me and you

Chapter 27

Hey, it's Cupid, the teen love expert. Are you having problems in your relationship? Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll give you advice on how to fix the situation. If you're listening just call in and tell me what the problem is.

Hey Cupid, how do you break up with someone?

One of the downsides to being Cupid: sometimes I had to give advice I didn't want to give.

Well, why do you want to break up with them?

In all honesty, I was never really all that interested in him. I used him as rebound after my boyfriend dumped me, and now I want to break things off because I hate leading him on like this.

Well, then I suggest you explain the situation to him and hope for the best. Is the guy your with a friend of yours?

Yeah, and he's a great guy too, that's why I feel so bad. He doesn't deserve this.

Tell him that, and as your friend, he might be understanding.

But how? What should I say?

Break it to him as gently as possible. If you hurt him too badly, you might lose more than just a boyfriend, you risk losing a friend too, and I doubt you want to do that.

So what exactly should I say?

Well, I can't give you the exact words to say. I mean, it should be something genuine, something that you really do mean. If it sounds too scripted or rehearsed, then things could turn out horribly. Don't worry though, the right words will come to you when the time comes.

I hope your right. Thanks Cupid. Bye.

Bye. And good luck. I relaxed back into my seat. We've still got time, so call if you need anything.

Cupid?

Yes?

So... I kinda...sorta...maybe have a slight crush on a guy who doesn't notice me. What should I do?

Well first of all, why doesn't he notice you?

Because he's a foot taller than me.

I laughed. What do you mean he's a foot taller than you?

Exactly what I said. I'm short, I'm only five feet tall, and he's six feet. He literally doesn't see me because I'm too little.

Well in that case, how good are you at walking in heels?

Good enough that I can run in them without breaking one. Why?

The only solution I can think of to your problem is to buy six inch heels. Just make sure they don't make you look too... I'm trying to figure out how to say this without getting censored.

I get it. Are you sure that will work?

It'll make you tall enough for him to notice. If he still doesn't, you could try to change yourself, but you should never change yourself for any man. Side note: Ladies, if a man doesn't appreciate you for you, then he's not worth your time. Anyways, you could also try simply talking to him. Coming from a girl who really only has guy friends, I can assure you that guys aren't hard to talk to..
