Being Dumped

[Bourne Endeavor]

Never had a relationship, thus have not experienced being dumped. My general attitude towards it however is, "eh whatever" due to my rather apathetic opinion of dating as a while. I have this lingering thought I could be one of the worst exes because it would take me less then a few minutes to move on.

the night of my prom.

Never been dumped, other than by using the usual cowardly bloke tactic of just ignore her or act like a total bastard until she dumps you.

I had a girl who I lived with dump me in an email once. I couldn't help but laugh at her since after that it was pretty hard to take her seriously anymore. A very fast way to get over somebody is to lose all respect for them, so that really worked out in my favor

Yeah... there's no possible way you could know how you would feel, if you've never been in a relationship. You might be right, but you may very well be just as wrong. I remember what it felt like to have not been in a relationship up until a certain point in my life. What I thought I would feel and what I ended up feeling were two opposite things.

Then again, that's just how the frontal lobe works. You can only base your future feelings on your present ones, which is obviously not a great way to gauge that sort of thing. But, that's all we have to go by as human, unfortunately.

Wow, that must've sucked.
probably ruined your evening completely.

I've never been in a relationship, so I can't really answer the question.
I'd probably be devastated though... I guess

Indeed, that I cannot dispute. Currently I base my reaction off of how I am in general; I do not build strong attachments towards people whatsoever and am quite apathetic in regards to relationships and dating; not be confused with opposing either, I just prefer to "play my hand" so to speak and wait for a woman that impresses me then to venture in at random like many of my peers. At Twenty I have plenty of time to wait.

Of course as you stated, things may change although this is an aspect I intend to maintain as best I can. It simply makes difficult situations like a break up that much easier to deal with when you tackle the world with a nonchalant attitude.

Being told by her friend that I was too akward when we talked...she just wanted to be "friends". even though we never talk anymore. Goes to show, don't date your friends...

The exact same thing happened to me.
Strange.

By instant message, around New Years, after my grandfather died and my uncle got hospitalised.
Still not over it. Probably never will. That's the reason I drink whiskey once in a while. And don't sleep.

I once recieved a text message saying, "If you're not going to move in with me, we should end our romantic involvement."

Who fuckin says that to break up with someone, let alone via text message?

It was that woman who created the womanizing monster that you see here today! Hey, my name's Jeff, can I buy you a drink

 

[ZombieFace]

I found out an ex gf cheated on me (while we were still together) so when she told me i got mad and kicked her out of my house on the way out she muttered something and laughed and as she went down my stairs i dumped a bottle of vitamin water on her

I dumped my last ex the day before valentine's day at the catering place we both worked for. I cried, he cried and it was really kinna pathetic. The next day I got a bajillion roses he had ordered like a week before with a note talking about how much he loved me and was glad he'd finally worked up the nerve to say it and how he wants to make the relationship more serious. And of course I got them when I was sitting with a group of our mutual friends... who either glared at me like I should go crawl in a sewer, or patted my back and pitied me. I felt like the most horrible person alive.

Like a year later I woke up to a knock on my door and there's his mom touring my house cause she's my family's Realtor... She kept telling me how I was her favorite of all the girlfriends he'd ever had, bought me a Christmas present, kept talking about how horrible his recent ex's were and how he needed another girl like me (complete with meaningful stare).... Needless to say it was insanely awkward.

Are you a replica of me? Exact same thing happened to me.
It appears the pattern of human behaviour is more predictable than I thought.

Thankfully my name is not Tim...

The paradox would be incomprehensible.

I was given the silent treatment towards the end of an otherwise pretty good long-distance relationship. I wouldn't have dumped her via e-mail if there were any other option, but there wasn't. Still waiting for her to gimme a ring and tell me why, but I'm hoping another relationship will come along before closure from that one happens.

The second worst, which is more annoying than soul-crushing, was when a gal I was seeing in high school handed me a note riddled with every cliche in the book like "it's not you, it's me", and "we can still be friends" (which we are).

Best breakup? A girl told me exactly how she felt, avoiding said cliches mentioned above. I agreed that a breakup was probably the best option, and we parted ways with a tender kiss.

It also makes you sound like a soulless zombie.
I can relate to what you say, but DAMN!!!
Go out and have some experiences. Get your heart broken! Find that song that makes it all worth while. Seriously, carrying on like that is only going to make it harder to relate when you do meet that someone.
