love advice from a seven year old

My 7 year old ward is very concerned about my personal life. He really liked Jake, and was sad when I explained the break up. We’ve been having these intense Wes Anderson moments ever since. Like the day after Jake left me, I told Jordan that my heart literally felt broken, and he stared at me for a while before laying his hand on my arm. Or the other day in the car out of the blue he asked, “Do you miss Jake?” I said yes. He said, “Well, he’s going to have to graduate to being your friend. And that’s very very hard.”
Today I was folding my laundry and he advised me to get a new boyfriend. I asked where I was supposed to meet this boyfriend. “At the coffee shop. You just go up to him and say, ‘Hi, my boyfriend doesn’t want to be my boyfriend anymore. Would you like to be be my boyfriend?’ Oh, but make sure he’s handsome. He should have a good haircut, like me.”
Now the appropriateness of discussing my love life with a 1st Grader aside, he makes a good point. I’m starting to nurture some around-town crushes. None of them really set my heart a-flutter, but they are distracting, at least. Here is a list of my half-hearted crushes:
-A gymnastics coach at Jordan’s gym
-A fellow patron at the Fresh Pot
-The Stumptown coffee delivery man (he is an alumni crush from 2002, when he worked at the flower stand by my house)
-The video store boy
-Reed Harkness (who is in a relationship, I think.)
Today was the first day in three weeks I didn’t wake up feeling like I would vomit. This is a good thing.
