Three Important Rules for Breaking Up

[Never Nohen]

- Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to. Prolonging the situation only makes it worse.

- Tell him honestly, simply, kindly but firmly. Don't make a big production. Don't make up an elaborate story. This will help you avoid a big tearjerking scene. If you want to date other people, say so.

- Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected. Even if you've gone together for only a short time, and haven't been too serious, there's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company.

But if you're honest and direct, and avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news, the boy will respect you for your frankness, and honestly, he'll appreciate the kind straightforward manner in which you told him your decision.

Unless he's a real jerk or a crybaby, you'll remain friends!

I've heard this somewhere before

and being friends with someone after you break up is easier said then done

you know, that song was on the radio on my way home from school today, and i was like HOLY SHIT!!! *blasts it for ten seconds*

then i realized that i remembered that song to be a hell of a lot better than it really is.

i turned it off and listened to toad the wet sprocket.

1. Wait till she is besotted with you. This should happen naturally, as you gradually act meaner towards her she will fall for you more. This is the best time to make the break. As it makes you look good.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR SHIT BACK FROM HIM.

all i can say is remove all doubt. completely annihilate the mere notion in his mind of any possiblity of you getting back together again.

and steal something extra, just in case

[alexthestampede]

if you dont have all your stuff back, steal something of equal value, like a clock for a fur hat.

For real. And also make sure that you don't lend them $1500 in case you do break up.
