Sighing, I open my browser and click on the search icon.
How to get over feelings for a guy who moved away
The first suggestion in the first thread I open? Hook up until you can’t remember your own name, and then you can’t focus on anything else.
I was hoping that wouldn’t be one of the suggestions.
Can anyone even stack up against Erik?
With a shrug that’s directed at nobody, I download the notorious MeatMarkt, an app designed for dudes to organize quick and easy hookups with each other. I log into my old account, and a sea of profiles greets me. I don’t even bother updating my own page and start scrolling, but then the familiar stream of messages begins to roll in.
Looking?
Let me suck your dick
I wanna cum on ur abs
Breed me
I bet you have a tight little ass that’s begging to be fucked

Jesus Christ. No thanks.
I delete MeatMarkt less than five minutes after downloading it.
If I’m going to get over Erik, I’ll have to wait it out. The prospect of doing that alone makes me sick, and being alone this weekend is gonna suck.
Resigned, I text my parents.
Can I come visit
Mom
Of course! Is everything OK?
Yeah I just need a weekend away
Dad
Oh boy that’s not good
I’ll pick up an extra bottle of something at the liquor store
Thanks?
Mom
You can’t drink all your boy problems away
Who says it’s boy problems
Dad
Your last-minute trips here are always because of boy problems
OK fine
