Dating and Dumping

By: Evangeline Auld

Dating, generally is a mainly pleasurable, happy time. Making new friends, finding affection, with shared interests and shared interests is what it’s all for.
However, for some of us , after perhaps a good start, things go very wrong, and the hard part comes when trying to disengage from a relationship that is not working. If the other person doesn’t want to break it off and you don’t wish to inflict too much hurt, here are a few tactics you may like to consider .
Before trying them out , be advised that, depending on the dumpee’s personality , you might encounter some fireworks along the way! In the examples below, for easy reading , I’ve used ’him’ but it is just as likely to be ’her’.
1. Listen to his jokes and laugh heartily , but always in the wrong place, just before the ending, if possible. If he is telling a joke to a crowd , interrupt and supply the punch line (preferably incorrectly) before he can deliver it himself. Profusely apologise if he complains, but continue doing it again and again.
2. If he is a stickler for punctuality , always be late. Not just a little , but terribly late, enough to spoil any date. Don’t apologise or make excuses , act as if this is perfectly correct behaviour.
3. If he invites you to a party given by his boss, try not to look your best . It’s difficult not to make yourself as attractive as possible, but just think he is showing you off to his boss and colleagues and you don’t wish to make him feel proud of you. Try your best (subtly) to look your worst. Try to make a really bad impression.
4. When you go to a show or film wait until it is half-way through. You then decide that you really, really need to go to the restroom and disturb the whole row making your exit (and then back in, of course). Causing a nuisance to other patrons will not be pleasant, but you should bear in mind, it is all in a good cause - your freedom. After the show, for your reactions, of course it was much better the first time you saw it. Any time he takes you to a show do the same thing.
5. If he telephones, interrupt the call frequently, putting out the cat, turning on the oven, answering the doorbell, anything at all to make the call unsatisfactory. .
6. Take note any of your personal habits that seem to bug him badly - and if you haven’t any, start making some up. nail biting, scratching, scratching, yawning loudly , interrupting humming - I’m sure you can think up a few. Take care , though, that they don’t backfire, and actually become a habit!
7. If he has his hair cut in a new style or wears something quite different from the usual, don’t even notice it. If it’s brought to your attention , appear unimpressed.
8. If you go out to dinner, (that is, if you arrive in time!) be very uncertain of what you would like. Dither , alter your choice and eventually when you’ve finished the meal , say that you would really have liked something completely different , but you didn’t like to make a fuss .
9. Talk to him a great deal and as boringly as possible about girly things (or if a man, about men’s interests). You may bore yourself to tears, but imagine how it is affecting him!
10. Do you watch television together ? Try to hang on to the remote control and change channels often and at specially dramatic
