How To Be A Heartbreaker by @hazelandglasz

Rule #1: You gotta have fun. But when you’re done, you gotta be the first to run.

Rule #2: Don’t get attached to somebody you could lose.

Rule #3: Never wear your heart on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat.

Rule #4: Gotta be looking pure. Kiss them goodbye at the door and leave them wanting more.

Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) is a real heartbreaker. He doesn’t care about labels or who’s he sharing his bed with as long as it has a beautiful girl or a handsome boy. But after the flirting and the nights he spends with his current lovers, he leaves them to pine after him.
