I was pretty awkward growing up so I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 17 years old and a senior in high school. I asked the butcher at the local supermarket, who was a year older than me, out on a date. We hit it off pretty well. He was my first kiss. Then, Valentine’s Day rolled around and we were supposed to go out and he never showed. He called and broke up with me on Valentine’s Day. I was crushed. I cried for days. I was already scared of rejection and this made it worse. I didn’t know what to do so I kept following him around trying to ask him why and finally his mother called me a stalker. That’s when I stopped dead in my tracks because I didn’t want to be a stalker. I guess I dealt with that heartache by being stupid and getting married on a whim to someone else a few months after my graduation. That led to a whole new heart break of a different kind because I am no longer married. I guess you never get over a broken heart.
