I understand that feeling all to well, but I don't believe that love ever truly goes away. Perhaps it is just me, but all of the women I have loved in my life, I still love. I couldn't be in a relationship with them again or anything, but the part of me that loved the part of them in the instances we were together doesn't really go away...if the relationship turned sour and my feelings for them no longer remained the same, then that was that - it was over, it couldn't continue. But the moments when we were happy and loved each other - those don't ever truly go away - they have made me the person that I am and for that I will still love a part of each of them forever. The relationships where I have 'felt' as though I was in love, yet seen that feeling fade and turn into regret and other bad stuff - I realize that I was never truly in love in the first place.
Anyways, this was probably sort of unwarranted, but I don't really go 'on the rebound' - I guess I find other things to do in my life and just learn from the sad stuff, but I certainly don't project it onto other people just so that I can make myself feel better. If finding somebody else to fill the void your last relationship left in you doesn't feel right, then please don't do it.
