When you think about dating one of the Disney princes (and you know you have) it’s normally a happily ever after, having scores of royal children together scenario. But some of the princes (and for the purpose of this list, we’re also including the non-royal male companions of the Disney princesses) would actually make better rebound relationships then life long companions.
11. The Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
The worst possible rebound guy. Super possessive and has the worst table manners, this seriously unkempt man child needs an extreme personality makeover that only a live-in girlfriend can provide.
10. Charming (Cinderella)
The man is looking for a wife (or actually, his dad is looking for a wife for him). Run, and ran fast.
9. Florian (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
Oh my god Florian, she was just trying to hang out by the well and sing away her pain, this is not karaoke night.
8. Shang (Mulan)
A total workaholic with slight daddy issues, Shang will say he’ll go to the concert with you, then he’ll be all, sorry, the huns have invaded, can’t make it, ttyl. And when you call him on not answering your texts, he’s sure to get defensive- if I tell you where I’m at babe, I won’t be mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
7. Kristoff (Frozen)
Dude talks to his reindeer, then talks back as the reindeer, when there are humans he could talk to. Not saying it wouldn’t be endearing for a little bit, but you try to turn it into a long term thing and you’ll find yourself screaming things like, “Is wearing antlers the only way I can get you to talk to me?”
6. Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)
Adorable, excellent taste in date locations, but a little hung up on this chick he only saw for about two seconds who can’t even speak. Good for one weekend of romantic carriage rides, then on to the next guy.
5. Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty)
He can dance, and he’d definitely slay that spider for you, but he could also get a little too possessive.
4. Naveen (The Princess and the Frog)
Yes, he’s a frog, but hear me out: think about Vines you could make if your boyfriend was a cute amphibian (the Instagram potential is endless). As a rebound guy, you could easily kick him to the creek when you need a more full-sized man.
3. Eugene (Tangled)
Eugene has one of the most important traits in a rebound guy, the ability to be really upfront about his faults.
2. Aladdin (Aladdin)
Before Jasmine, you know Aladdin must have been a pretty impressive pick-up artist. They call me Prince Ali, wanted criminal in the streets, but hidden from the authorities by some convenient sheets. Want half a melon?
1. John Smith (Pocahontas)
