The original web manga series began publication in early 2009 by an author who uses the pseudonym One. After becoming a viral sensation in June of 2012, a digital remake of the series was released by Shueisha’s Young Jump Web Comics which was illustrated by Yusuke Murata. An anime adaptation series soon followed in 2015 that was produced by Madhouse. The anime was released in Japan between October and December of that year. The dubbed version was later released in the US during the summer of 2016.

If you’ve dated, more likely than not, you’ve been dumped, or have dumped someone.

(For all of you love birds who have been together since the first day you laid eyes on each other and have been inseparable since, this article is not for you. However, as a courtesy, please forward this link to your friends who haven’t been in relationships for awhile. Thank you.)

As the saying goes, breaking up is hard to do. Depending on the reason as well as the current standing of your relationship, it only gets more difficult. There are different varieties, such as The (very rare) Amicable Break-Up, where you just universally stop wanting to entertain a relationship one another, or the It’s Not You, It’s Me, which usually means it’s something they don’t like about you anymore. There’s also the volatile Emotion-Fueled Break-Up, starter pack including a deceit, distrust, and/or a solid object of which someone threw at the other’s head as they set all of their belongings on the front lawn. Home-wrecker sold separately.

The by far worst break up, though, is the one you don’t expect, because you aren’t even really dating. Singling-Mingling-You starts out really excited to start seeing someone, but after you hang out once, they start dodging your calls, texts, or you altogether. You feel like crap, not only because you really thought you could be with them, but also that you don’t even know if you were exclusive to each other. Doubt sits on your shoulder, whispering, “what if they were seeing you and four other people and they liked you the least?” (This is what I like to call The Weakest Link effect.)

Dating nowadays can be rough, because you have to swim in multiple pools. That whole “there’s more fish in the sea” analogy? Yeah, there are more fish, but, you gotta catch a couple and weed out the one you want by process of elimination. What if you thought you were ready to commit to this fish, and it turned out to be poisonous? You can’t just go one by one by one when you’re out in the dating pool, because truthfully there’s too many heads to comb through. Also, more likely than not, you’re not sure what you’re looking for, but with budding technologies and a variety of people with different expectations, you end up finding all the things you could care less about.

I swore to thirteen-year-old self that if I ever broke up with someone, I would never get back together with them. Now, no one is perfect, and of course I’ve aimed to get back into the gathered graces of my exes with a little fooling around along the way, but I can proudly say I’ve never said had those “getting-back-together” plans follow through, whether it be the universe or myself to thank.

Now, being past recalling being dumped or doing dumping before, I can admit those experiences have made me a better person. Getting dumped doesn’t always mean the end of the world. As cheesy as it sounds, you get to date yourself by putting your needs before anyone else’s. You get to ask yourself the questions other’s may not have thought to, like what you truly want; what do you want to be, what do you want to do, what do you want to improve? The possibilities are endless. You are free to try new things, be as much of yourself as you can muster, and you don’t have to worry about anyone holding a microscope to your actions they might not like.

The transition to a party-of-one from a tandem-twosome can be less-than-stellar, but for a lot of people I know including myself, the best thing that could have happened to them is being dumped by someone who they realized later was toxic to their well-being. After you get dumped, you realize how truthfully awful that person was. Sometimes you realize, “I was the best part of them, and they chose to let me go.” Other times, you come to the realization that you can now do that thing you always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to when you were in that relationship, like dyeing your hair green or taking up fencing. Being dumped can be rewarding if you just remember to pick yourself up out of your own sadness. For those of us who are in love with our own griping and moaning, a good friend and an activity you enjoy can do a world of good on a damaged heart.

Also, a great way to get over a break up is to take up another activity, such as the timeless solution of exercising. There is no better revenge than being happy, healthy, sexy and successful. As a spite-driven individual, I aim to better myself on all levels just so they can peep my graceful ascension into greatness via social networking and suck it. Regardless of your motivation, remember that you can always improve yourself, and getting dumped might just be the kick you needed.

The post Dating Dictionary: Dumped, Dropped, and Deleted appeared first on .

In this day and age, a recent phenomenon has emerged, called “cuffing season.” During this “cuffing season,” within the months leading up to winter, you’re on a quest to find a “BAE” (Before Anyone Else). People make hilarious memes about draft picks, when the window closes to choose, etc. Everyone needs someone to cuddle with on those cold days, right? Oddly enough, people take this thing seriously. If you don’t have a significant other during wintertime, you can’t help but feel like the odd one out. But as soon as that warm weather comes around, most couple bonds fizzle out like they never even existed in the first place; which if you ask me, they shouldn’t have.

Why date just to date? I think it’s because Millenials need to be continuously stimulated. By conversation, by music, by Instagram-filter clad photos of food and exotic locations, the list goes on. Also, relationships, when done correctly, can just be fun. Sharing the holidays with someone never loses its novelty, so I don’t blame other people for wanting that. I don’t personally engage in this type of thing just because I find it impersonal. Not to assume a status above anyone, I just never meet people who I find interesting enough to continuously spend time with and consider to be more than just friends. Also, I feel like a lot of people choose to fill up their time by being in a relationship instead of working on themselves, which is not my idea of fun. If I’m constantly growing, I expect you to be too. I usually only find people who grow together are couples who have been together for like 4-5 years.

I just wonder, how do you find the potential in another person to grow together? Does that blossom out of cuffing season? (How do you even enter the draft? I feel like I’m stuck playing college ball forever.) How much of them do you keep and how much of them are you willing to change? If its too much, do you let go? I have way too many questions, and I know that I should experience it in hopes of answering them all, but in complete honesty, I’m scared. Scared of breaking someone’s heart, scared of someone breaking mine, scared of being in a dead-end relationship, scared of having more options but missing them.

Ultimately, I have a lot of respect for those who engage because I choose to sit on the sidelines. I choose to watch more than interact, and try to figure out the game before I play for fear of messing up. I see those people who jump in and out of relationships faster than you could say the words cuffing season, and it mystifies me.

I remember this guy on the outskirts of my friend group really liked me, and I could just tell from the first time meeting him. He was enchanted by me, he couldn’t take his eyes off me. We had a good conversation but I can tell I was the one leading. He never argued with me, something I absolutely detest because if you don’t have your own thoughts, we won’t work. One of my close friends who knew him said I should give the guy a chance but I didn’t want to because I knew his type. He seems like someone who would never go anywhere, because isn’t really making strides to go anywhere now. Plus, he isn’t really my type, but that information is negligible.

When I explained all these reasons why I didn’t want to give this guy a chance, my close friend asked if I dated around. Absolutely not. Dating is an investment, just like my apparel, or my education. If I were to date that guy, that would give a message to other people, specifically other guys, that I enjoy spending time with people who have no ambition. Being an ambitious young woman, I refuse to market myself that way. By all means, it’s very nice that he liked me, for all the reasons that I was what he aimed to be, but I’m not going to date someone because they like me. A lot of people like me, I get approached very often to go out on dates and I continuously refuse because I either don’t know that person, or I don’t want to be intimately attached to an individual that I know relatively well. I’m in no position to teach someone how to be driven, or how to be like me. I get a lot of my spirit from my parents, so I highly doubt you could really teach a person that behavior. I am nobody’s mother, so I’m not going to teach you how you should be living your own life.

I don’t think cuffing season contestants look at relationships like that, so that’s probably why they continue to play the game. Must be nice, ignorance and it’s bliss.

Tell me what you think: am I high strung? Is this rational?
How do you feel about cuffing season, waste of time or time of your life?
