Well, it seems that going with someone who has just broken an engagement
is quite a frequent event, either that or it really hits a nerve and
people respond like crazy.

The general consensus is be careful not to be used on the rebound,
"Gee, thanks for helping me get over this, bye".
(Personal note to Ken: I forgot to mention, no, it is not Joyce nor
Springfield)

ANYWAY, if the PROBLEM is being used on the rebound:

a) How do you tell the signs.

b) HOW DO YOU PREVENT IT?

c) If it starts happening, how do you get her to sit back and re-evaluate
from "shove off, but thanks" ; to - "hey this is a  neat person, we
can get something going here, even if I have just been through hell"??
