three important rules for breaking up 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 just to help you avoid a big
tear jerking 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

Being attractive is the most important thing there is if you wanna
catch the biggest fish in your pond you have to be as attractive as
possible make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean wash it at
least every two weeks once every two weeks and if you see johnny
football hero in the hall tell him he played a great game tell him
you liked his article in the newspaper

i propose that we support a one month limit on going steady i think
it would keep people more able to deal with wierd situations and get
to know more people i think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
now's the time to tell him about your one month limit he won't mind
he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating and once you've dated
someone else you can date him again i'm sure he'll like it everyone
will appreciate it you're so novel what a good idea you can keep your
time to yourself you don't need date insurance you can go out with
whoever you want to every boy every boy in the whole world could be
yours if you'll just listen to my plan the teenage guide to popularity
