What to do when you're the Rebound Girl

Have you ever wonder the story behind the other leading role? Like how you always think highly of the hero, but is anyone considering the story of the villain? For me, I used to be the girl who criticized the rebound girl my ex chooses. But now, I'm starting to wonder the point of view from the rebound girl situation.

REBOUND GIRL, what does this 'rebound' mean? Let me start with this short story, there's this one girl and one boy. Can I be anymore obvious? Let's call them Patrick and Mary. ( Shut up, I just like the name of Patrick). Now Patrick and Mary became a couple. They loved each other very much. Then one day, Mary decided to dump Patrick. Leaving Patrick all SINGLE and heart broken and GIRLFRIENDLESS. Not too long after, Patrick meets this different girl, let's call this new girl Lily. Then Patrick decide to go after Lily, asking Lily to be his girl.

So, this LILY is the Rebound Girl. Clear? Rebound kinda means replacement.

Let's see things from Patrick point of view, he may truly like Lily and asking her to be his is just a natural thing. Or this Patrick is just a jerk using Lily as a tool to forget Mary, or he is using Lily to get revenge back at Mary.

We don't care about Patrick behaviours, because he had done his part, now it's up to Lily's respond. Lily must figure out Patrick and not to forget getting bashed by Mary for being the rebound girl.

So, what to do if you're in the Rebound Girl position?

1.) Become a LESBIAN. Yup, I'm not kidding. Just go and find a girl, then PFUUU, all boys problem will be gone. Hah. ^^ But this is a no-no, cause turning into a lesbian because of a guy is like going to the la-la land. Not possible. So, this is a no-no.

2.) Talk it out with the guy. Tell the dude that you need to sit down and talk. Then face out your problem. But doing this is so typical drama queen, you may think you're acting rational, but the guy will think that you're exaggerating or hallucinating or imagining things or being over-sensitive. No-no then.

3.) Forget the guy and move on. YES, dress up nicely, call your sisters and go out to have a crazy day out. Then you'll forget all about the guy cause you're too busy having fun. But this only work if the girl is not interested in the boy, cause if the girl likes the boy back, then she'll be screaming out her feelings to her peeps that having a good time. No-no.

4.) Get on with the game. If the guy just want to play, the girl should play together as well. No hard feelings included, cause she's in it just for the game. Hey, it takes two hands to clap. But this is such a player move. No-no again.

5.) Have a girl fight with the ex, cause you can't take her bashing anymore. Hair pulling, slapping each other, touring of each other clothes. Whoa~~~ I really admired the effort this girl is putting up just for this guy. No-no(*definitely). Love and peace.

6.) Or my personal favourite. Get on with life while figuring out the guy. No sweat, no harm. You still enjoy life to the fullest, yet you still hold on to the opinion you have towards the guy. But what if you're in too deep now, and you're starting to doubt your own feelings? Another no-no.

All those solutions are just fictional selection, not from a credible source though. Use at own risk. Well, actually if you're in the rebound girl's shoes, it all comes down to 4 solution.

1.) You GO ON because you care.
- Because you're a hopeless romantic, and you believe that he really likes you truly or you're just really kidding yourself cause duh! you're a hopeless romantic.

2.) You GO ON because you don't care.
- You're just equally a player and you're in it just for the excitement but not for the commitment.

3.) You QUIT because you care.
- You do seriously like the boy, so you decided to stay away from the guy until he's emotionally stable cause he had just broke off with his ex and you can't be sure of his feelings. And until things cool down, you'll make your choice once more.

4.) You QUIT because you don't care.
- You're just a high-profile girl and you're an optimistic who thinks that there's more fish outside the world.

Being the Rebound Girl kinda suck cause you'll be constantly wondering and doubting the guy, or the ex is giving you a hell of a problem. You really don't know who/what to trust.

We'll see then.
