[joreth]

How Not To Break Up With Someone:

• "I totally can't do this polyamory thing. What if you find someone better than me?!"
   
• "Nvrmd, I totes can! I'm definitely ready to try polyamory! Let's do this!"
   
• "JK! I'm getting back together with my ex and she won't allow me to be poly, so I'm blocking you now."

How Not To Break Up With Someone:

• Spend a solid week convincing them to give you a chance over their concerns that you don't have enough relationship experience for them.
   
• Make a date with them explicitly to discuss whether or not you can date each other.
   
• Stand them up for that date.
   
• Block their methods of contact so you aren't tempted to respond and they don't know that you're not getting their attempts to reach out.
   
• Leave them a message on Facebook to read when they get home after spending all night wondering where you are, saying how much you learned from them about ethics and personal growth, but sorry, you can't ever talk to them again in any capacity.
