How not to retroactively break a relationship

Big Year 10 thing last night. I was desperate to try and break out of the distinctly Friend Zoned relationship I'd found myself in. It took an hour just to have the courage to dance at all, three more to even try (and fail) to ask her to join.

Then, as the obnoxious DJ screams "This one's for all you couples out there!", she immediately grabs one of her myriad and near-identical female friends.

That stung. But not as much as when the night finally finished.

"So," I said, somewhat bitterly, "as your relationship partner in the vaguest sense, I guess I'm obliged to ask you...how was the-"

She snorted, as if this was the funniest thing she'd heard all night. "What makes you think we were still in a relationship after you forgot my birthday?"

Right. I was chasing after someone I only liked in a vague sense due to a relationship of convenience (but that's a different story altogether) for an unknown amount of months because she never told me that I had been ditched for forgetting one day out of three hundred and sixty five, when there was someone else who, while almost definitely taken, was at the least a possibility and a less OCD match for my personality. THAT fucking stung.

Nah, 's cool. After all, at least I won't be shackled any longer to someone willing to drop you for an excuse such as that. That, or she thought I was below her standards and dropped me with the lamest of excuses, but, well...as far as blows to my battered ego go, that was pretty mediocre.

Besides, with her glasses off she looks uncannily like a heavier version of my oldest cousin.

Dood, at least you had the courage to try and ask. Makes you braver and manlier than I XD

Wow, seriously? What a grade A bitch :<

I'll be sure to tell her you said that, and then she'll probably smash me in the face with seventy-five kilos of avoided domestic violence. The experience will hopefully help me get over the fact that I avoided being surely killed by someone even more moodswingy and neurotic than myself.

Never forget that there are always other girls. Just be yourself (As long as you are not creepy. Then don't be yourself. o.O) and you will find the girl for you. :)

My Irish charms will net me someone, I'm certain of it.

Bitches, dude. Hit the weight room and work out the stress. Works wonders.

I'm not stressed so much as ... meh. Besides, I'm not exactly the strongest of characters. More...pathetically weak, really.

I read "neurotic" as "erotic" at first.

However, forgetting her birthday, that's pretty bad too. Not saying you deserved it, but that's kind of bad.

Three hundred and sixty five days in a year. I'm lucky if I can remember assignment due dates. And I'm expected to know one day in 365? One insignificant day? I mean, she probably doesn't even know mine. Do I give a fuck?
