REJECTION DIARY:
Happy
Today, Gone Tomorrow
Dear Harlan,
I have been dating this really sweet guy since the last week of
April, but he has broken up with me because "He doesn't feel the
same anymore." Just a week ago, he was extremely happy about us.
I still feel for him somewhat, and I don't think that it'll be
good if I act upon these feelings. What should I do?

Dear
Confused Junior,
If you decide to act, here are your lines ...
YOU:
I want to know - what happened to change the way you way feel
about us?
HIM: (fill in with some poor excuse)
YOU: It's just really disappointing. I really liked you. (a
dramatic pause to let him sit in his guilt)
YOU: Thanks for being honest. I hope you find what you're looking
for ...
Then
you don't contact him for a while. You can't force someone to
like you, but you can force him to see what life is like without
you. If he should come back, don't be so quick to take him back.
You want to be what he wants, not what he's settling for.
