If I started dating someone a month after they got out of a 6 month relationship, do you think it's a rebound? We have been dating for about 5 months. I feel like 6 months might be too short to get truly invested/be a real rebound.

Please post her picture and phone number.
No.
It's about the breakup not the duration of the relationship.
The reaction to the break-up sends some to validate their worth as a partner so the post breakup time is retrospective. Thus not someone looking for a future as much as trying to understand the past. You always want your new relationship to be based on the future.
Other people come out of a relationship only looking forward. They are secure in knowing they have value as a partner.
The quicker you, as the new person, figure out which one they are the sooner you can start evaluating them for their long haul potential or just grabbing the
the pleasure associated with a new partner and fury of the first night.
Ask JR Smith. Dude is great at handling rebounds.
When a woman comes out of a 6 month relationship she's usually in another one by the next day, but a man might brood for months or years.

Well, many reasons for this.
There's an old saying. A woman needs a reason to have sex. A man just needs a place.
An attractive woman, usually knows several men interested in her, or "open" to her, immediately after a breakup.
If she wants to be in a new relationship the next day, all she has to do is make that place available to some guy she knows.
A man, usually not the same deal, usually men have to find a woman they want...and then the same old dating/mating ritual, unless of course they want to go to a sleaze bar, get drunk, and wait for last call.
What if said person is a guy?
Was he a doctor or rich?
A huge johnson?
Extremely good looking?
Are you an upgrade or a downgrade?
If you’re in high school/college, there’s a pretty good chance it is rebound territory. If you’re adults, it is much less likely.
If they are dating you, it is definitely a rebound.
who cares?

What do you mean, "after" a breakup?? LLOOOOLLL!! Women have dudes panting for them before, during, and after, all relationships.

Yes the relationship is doomed if it is not a real rebound reaction to a less than fully invested relationship.
