It sounds like you did it all right, and I'm sure Dawn will get over it. You're not choosing life-partners at 15, no matter how intense it gets.

(And on that matter, I recommend you wait a good long while. My cousin got married when she was 18. Ten years later she was divorced with two kids. At 18, her parents thought it was too soon for her to marry. At 28, she had learned to agree with them.)

For future reference, here are my rules for ethical break-ups:

1. Break up before you go looking around. Don't string someone along while you establish a relationship with someone else. End it first, and take your chances.

2. Break up quickly, simply, and honestly. "Brunhilda, you're a good person, but I don't want us to go out any more" is all you need. Don't be rude, but more words you use, the worse it gets.

3. Forget "let's just be friends." You've just dumped her, she doesn't need a friend like you, not right now, anyway. If you're going to be friends, it'll happen later on. Or not.

4. Once you've broken up, stay broken up. Otherwise you become a yo-yo: you get back together, but the same things that you didn't like about her (and she about you) are still there. So you split up, again, and it's worse the second time around.

5. Don't dishonor her, or yourself. When people ask whether you're broken up, and why, just say that you are and leave it at that. Don't disrespect her, don't put her down, and even if she's been banging you along with every other guy in town, the school nurse and a purebred German Shepherd, don't ever talk about her sexually. It's nobody's business but yours and hers.

6. And whatever you do, DON'T make the drunken 3am phone call that goes, "Hi, you ruined my life, I hate you, but I love you all the same and can't we get back together." This happens to a lot of guys when they're dumped, but I've heard of guys who are the dumpers doing it as well. And it's pathetic.

Finally, an important thing for guys to remember is that you're fine as you are. You don't need a girlfriend to be all right, and your life isn't somehow empty without one. If you find yourself without a girlfriend, take that opportunity to do stuff that your ex would never do with you -- mountain bike, lift weights, skydive, paint watercolors, write your name in the snow (I'll let you figure out how), whatever. Just find some activity that you really like and that you didn't do with your ex, and go do it. Do it a lot, too, if it makes you feel better.

You know what's amazing? Girls can smell unconfident guys -- and believe me, they stink! So when you're out on your bike on a single-track in the woods, and you get down a tough hill without taking a header for the first time ever, you will become instantly attractive -- to you and to chicks -- because nobody likes a loser.

So don't be one, and you'll find them coming to you. 'Till then, enjoy your life on your own terms.
