It was the first girl I ever dated after coming out. I was 16 and we’d been together for 5 months and it was just NOT working. It was an awful relationship. So I decided it had to end. But I’d never broken up with anyone before so I had no idea how to go about it. I pulled her aside at the very end of the lunch period and told her that I “wasn’t in a good place for a relationship right now” blah blah blah typical break up bullshit. But I had NO idea how to end the conversation so here’s what I did. I hugged her…….and then I high fived her. It still haunts me at night.
