He is not a Doctor of Theology or a bass player in a rock band; he is both. “Rock genre is influenced by religious ideas,” Myhre said. “They are thinking about spiritual questions and ethical ideas…pushing questions into a format.” Dr. Myhre’s dedication to pursuing ideas from new, different perspectives and formats has most recently landed him in the band 2

10 | WABASH.EDU/BACHELOR | THE BACHELOR CAVELIFE CUTTING THE CORD FOUR TIPS ON BREAKIING UP WITH YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND FREE KASHON ‘17 | STAFF WRITER • We were in the back parking lot of a Steak ‘n Shake. We had sat down inside, but we didn’t want the other diners to see the tears that cov- ered our cheeks. So we headed outside and sat in my car while we talked about college and the fact that I would be completely devoid of time. Wabash was coming like a scarlet freight train and only I could catch a ride. It was time to do one of those few things that is universally hated; breaking up with a high school girlfriend. We shed our tears, said our goodbyes, and promised to stay friends. I was a lucky guy to have such an easy ending, but I soon found out that many of my Wabash brothers weren’t as fortunate. So here is a checklist of what to do if you’re not sure about that senior sweetheart of yours:

1) Why: This is definitely the most important factor. Guys, make sure that you always know the reasons you are going to break up with a girl. The words that come out of your mouth should have at least a grain of truth. Let’s face it, nobody likes to be lied to, and when you’re breaking a girl’s heart, it should be with good rea- son. These include, among many others, lack of communication, differ- ence of priorities, and of course, cheating. No man wants a girl he can’t trust. Ben Wade ’17 said that the biggest issue he had with his girlfriend was that “It was a long distance relationship, and those require a lot of communication and being on the same terms. When that doesn’t hap- pen, it just can’t last.” So in the simplest phrasing, if it won’t work, don’t be a jerk.

2) When: The Gentleman’s Rule comes first with this, Wabash. Obviously, telling a girl it’s over right after sex is the worst thing to do. I believe that the best time is at the start of a date, before any- thing happens. Set a time and place; practice what you’re going to say. A true man will end it as soon as possible. If you realize you do not want to be with her, do not drag it out. If possible, end it the next time you see her. She’s still in high school, so ending it right before prom is the worst move possible. When you know, let her go.

3) How: This is the crucible where gentlemen are separated from the masses. Do it in person, face-to-face. “The worst way to break up with a girl is through social media. Guys who use Twitter or Facebook are the worst,” Audie Kaufman ‘17 said. Phone calls are pretty cowardly too. I broke up with a girl over the phone, and it was the most awkward conversation of my life. When the chance does come for you to end the relationship, make sure that each person has a vehicle. There are only a few things more awkward than having to drive an ex home right after breaking her heart. One more thing gentlemen: if you can do it in her hometown or where she feels comfortable, it would be many times better than making her drive home from campus with tears in her eyes. Don’t be a disgrace, tell it to her face.

4) Post-breakup: Even if a guy acts like nothing happened, breaking up obviously sucks. I do not want to give you the standard clichés Wabash, but I will say that, in time, things will get better. Some of us will remain stoic as stat- ues, while others will suffer in the classroom or on the field. Many guys change their perspective of what dating really is, like Aaron Wirthwein ‘17, who said that he has become “just a little more wary of what people mean by the term ‘relationship.’” Even if you miss that little lady now, it does not mean you won’t find another one soon enough.

So that’s it, Wabash. I have covered all the basics, from the reasoning to the location. This has been your guide to breaking up with your high school sweetheart, or really a woman of any age. When you decide it is finally time to break her (and probably your) heart, always remember the Gentleman’s Rule above all else. It could very well get you your next girlfriend.
