I Fell In Love and All I got was this Stupid T-shirt

So it ends. My boyfriend who I've dated for two years, and has been in love with me for five, finally found another girl. We've been on hiatus for a couple of months now but I was still in shock when he told me. He's so quiet and shy that I never really pictured him hooking up with another girl, let alone so soon. Despite me being the real reason we're no longer together, hearing about him moving on has made me want him again. In some twisted way I've gotten so used to him fitting into my life the way he has that the change frightens me. Of course we're still friends, and he claims he still loves me but it's different. How can it not be. Once you've gotten so close to someone, shared your time, love and body, there is no going back. We aren't going to be like we were in the beginning when he was a sweet guy I knew who pined after me. Now I'm the ex girlfriend and potential threat to any new woman in his life. Not that I'm going to dissappear because I certainly won't. The thing is I know that I wouldn't want my man to still be close to his ex, but so what we all have our double standards and I've just discovered mine!

Love in the Time of the World Wide Web
Is it possible to meet the person you're supposed to be with over the net. I've been pondering this quandry myself and have come to the conclusion that yes it is very possible. Living in New York City I will never meet a significant number of people who live here, an amount that grows every day. Therefore why not use a method that will ensure I can come in contact with people I would normally never meet? I'll tell you why, because the cost is too damn much. Now I hope to one day find my soul mate, I think we all secretly do. But I refuse to pay something like $200 a year(the price of one place I visited) in order to do so. What happens if I never meet that special someone. Do I get reimbursed? Of course not. Mind you most of these places almost guarantee you'll make a connection but something tells me they've got certain stipulations hidden away in the fine print. So I suppose I must remain content with doing things the regular way and hope for the best. Oh and of course take advantage of some of those free trails the sites offer(hey,love is like the lottery, you never know :)
