[00:00:24] Three important rules for breaking up

[00:00:26] Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to

[00:00:28] Prolonging the situation only makes it worse

[00:00:31] Tell him honestly simply kindly but firmly

[00:00:33] Don't make a big production

[00:00:35] Don't make up an elaborate story

[00:00:36] This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene

[00:00:39] If you want to date other people say so

[00:00:41] Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected

[00:00:43] Even if you've gone together for only a short time

[00:00:46] And haven't been too serious

[00:00:47] There's still a feeling of rejection

[00:00:48] When someone says she prefers the company of others

[00:00:50] To your exclusive company

[00:00:52] But if you're honest and direct

[00:00:53] And avoid making a flowery emotional speech

[00:00:55] When you break the news

[00:00:56] The boy will respect you for your frankness

[00:00:58] And honestly he'll appreciate the kind and

[00:01:00] Straightforward manner in which you told him your decision

[00:01:02] Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends

[00:01:04] I'm head of the class

[00:01:07] I'm popular

[00:01:09] I'm a quarterback

[00:01:11] I'm popular

[00:01:14] My mom says I'm a catch

[00:01:16] I'm popular

[00:01:19] I'm never last picked

[00:01:21] I got a cheer leading chick

[00:01:26] Being attractive is the most important thing there is

[00:01:29] If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond

[00:01:31] You have to be as attractive as possible

[00:01:33] Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean

[00:01:36] Wash it at least every two weeks

[00:01:38] Once every two weeks

[00:01:39] And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall

[00:01:41] Tell him he played a great game

[00:01:43] Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper

[00:01:44] I'm the party star

[00:01:47] I'm popular

[00:01:49] I've got my own car

[00:02:02] I'm the teacher's pet

[00:02:07] I propose we support a one month limit on going steady

[00:02:11] I think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations

[00:02:15] And get to know more people

[00:02:16] I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny

[00:02:18] Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit

[00:02:21] He won't mind he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating

[00:02:24] And once you've dated someone else you can date him again

[00:02:26] I'm sure he'll like it

[00:02:28] Everyone will appreciate it

[00:02:29] You're so novel what a good idea

[00:02:31] You can keep your time to yourself

[00:02:33] You don't need date insurance

[00:02:34] You can go out with whoever you want to

[00:02:36] Every boy every boy in the whole world could be yours

[00:02:40] If you'll just listen to my plan
