" Joe Jonas. Your seventh grade boyfriend and first kiss, in the very back row of Ice Age 2, while his best friend Mike Kaminsky threw Skittles in front of the projector and laughed so loud he got shushed by nearby theatergoers. Almost all of your dates were group hangs, even the semi-formal, for which you missed the Very Special Episode of Boy Meets World where Shawn&amp;#039;s dad dies. He passed you a breakup note during Social Studies the following Monday. Taylor Lautner. At first, you could hardly believe he liked you. He was so popular! His chest was so defined! He wore Livestrong bracelets! He had the square head of a true jock! But as you rose in the ranks of high school popularity as his girlfriend, you realized you were bored. He was sweet, but your texts and conversations lacked any passion or urgency, and half the time you hung out in person, you just sat there and watched him play video games with his friends. You broke up right before college, but not before losing your virginities to each other, probably during a Ben Folds Five song. Ed Sheeran. You met in college, when he smoked too much weed and you hadn&amp;#039;t figured out how to do your hair yet. You talked about everything \u2014 philosophy, books, music, relationships \u2014 and had never been more comfortable with a guy your age. Eventually, through mutual friends, you hear murmurs that he&amp;#039;s in love with you. You ignore it, which isn&amp;#039;t the most mature option, but you don&amp;#039;t feel the same way and you don&amp;#039;t want to lose the friendship. Even when he and you start dating other people, it&amp;#039;ll always be there, that grain of weirdness. John Mayer. When you met him you&amp;#039;d just gotten out of college, and you had one of those jobs where you had to go out in 20 degree weather to pick up an assortment of bagels and cream cheese for people with higher-paying jobs who weren&amp;#039;t as smart as you. He challenged you on something in a crowded bar, and was ultimately right, and even though he was kind of a dick about it, you were immediately infatuated. You hooked up, on and off, despite the repeated signs that not only was he not interested, but he was in no shape to be in a relationship, period. Because you were depressed for other reasons, you projected everything onto him: If he didn&amp;#039;t love you, it was your fault, and you needed to be better. You ignored more stable, sweet guys. You were obsessed with other girls he might have been hooking up with. Every strong, feminist bone of your body rebelled against being so pathetic and lovesick, and it was like you were at odds with your own self. It was a very unhappy time. Jake Gyllenhaal. After the last time, you decided the next guy had to have his shit together, and this guy did. He had a great apartment, one of those super classy knife sets, a dog, and was the best on-paper guy you&amp;#039;d ever been with. He sometimes told you to &amp;quot;calm down&amp;quot; when you got upset, which alternately frustrated and appealed to you. Ultimately, you were just in such different places in life that you had to say goodbye. Conor Kennedy. You had a summer fling with a rich boy, which might have been the first time your life overlapped with something that would be in Sweet Valley High. While he came from a dysfunctional family, to say the least, he came with a lot less baggage than most guys. After awhile, lying around on a yacht wearing all-white and quoting Family Guy lost its mystique, even though it did make some lovely Instagram pictures. Harry Styles. It had been awhile since you found a guy who could keep up with you, and he was a great other half of a power couple. You were both kicking ass in the same industry, and you looked great together. However, he liked to go out. A lot. And it wasn&amp;#039;t like you were an introvert, but there were some days when you couldn&amp;#039;t afford to be hungover in the morning, or didn&amp;#039;t feel like waiting outside a club with a bunch of shivering models. When you broke up, he went around telling all his friends that you were no fun. But it&amp;#039;s not true, you are fun! Staying in and baking and watching Titanic is more fun than ordering bottle service and yelling over bad music to people you talk shit about behind their backs. Meredith. Friends &amp;#039;till the end.  Follow Anna on Twitter.   Via Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
