When I was in high school after a relationship ended between me an a girl (this was about 15 years ago so I can't remember who broke up with who, but I think there's a good chance she dumped me), she started dating some scrawny little slim shady wannabe. I think that actually made it easier for me, knowing that she was dating down (at least in my opinion). I would think to myself "haha I bet you are missing me now"l that your with this nerd".
