Are you a starter girlfriend? Not a keeper, just the girl to date for now, until he gets out in the real world? Don’t feel too bad. It’s not just a college trend.

Ever hear of a happily married couple where the husband conveniently dumps the wife right after his big promotion only so that he could start screwing his young sexy secretary without sneaking around? Or the med school romance that’s been hard core for quite sometime.

Maybe you and your boo were hot and heavy in high school, but the separate colleges and keg stands took its toll. Hey, but you always kind of figured it end like that, right? With life’s changes, a lot of people just look for someone to have fun with for a little while. Hello, ever hear of a summer fling?

Still, no one wants to hear that they were a lot of fun and that’s about it. Sounds like the movie “Legally Blonde.” You could take Elle Wood’s plot and try to conform, be that conservative non-vixen he’d bring home to family. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather stay free-spirited and be a special snowflake.

You may just be his starter relationship, just to break him in and get some kissing practice and such. It’s definitely not the ideal spot seeing as you pretty much taught him how to be a stellar charming guy. That keeper-chick down the line will reap the benefits but you know what, she probably trained a few dudes in her day.

Look at it as your contribution to society. All dumped girls or even the dumpers have played a part in a guy’s life. So don’t think you’ve meant nothing. After all, he did say “let’s be friends.” Sounds like a super fun consolation prize. Actually no, it’s a semi death sentence and rarely works.

Hey, and if you want him back you can always take the immature route by posting numerous pictures of yourself with taller, stronger dudes. I don’t think that whole jealous card is worth your time, classy ladies. If he only wants you when someone else does then he’s dense and doesn’t know what he’s got.

If you’ve ever cried over someone you’ve lusted after (who hasn’t), then you’ve known a terrible pain and are a better person for it. Instead of moping around and wallowing in the whole not having a valentine thing, enjoy yourself. Go on a date with that hot rebel from high school that your friends would have made fun of you for. Go to a party and flirt. Deal with the breakup but live it up at the same time.
