[ WP ] Break up letter from a highschooler ( male ) to his girlfriend after a short relationship .

Claire, 
 
 I know this is the coward's way out, but the time that we agreed upon is at a close. I'm pretty sure that I'm not attracted to you even as nice and caring as you were for this time. There was no spark between us, and I know at the bottom of it we were both a relationship of convenience. 
 
 I have seen the way your parents smiled when I was over for dinner, and felt like you were touting me as an object of the standard highschool repertoire experience that has eluded both of us. I imagine you felt likewise as my mom poked fun at you last Thursday during our study session. 
 
 Your initial suggestion of having a'test-drive' relationship was a good one, and I do not fault you for suggesting it, nor do I fault you for keeping it going as long as it has. This is valuable relationship experience for both of us, and I feel as if my life has been enriched by the experience. But I simply feel that nothing more can be gained from staying in a static relationship. 
 
 I'd very much like to remain friends, but I can not take the constant ragging from my friends about more crass happenings and the rumors which would do ill to your reputation. I am not a popular man, I am not good for your social standing, and most importantly I know you like Richard. You deserve someone you like, not someone you thought would be a training wheels relationship. So go! Explore the social ladder, find something that truly interests you. No need to shackle yourself to something that is already crumbling at the seams. 
 
 I'll still be here collecting data, from a safe distance. If you ever need a quick analysis, I'll still be here for assistance. 
 
 Until next Chemistry lab, 
 
 Preston
