If you want to lose a girlfriend, it might just be easier than you think. I remember an old friend of mine whom we once worked out had his seven previous girlfriends all marry the next man they had a relationship with. For the life of him, he couldn't see why he found it so easy to lose a girlfriend in such a way that they wanted to commit to their next partner.
If you can't see what is wrong with the following which actually did happen (although I've changed names, dates and places), then maybe, like him, you already know how easy it is to lose a girlfriend.
It was the 1990 World Cup and John and I were both keen football fans. College had wound down for the summer and we had an hour or so before the next match. It was stuffy in our rooms so we decided to take a walk along the river and then head back in time to catch the start of the game.
While we were walking, I remembered something he'd said about his then partner, Julie.
"Isn't your partner coming down for the weekend?", I asked.
"Yeah".
"When is Julie arriving?", I persisted.
"Um. I think the train's due in about now."
"Aren't you going to meet her?".
"No, I said I'd meet her back at the room."
"Oh, so she knows her way? She's been here before?"
"Um, no, I don't think so."
Romance has never been John's thing so I hurried us back to the College hall of residence. Fortunately, someone had given Julie directions because she was there. I greeted her, made my excuses and left. I returned to my room thinking that John was in the lose a girlfriend mode again but perhaps I'd saved him this time.
About 15 minutes later there was a knock on my door. John stood there beaming while Julie shuffled from one foot to the other, clearly bored by the prospect of the football.
"Can we watch the match on your telly - mine's only black and white?"
"Uh, well, I, uh suppose so."
The match began and Julie was signalled to quietly perch on the corner of my bed while John roared at the antics on the pitch, frequently questioning the birthright of the referee. At half-time, dying of personal embarrassment, I offered to make a cup of tea but 'unfortunately' I would have to go out to get some milk first so I might be gone a while. This was my big attempt at putting a least a smidgin of romance into their relationship.
"Don't worry, Julie can get the milk, can't you?"
Julie and I caught eyes. She later thanked me for trying, shaking her head as she did so.
It may come as no surprise but their relationship soon ended and she didn't visit John again. One evening while we were out, he told me that she had married her next partner - an older man - not long afterwards.
Perhaps you don't see what is wrong with my story, but, if you do and you want to keep some romance in your relationship, then make sure that this never happens to you. It's that easy to lose a girlfriend.
