1. 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.

2. Don't make a big production. Don't make up an elaborate story. This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene. If you wanna date other people say so.



wtf is the third one?

if you have to ask, it's probably not important anyways.

3. after you break up make sure to squeeze in one last humpin.

7/4/2008 10:11:03 AM

that is good to know, even though you and Joie are just screen names to me, I am always happy to know a relationship is working out.
No I don't listen to Nada Surf.

1. 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.

3. If you wanna date other people say so.

7/4/2008 10:41:47 AM

see, i always considered 3 a part of 2.

7/4/2008 10:45:12 AM

dating other people isnt making a production of a break up.

7/4/2008 10:46:53 AM

Don't make up an elaborate story, if you want to date other people just say so.

that's how i interpreted it.

7/4/2008 10:48:16 AM

note the periods.

7/4/2008 10:49:05 AM

1. Don't put off breaking up if you know you want to.

2. Don't make a big production.

3. Don't make up an elaborate story.

4. If you want to date other people, say so.



we've got to go! the zoo awaits!

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:13 AM. Reason : i'm super confused now, so people work this out before i get back.]

It is what blasphemour said.

Because it says:

If you wanna 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

7/4/2008 11:19:41 AM

The hardest part of break up


is getting back your stuff.

7/4/2008 11:46:09 AM

"Popular" was their only good song.

7/4/2008 12:21:35 PM

7/5/2008 10:00:05 AM

only rule:

7/5/2008 10:07:21 AM

My sister's breakup came via text. Thanks technology! She is almost sure that he likes someone else. His excuse when they broke up was that they were too different. I think he should have used these rules.


[Edited on July 5, 2008 at 10:52 AM. Reason : up not out]

7/5/2008 10:50:26 AM

I wonder if some company would use text to fire the staff ?
