To be the rebound or not to be?
What if the person that you have a crazy crush on is suddenly single? What if you knew she was on the verge of breaking up with her boyfriend and you have been waiting for that day and it’s now finally happened? Would you jump in straight away or do you wait?
Would you tell her how you feel but at the same time, tell her you’d understand that she will need some time though really, you can’t wait to be with her?
But even if she already knows about how you feel, would you jump straight into a relationship with her?
What if you decide that she needs to go through a rebound first before you can be together? What if her rebound turns out to be another long term boyfriend? Would you go insane? I know I would.
What if you decide that you don’t care about being the rebound, and that you just want to be with her no matter how short the relationship might be? Would you regret it that you blew the one chance of being with her forever?
And how do you know which is the right decision? I know I don’t. Though I have a hunch that I’ll be impulsive and not care about being the rebound. Life is too short to over-analyse it.

Hi mooiness,
Thanks very much for your interesting blog. It’s always nice to see how people on the other side of the globe live, how they share the same joys and sorrows, what they do in their free time, etc.
I actually have a question about your blog. Would you mind helping us with a linguistic research project? We’re compiling data from various Singaporean weblogs. All it requires is checking a few boxes. If you want to take part and/or have more questions, drop me a note ( hack2301@uni-trier.de RE: Question ) so that I can then send you the ‘official’ project eMail. We’d really appreciate your help.
Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
– Fran
PS: Hope that, whatever you decide to do, it works out fine in the end!
Rebounds can turn into boyfriends! Better to step in there and try your luck than waste your chance waiting, because waiting is still trying your luck, just worse odds
Fran: thanks for dropping by! I’m in Australia though. Does that matter?
Phil: heheh yes I’ve come to the same conclusion a while back.
Yes, I say go for it! Who knows it may end up for real? If it doesn’t work out, maybe then you’ll know you’re not right for each other. If you wait any longer, someone else might just step in.
Just be prepared to let her mourn/rant over the last breakup. Go slow with this relationship. Time will iron everything out.
Hahah good advice! But this is just a hypothetical scenario – I was thinking out loud.
Hi again,
nope, you being in Australia does not matter, you still qualify for our research if you are a native Singaporean, regardless of whether you’ve spend some time abroad or not.
So if you’re still interested in helping us, please drop me a note at hack2301@uni-trier.de
Best,
Fran
MOOI!!! hope i’m not too late.
TOO YOUNG!! TOO YOUNG!!
…………………
What makes this Fran person think that you are Singaporean??
Fran: I was originally born in Malaysia actually.
BM: hahahahah! Don’t worry! This was purely a mental exercise and a brain fart.
Re: being Singaporean. Erm yeah don’t know why. Hah.
Sadly, you don’t qualify for the research then. But thanks for letting us know!
Cheers
So….is this situation real or hypothetical? Still trying to figure that one out
Hypothetical, as mentioned a few times above.
