If you've ventured away from your hometown for the summer, you've got it made. The ideal way to put an end to a summer romance where the chances of ever seeing the person again is slim to none is to simply be up front and honest with the lucky guy or girl whom you're having the fling with.

It's not like you're ever going to see them again.Ending a summer fling where the chances of stumbling into the person you're having the fling with is very likely is a trickier situation and should be handled with great care and consideration. You don't want it to be painfully awkward every time you see them, nor do you want there to be any hard feelings or animosity. So, what do you do?
1) Ice cream is delicious and everybody likes it.
2) Everybody stuffs their face with ice cream after a breakup. You'll be saving them a trip to the grocery store. How considerate of you!

a public place. You're chances of avoiding a "scene" during a breakup are higher if it's done in a public space. Everybody knows this.
4) Ice cream is full of sugar. Sugar produces serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that makes people feel happy. Therefore, your summer fling will be less sad over the breakup if they are eating ice cream. It's science.
