Can You Really Flip A Rebound Into A Relationship?

It’s the weekend, and you’re gearing up to tuck into a stack of fluffy pancakes. The oil is in the pan, and the mixture is good to pour. You wait for the bubbles to emerge before sliding the spatula under your half-cooked first attempt, catching the edge as you flip, dragging a trail of pancake mix from one side of the pan to the other as it starts to smoke under the pressure. You’re defeated. Still, you wait 10 seconds for it to cook, then transfer it to a plate and pick at it, until you decide it’s a lost cause and bin it. Introducing the newest metaphor for your dating life: The Bad Pancake (TBP).

WHAT IS TBP?
