just go out with her and be yourself. if her breakup is recent and completely over she may or may not talk about him depends on how he treated her. if it was a friendly breakup and mutual then things should go well for u both. i think rebounds happen if someone is really hurt by the break up. so just take your time. see how 2 or 3 dates go. she will let u know how she feels. the going steady thing just see how things go. see how common your interests are and schedules.. if u have friends in common etc. the going steady thing see how things r in about 2 months.
