Okay so im in a bit of a pickle at the moment. There is a girl that i really like in my class and we get on so well. She writes in her book that she loves me etc. She always holds my hand and jokes saying we should change our relationship status on facebook. The thing is she has just split up from her boyfriend after he cheated on her and im thinking i could just be her bounce back. I haven't been on any dates with her either but she always initiates kino and touches my leg and hand in lessons.

Is it a bad idea to get with girls with broken hearts?

Im asking here because im sure many of you guys understand girls very well and know why it might be a bad idea.

She could be using you, either to stroke her shaken feelings of self esteem over the breakup, or to make her ex jealous.

Or she could be genuinely interested, some girls like being in relationships and pursue them quickly after the previous one ends. Calling the next person she dates a 'rebound' implies that it's not so much her interest in you, as much as it is her interest in anyone. Her actions, like anyone's, are going to result from the combination of her motivations at the time. She's probably deriving some security/utility from setting things up with you, and she's also probably interested in you (she's not doing this with another guy) to some extent.

These kinds of situations are difficult to read in person, much less based on a second hand account via forum posts. Ultimately you have to decide what you want, and pursue it. If you like this chick, then make a move on her. Ask her to do something fun, kino escalate, kiss her.

Just don't get too invested, remember that there is an abundance of women in the world and how any one of them feels about you can't subtract from your life anymore than you let it. Go after what you want man, just stay true to yourself.

Good luck

Thanks for the informative response man appreciate it!
Today she was still flirty with me and put her head on my shoulder and initiated kino etc but the problem is that she wasn't as flirty as the other day. I have a hunch it was because she saw that i went into town with another girl to get clothes. Im not sure if this made her mad or upset but i thought it would work the opposite way as i was getting social value and showing that im friendly around women.
