Get it right.
 
Ignorance can be cured with Knowledge. Stupid is Forever.

A man may make many mistakes but he isn't a failure until he blames someone else.

Well done is better than well said.

Sometimes, you just have to stare down the barrel of progress and hope there?s not one sitting in the chamber.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
And haven't been too serious,
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she prefers the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you're honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straight forward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends

pretty much the rules that govern all of my social interactions.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit around in a boat and drink beer all day.

The genders aren't interchanging in this. It's a bit tricky, but read correctly, they agree just fine. The part that's probably tripping you up is the middle section where it basically switches to a generalized statement saying (paraphrased) "no boy ever likes to be rejected by a girl," before going back to advice for the female.

The real question is why you would brake the news. That's just going to leave the boy in suspense wondering what the rest of the news was.

It is rather simple and "silly" almost, but can be considered "Carpe Diem" as well.

life's about the journey, not the destination. enjoy the ride.

but i like your quote better.

how about this one:
rent girls. it's cheaper than buying them. (ie: marriagE)
