn’t have to spend too much time missing you. This new girl won’t be ideal. She would be a rebound girl. Rebound relationships rarely work out because they were inspired by insincerity.

    One party is using the other, so as to avoid emotional suffering from a past breakup. Being that rebound relationships rarely work out, it stands to reason that your ex eventually reaches out to you wanting to work things out. This is how it normally plays out.
