Content

A guy I dated laughed and asked “are you okay?” when I stuttered during trivial pursuit. So I just told him I was tired, told him to go home, then texted him saying I wasn’t interested in dating him further. I had other reasons to break it off but that really was what convinced me. I instantly lost any interest in him when he laughed at me. He became a character in a chapter in my life, a minor one.
