Rejection sucks, but there’s soo Breaking up with people has become routine forto say before I’ve even ended it

Take this guy for instance Being in a crowded restaurant won’t stop hi his lid when I tell him we’re done Public is best for a breakup, but that doesn’t ht candles out Not only because it makes thefire if he starts throwing things

Paranoid, maybe, but it wouldn’t be the first time

I exaure hi blue eyes, pouty lips, and luscious dark hair any woman would be jealous of

When it cooing to be hard When hot, young play toys hear I’ly

This one is the type who doesn’t like to be broken up with His actual feelings don’t co around for a uarantee he understands this He’s just going to be pissed he didn’t break it off first He won’t grovel, promise to do better, or try to hold onto whatever he thinks he has withto be a shit show

He reaches for lass of water instead and take a sip We haven’t ordered food yet, and when the waitress comes by to ask if we’re ready, I send her away and tell her to give us a few minutes

My date’s brows pinch together “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t think this is working You’re a great guy, and we’ve had fun, but you’re eighteen years old You should be going out with guys your own age”

“You’re only twenty-three That’s barely an age gap”

I ale a little” Or a lot

“How old are you?”

“That doesn’t ive me”

“I don’t see the proble fun”

“Right Uh, the thing is, I want to settle down, and I can’t do that with an eighteen-year-old”

“Wait You’re really breaking up with h-pitched

Oooh boy, I know the signs If I don’t defuse this, I could very well be getting slapped in a minute It’s happened before “It’s not you, it’s m—”

“Don’t even try to pull that bullshit line with me”

“I’m sorry”
