“Ribs”

I realized that only thing I’d miss about him was the ribs he’d make.

“Date-ability”

best of chemistry

I knew it wouldn’t last long after she told me that I had passed her guy “date-ability” list, missing only one out of 34 requirements. I thought she was kidding until she showed me the actual checked off list.

Aftermath: One week.

“Hot & heavy”

chemistry

We were pretty wrapped up in a hot & heavy make-out session when all of a sudden he said to me in a really pathetic, seductive sounding voice, “I wish I could remember what color your eyes are.”

Brown-Eyed Girl

Aftermath: Stopped returning his calls and haven’t spoken to him since.

“Continents apart”

chemistry

We were both going abroad and wouldn’t see each other for 7 months. He said he couldn’t do distance, even though we were long distance for several years in college. We went on a break.

Delfina

Aftermath: He started dating a girl from the country he visited. They’re still dating 3 years later, and they’re continents apart.

“Four weddings”

best of chemistry

We attended four weddings on successive weekends and I felt nothing except a feeling of being trapped and heading toward mediocrity. I really wanted to love her the way she loved me and tried very hard to, but in the end I couldn’t force it on myself.

Heartbreaker

Aftermath: I had this revelation after a year of dating and almost ended it then, but relented when she began crying. We dated two more years. I broke up with her the week after the last wedding. It was heart-wrenching to hurt someone so bad. I hope to never have to do it again. She met someone else and we are both better off, I think…
