In high school or college, were you the heartbreaker or heartbreakee?
I dated my hubby most of that time, but as for all the other guys I dated, I hate to say that I broke all of their hearts! :( Oh well, I could have been the one getting broken up with!

1. Always the heartbreakee!
I'm too nice to just dump a girl. I always have to let her down gently. As a result, she was always the one doing the breaking-up.

2. In H/S, neither
I was the "friend."

Ack! Kaff! God was that awful!

Thus, in college, I was the rake, the rogue, the devil-may-care.

Now I'm the Daddy.

4. I was a dork with a huge record collection.
So naturally I fell into the latter category.

36. Hey, I was a dork with a huge record collection, too!
I only had one girlfriend in high school and we didn't break up until college, and I was the heartbreakee in that one.

I've since withdrawn from that whole game until an undetermined future date.

10. Heartbreakee
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 11:51 AM by HEAVYHEART
I was a dork and nobody liked me, so my heart was broken ALOT. Then I had a drastic make-over, in and out, etc. I was hot after the make-over and became a slut. I broke alot of hearts, sadly. I've sort of grown up, lol, and I'm in love for the first time. Been with my bf for 5 years and I'm truly in love for the first time in my life..

15. Both
The cool fraternity boys I chased broke my heart, but I had a little fan club of nerds who followed me around, hoping I'd decide that me being 6" taller didn't matter.

Ended up with a giant weightlifter nerd.

17. Neither.
I never dated in high school.

Hell, I never had my first real girlfriend until after my freshman year in college a few years back. :mad:

Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 12:46 PM by halobeam
sometimes I wish it had been the other way around. I might've been better at coping with heartbreak as an adult.

Who knows.

26. I didn't date. I was pretty much of a non-entity in high school.
I know that seems hard to believe since I'm so loud and obnoxious now, but it's true.

27. Heartbreakee
in fact, I've only broken it off with one person in my entire life. I didn't date much in HS, but I was always the one left holding the flowers standing in the rain as my date drove off with another guy.

41. We're "official"
we call ourselves boyfriend/girlfriend, "significant other" or whatever the terminology is these days. And we're both quite happy!

29. Heartbreakee, always. It SUCKED. Plus,
I still see one of them all the time, and I'm still sort of friends with another one who just informed me he's dating some chick I went to high school with--"haha, isn't that a coincidence". :puke:

(I'm not bitter, but I did need to vent for a sec. Thanks.)

Ultimately, usually it was me, BUT there were times. :(

As a matter of fact, we don't really fight at all, but when we do, it is over the silliest thing in the world!

42. In high school i was a god.
No kidding. I was not in the popular clique per sey, i was known as the big bad ass rebel. Being very tall, with long dark hair and ice blue eyes did not hurt either ;) Anyway i also had the bad boy image down pat as well. Along with that image i had constructed this whole "love is for suckers" attitude. This attitude allowed me to dump the ladies and move on at will.

I managed to avoid any heartache in high school. After high school though, out in the real world i got my old heart torn to shreds a time or two. After which i had a much wiser view on relationships. This new found appreciation of romance and all things romantic allowed me to cultivate a wonderful healthy marriage of which i have been a loving member for 12yrs now.

43. Always on the receiving end of heartbreak.
Complete non-entity in high school. Forever having a crush on some unattainable "popular" type who didn't even know I existed.
