I've Broken Up With Lots Of Girls

With Carla over the phone when I was 17, so I could ask out the girl with the nose ring.

With Becky when I was 18, and I can't remember how. We broke up in May and then made out all summer.

Julie and I just stopped talking, also at 18.

At 19 with Holly, who had already moved to Salt Lake City.

With Betty when I was 20, so I could ask out the short girl with the braids. But then I didn't ask out the short girl with the braids, because it turned out Betty was bigger than I'd meant her to be. So we broke up with each other, off and on, over the course of a few weeks when I was 22 and she was 28.

Sandra broke up with me when I was 22, through an email, after not speaking to me for two weeks.

With Nina when I was 23, in her apartment. She cried and then yelled at me, then said she wanted to kill herself, then called me a pussy. It took about a year before I just stopped taking her phone calls.

Shannon broke up with me when I was 23, after six months, over the phone, when I was in Chicago and she was in New York. I still think about that one sometimes.

The last time I saw Persephone was friendly. I was 24 and sitting in my car, and she was sitting in my car and about to get out of my car, and we said goodbye. We didn't kiss or hug or even shake hands. We didn't talk again.

With Robin I was 24 and she cried and yelled and clung to me and ran after me and begged me not to leave. We'd dated for two months and I left as quickly as I could.

With Jess I was 25 and she was tough. It seemed like a business arrangement, but a month later she got mad when she found out I was dating someone new, and someone new that she knew. She got mad and sent me an email to tell me so.
