How to speed-run your first relationship: a 12 step guide.
1. 2 days in: stay up all night texting
2. A week goes by: he's all you can think about
3. "I miss you": you barely know him
4. First date! Coffee and a movie. He's ten minutes late. It’s probably nothing.
5. Kiss in the stairwell. (A little unromantic?) You wouldn't change it for the world.
6. 1 month in: "I think I love you"
7. 2 months: It’s actually perfect. He’s perfect.
8. 3 months: "I think we should talk" Oh. Is this it?
9. I can't do this right now. "Let's go on a break"
10. You're dying everyday but he somehow isn't. Is this all I was to you?
11. "We should break up." "Okay". I guess I wasn’t worth it. Why wasn’t I worth it? You’re ‘it’ for me.
12. 2 weeks pass and it hurts a little less. You really didn't know him that well, after all. He was ‘all you’ve ever wanted’ but, darling, he really wasn't, and that's okay. You'll be okay.
