Sam Hunt tells the truth when he says, "you gotta move or move on, when you break up in a small town".
It such a common thing today to date in college. We talk to someone and the next month we are talking to someone else. Usually, no commitment involved. You meet up at the bar. You send the text when you are ready to leave. This is how talking goes in college.
Then you meet someone.
Maybe you swiped right on Tinder. Maybe you sent the first message on Bumble. Maybe you stumbled into each other in that small coffee shop on the square. But it happened.
You start to date. You meet both of the families. You finally let your guard down. Everything is perfect.
Until it isn't.
You wake up, you break up.
You both are in the same college. Same building. You see each other every day.
You collect your things. You move on. You stop talking. That should be it, right?
Wrong.
What they don't warn you about breaking up in a small, college town is they will date someone else. Someone you have had class with, one of your sisters, one of the girls you met in a bathroom at the local bar. You will know them. Maybe you haven't spoke in person. But you know them. You follow them on social media. You are friends with one of their friends.
So, you find out he is dating the girl you never dreamed he would. You thought it would never happen. But while you were right swiping on your next big fling, he was doing the same. While you were getting over him, he was getting over you.
Breaking up in a small town happens.
Don't move though, move on. You might actually stop seeing his car after a year or more. There are a lot of stop lights...
