We had been looking at homes for a few months and finally found one. After talking about the mortgage, she wouldn’t co-sign the house with me. Less than week of moving in to the house together, the nude photographs she sent to her online gaming friends showed up in my email inbox.

Aftermath: Moved out a month later, and never talked to her again.

We were in the middle of our equally appreciated morning sex, when she stopped and informed me she could not continue until I apologized to her for the position I chose to sleep in after a night of drinking together.

Aftermath: I gave her everything I had for 19 months, a week after this occurrence I gave up hoping she would figure herself out. She had some serious self esteem issues. I recommended therapy, but she blamed me for it all. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m still in love with who she could be.

I was on a blind date. We had time to kill before the movie at the mall. We were walking around and small-talking in the electronics department of a store. They were playing an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. To get a laugh, I sang along with the song that Bugs was singing. She looked at me in an odd way. I explained that I had the song on a CD. That only made it worse.

Aftermath: Cartoon Boy didn’t get a second date.

My friends were going through the (gay) exotic massages and other sexual offers on Craigslist and laughing at how funny some of them sounded. They got to one that had a familiar number. It was my boyfriend’s number.

—Jane Doe

Aftermath: Had a guy friend set up a time and place to meet him. I was there to and broke up with him.

We went out once. He Facebooked friended me that same day. I didn’t hear from him again for, oh, a month, so I thought it was safe to assume neither of us was particularly interested. I unfriended him. A day later, he refriended me and asked me why I unfriended him.

Aftermath: It was a non-starter. I haven’t responded to the friend request. I think it will stay that way.
