You’ve done it, or you’ve wanted to. Come on. You’re dating this guy, you’re in your early 20’s and you’ve already planned out your honeymoon. Everything’s great!! Except it’s not.
And he dumps you…in the parking lot… of the Devil’s Martini (which has appropriately since been torn down) with the line, “You’re a really great girl. But I just don’t want a girlfriend right now.” Now a SMART girl would have fired back, “YOUR DICK IS SMALL!”.
Just kidding.
I took it hard. No doubt. I appropriately cycled through every thoughtful thing that I’d done for him in the last three months. A LIFETIME for a 23 year old. I cried and cried and wrote a letter telling him how great I was and highlighting all his faults during the relationship; self-righteous and wildly obnoxious. Truth be told, I didn’t have a clue how to deal with rejection at that point in my life and didn’t handle the break-up……delicately.
Having been in a relationship with such a talented lawyer in our early twenties for 3 months, I definitely thought I owned the market on Dating With Class. However little did I know that my heart was about to be shattered in more pieces than OJ’s prosecution team. The laughs and passions and intellectual conversation we shared, all became meaningless in that split second moment when he announced, “You’re a great girl. But I just don’t want a girlfriend right now.”
You just don't want ME
Hey man, all good. I licked my wounds and thought of that age old saying, “The best way to get over someone is to get under someone.” So I called his best friend. Also a lawyer. Also better looking. And as it would turn out, also a more-than-willing participant.
Why the beautiful pic of a luscious green forest?
